033: Happiness is...

Happiness is...

- having people who care about you
- not feeling like a damaged freak all the time
- working in a place that you love
- having a beautiful place to live
- feeling safe
- pretending to be in a fairy tale
- dancing
- kisses

Are you friends with Sarah?

Sarah?

Oh, I think I've talked to her. She's very nice.

She loves fairy tales.

I like your list.

Oooh! I'll have to talk to her about them.

Do you? I just... feel so happy right now that I wanted to write it down.

Yes. And I think everyone feels damaged sometimes, I'm glad you don't feel it all the time.

Did anything in particular make you happy?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-11-02 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, everything!

And I went on a date and learned how to dance and people made me a house and just...

I don't ever want to leave here.

You went on a date! Who's the lucky guy?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-11-02 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
His name is Mat and he's really so wonderful and kind.

[identity profile] playstheblues.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well he sounds like he's really nice.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
He is very nice.

He makes me feel... like I matter. Like I'm good just being me.

That's really important in someone you're dating.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

I don't know if we're dating. That might be a little presumptuous of me.

He took me dancing and to dinner. And then he took me to the Masquerade, but... I'm not sure someone that wonderful would want to be dating someone like me.

Because I'm...

I am damaged.

[identity profile] playstheblues.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
If he likes you, then that's all that matters.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-11-03 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
It would be nice.

I'd never been on a date before. Or danced or had a kiss or anything before him.

Oh, ever so very nice!

I was so scared to go, but it was wonderful!
