Walking in Sunlight

Well, as for the weather outside, my title is a little faulty. But let me just tell you this.
From the moment I woke up, my day has tried pretty profusely to put me down. Its the week before finals (which is stressful in itself) and the responsible side of me quickly reminded me this morning that I had a 7 page research paper due in two hours. Which of course I completely spaced and hadn’t even started. Somehow I managed to walk to school with a smile on my face prepared to tell my teacher that I didn’t have it. For some reason, he was feeling abnormally giving. So he gave me the rest of the day to finish it. Trying to write a 7 page paper on top of finishing another 10 page paper within 5 hours is.... DANG hard. At least for a freshman, lets be honest. But I somehow managed to whip them out. ..
As you can imagine, I felt pretty proud and giddy after I turned them in. Walking over to the bus to go home, I tripped. All. The. Way. Down. TWICE. And did the people around me laugh? Well, I don’t actually know because I had my earphones in. Annnnnd, I was too busy laughing at myself to care about being other peoples entertainment.
Right before I got on the bus, I decided that I was enjoying myself way too much. I wanted to spend an extra little while with me, so I decided to walk home. The long way.
Meanwhile, I was contemplating with myself and I came to the conclusion that I AM MY BEST FRIEND. Me and I get along so well. No one makes me laugh harder and no one seems to make me quite as happy. I am able to open up to myself easily and I would say that I basically know all of my own deepest darkest secrets. Anndd I definitely wear the pants, so thats a relief. I’m so excited to be stuck with myself for the rest of forever. And by no means am I saying that I’m not excited to find that “other person” who I’ll spend forever with, but for right now- I am living in the now and I’m so content.
I can’t really say why today has been so wonderful despite all of the minor roadblocks, but I can say that I truly live a charmed life. And I owe it all to the man who gave me everything. I am so grateful for the people in my life, the trials that I’ve been through, a plan, and a way.
When this song came on my Ipod, I couldn’t have agreed with a statement more fitting for that moment in time.
Its like walking in sunlight when the whole world is covered in rain clouds. Finding the truth and living it out loud. When you know what’s right, its like walking in sunlight.
