One day when in Japan, a Christian asked to offer me a pray. She needed to know what i specific want so as she could give me a pray, i answered I want to be happy. I did not have a slightest idea of what i mean to be happy, i just did not have any other wishes. Happiness could be such a general phrase.
Today, when I wrote down some first words of this piece, which is supposed to be a list of ten things making me happy. I did hesitate for a while because I could not find up to ten things. Happiness is not Sơn Tùng MTP songs which are everywhere. In fact, i have to admit that there aren’t a lot of things that make me happy, but dismay as it seems, i feel happy because there are some certain things that float on my mind immediately when i think about happiness. Those truly wondersome things that could make a morning less mournful, insecurities invisible and life likeable.
1.Chilling on bed with music
2. Bob Dylan
3. The Beatles

Surprisingly, those happy elixirs are coming out like instagram’s friends suggestion. It is such a blessing to find oneself having so much things to relish especially when i have been refraining myself from thinking about happiness recently for the fear that i might find my current circumstance unsatisfactory.
However, thinking about it, my list of life elixirs would prolong forever despite the fact i could not think of many in the first place. It is because for me happiness is generally life, to be more precise, the ability to see and feel petty trivial stuffs such as rythm played by the soulful artists, savoury food made by experienced local old ladies and uncles or simply the everyday sky with its variation of pantone. As long as you can see them, they never fail at making you feel like a flower.
