What does Happy look like?

Fresh baked cookies. The worn out spine of a book you've read over and over. Guys who wink. Puffy skirts and polka dots. A new book from your favourite author. Perfectly iced cupcakes. Pink ribbons and black velvet. Sleeping kittens. A warm mug of tea. Autumn leaves. Fairy floss and Ferris wheels. Pretty high heels and scuffed up boots. Fairy lights. Cubby houses. Antique chairs. Wild flowers and daisy chains. Sandy beaches. Ice cream cones and Boost juice. Your room after a long holiday. Making your friends laugh. Merry-go-rounds. Perfectly curled hair and make up that lasts the night. When there's milk in the fridge when you feel like cereal. Nutella. A top that fits just right and jeans that never go out of style. Roast dinner. Your favourite TV shows. Sunsets and sunrises (when you can be bothered to get up to see them). Daffodils and snap dragons. Childhood toys. Warm croissants. Matching socks. Cute rings. Hula hoops and skipping ropes. Bright lipstick. Patterned tights. Crappy movies. Pasta. Blue eyes. Gogo boots. Sunny days and picnics in the park. Unexpected kisses. Party dresses. Ads that make you laugh. Blue ocean water. Glitter. Hot boys. Lace and masquerade masks. Shiny coins. Freshly painted nails. Cosy cafés with mismatched furniture. Happy.

Inspired by Jennifer E. Smith's book "What Happy looks like". I haven't quite finished it yet, but ohgosh it's good.
