I Think Home Is Where Your Laughter Finds You

Hey shug,

Do you ever just lay down at night and realize you spent the day thinking about all the wrong things? Do you ever have the notion that we spend so much time caring about all the things that don't matter? Every day is filled with so many of these little moments that are so perfect and we never stop and take notice. What is life if not built off of these little moments? The idea that no matter how bad things have been going for us, sometimes the universe still has our backs. What is life if not walking into a room full of strangers, and six weeks later walking out with a handful of people you consider friends? People whose humor plays well with yours? People who ask how your day is going? The idea that you came home and sat on the bed to listen to your roommate tell you a story and you genuinely got how she was feeling. To form that human connection with someone because you understand a part of their story. The idea that your best friend called you today just to talk about each other's lives and play catch up. The idea that you and your people laughed your asses off last night over nothing at all. The idea that today you heard a pretty girl sing a song you secretly love and the realization that it might just be the best sound you've ever heard. The idea that you get to enjoy a peaceful night to yourself while the rest of the world sleeps. The idea that there are so many people whose presence was directly affected by you today and you have no clue. The idea that at the end of the day the only thing that matters is the connection we feel to other human beings. The idea that little moments spent with other people matter. The idea that we are creatures that yearn to belong together. The idea that some of us have just had the worst day we will ever have, and some people just had the best. Someone made eye contact with the love of their life for the first time today. Someone reconnected with a person who meant the world to them today. Someone got to see their child being brought into this world today. Someone watched their best friend make a full recovery today. The idea that every single one of us gets lucky sometimes.
