sappy

during my break of my night class i walked to 7-11 for some soda and cigarettes, aka, my life blood, and as i passed city hall, i saw this.
i took a step closer and took another picture.

i don't know what it was about this scene, but it felt serene, peaceful, hopeful.
listen, i may be getting sappy in my old age, but something within me clicked in this moment and i felt at complete ease.
now, i have been called "astronomically narcissistic" in the past, and i very well may be such, but i realized something.
i am happy.
i am in a well adjusted, wonderful relationship with someone who i absolutely adore, i am nearly finished with school, and guess what, i am good at what i do.
confidence is a weird thing.
i think i feel at ease because i am comfortable with myself and my path, and honestly, i feel more inspired than ever.
so, if you see me out and about, don't be surprised if i am smiling. i know it may be startling, but just go with it.
