Malaga!

Those red things in the bull ... they're swords :-(
Bull fights are not easy to watch, but everyone says you just have to do it ...

Happiness

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. ~A.A. Milne

The other day I was walking and I realized that I'm happy. It's weird to think, to say, to write ... I am a 20 year old girl - was I not happy before? The truth is, I think I lost myself a little while back - I wasn't acting like me and I didn't know what I wanted (out of life). Since being in Sevilla, I have felt more like myself than I have in such a very long time. I came to realize that I am not quite sure what I want or where I am going. It feels nice to not know exactly what I will be doing this summer or where I will be when I graduate or even which degress I will be graduating with, BUT I do know that I want to try and keep this feeling around ... the one that Pooh can't quite describe - the feeling right before you begin to eat the honey.

There is a moment in the movie Life as a House when Chris Kline says "I'm happy today", and that is the moment I had the other day. I can't completely explain why or exactly how I feel, but I know that I am happy. I know that I feel more in tune with myself and my surroundings than I had felt previously.

All I can say is that, just like Pooh, I can't really figure out what to call how I feel other than happiness - the feeling that my heart is literally smiling along side me with each passing moment (and even in the moments that make me frown ... my heart still feels whole and content).
