I'm on the number 5 train going from Brooklyn to Manhattan and from the corner of my eye i see movement. Not the uncomfortable shift in the seat type movement, or the "let me move out of this guy's way before he yawns in my face with his hot breath again" maneuver, but a two step of some sort. I look over and it's the happiest man i've ever seen wearing an old school Daffy Duck shirt jamming to whatever flavour is banging in his ear. While everyone on the train sits quietly with an almost somber/nonchalant/unamused look on their faces, heading to work or wherever they go at 7AM, this one is JAMMIN. He seriously just said "f**** it this is my shii".
This puts things into perspective for me.. in life we have choices. We can choose to succumb to unhappiness and boredom or we can make the decision to change our perspective and just be happy. Find the good in every bad. Don't worry be happy. (insert another cliche phrase here) Now i'm not saying you need to be doing the bachata everywhere you go...but like...smile once in a while you know?
