I want happiness that starts the minute the alarm sounds off each morning.

I want to wake up and feel excited about the day ahead.

Yet every time I started to believe Id finally found love, Id start to feel something else instead.

I want happiness that starts the minute the alarm sounds off each morning.

I want to wake up and feel excited about the day ahead.

I dont want to wonder if Im getting a good morning text or if Ill crumble when I dont.

I want to curl up on the couch and binge old episodes ofFriendsorGreys Anatomyafter a long day of work.

I want to go to bed early or stay up late whatever makes me happy.

Most of all, I want to look in the mirror and not care what I see.

I want to feel comfortable in my body no matter where I am.

I dont want to worry about impressing potential lovers or keeping up appearances.

So this time, Im changing the narrative in the story of my life.

I absolutely want love someday, but right now I want happiness so much more.
