Today when I was on my run I randomly thought about a Facebook post I made a long time ago, back when the platform was still only accessible to college students. It read something along the lines of “I’ve realized I’m really happy, and I’ve decided it’s going to stay that way.”

It made me smile to myself because I’ve been trying to practice gratitude recently. I really don’t have any reason not to be happy—none of us do—if we start from a place of gratitude. The world is amazing, and most people are good. Don’t worry, be happy.
