be ridiculously happy

Sometimes, all it may take is a simple gesture to make someone else ridiculously happy for the rest of the day.
Look around, there are probably people around you who are shy by nature … they need you to make the first move, whether to offer help, or just to recognize that they exist.

I just came back from the club…I always come happy! I still have a lot of energy…makes me happy that I don’t have any classes tomorrow…oooppss…I mean today!...lol

I must have been ridiculously happy, I was laughing/giggling for like ten minutes straight .. I couldn’t stop. It was good, just a real good time. I think I haven’t been this happy in awhile. It’s good.

...You just have to work at it. If you are unhappy it is no one’s fault but your own. You have to make efforts and take action and not allow things to stand in your way. We all have obstacles and hardship, you have to get past it and move on.

And those moments make all the rest worth it.

And sometimes, I just think of them, and it takes me back to the extent that I smile, and I know that whatever I’m going through at this instant, it’s gonna be all right.

because it made me realize I haven’t been ridiculously happy consistently since the summer (many moons ago) I went to Cambridge and fell in love (with my ex).

Cambridge has a Shakespeare Summer School Program so I took some classes and got to see plays at the Globe and RSC. This was around the time I wanted to be an actress. There were lots of foreigners there and I met all kinds of cool people. I really felt like I was in my element.

Of course, I was also younger and more hopeful and felt more like I had “my whole life” ahead of me and all kinds of possibilities. Sometimes I’d be walking down the street in Cam and I’d feel bursts of happiness, like, “I’m here! I’m really here!” It was wonderful.
