the slo life.

The winter time is perfect cuddle time.

In many of my past posts I’ve discussed the issue of “happiness intensity.”  Of how I thought it was fine to go day to day with mediocrity if there were instances—certain days, nights, hours— where happiness was not only present but was intensely show-some-teeth-with-your-smile, butterflies-in-your-stomach, open-a-gift-on-Christmas-day-when-you-were-two present. 

Now I know that not only are there different levels of happiness, but there are different types.

It’s not a secret how happy a boyfriend or lover can make someone.  Some of the happiest moments of my life have been in the presence of a significant-male-other.

But I feel like I just NOW found out how happy you can make yourself.  These past months have been the only months in several years where I have no text to wake up to or arms to fall asleep in.. or set boy to go on a date with on a friday night.  But it’s honestly also been one of the BEST quarters of my life. 

Not to say that my new found solidarity is better than my previous state.. it’s just different.  &It’s really working for me.

But I do wanna say to all my single lady followers out there—if it’s been working for you for a while now, don’t be afraid to try something new ;) 

The winter time is perfect cuddle time.
