Blues

Existentialism is all well and good, the ponderings of life and what not all great. However, the truth is sometimes things that bring us the most happiness in life are not discovering that you are this or that, or that the universe is a living breathing thing wanting its inhabitants to be happy. No, sometimes the things that bring us the most happiness (albeit fleeting) are the little things: like blue nails.
A couple months back I decided that I was going to be one of those girls who painted her nails on a regular basis, making sure that they always look presentable. For the most part I have achieved that goal. The problem is that although I absolutely love my flamingo pink nail polish I felt that the pink and I had grown apart,we were in a rut so to speak. So in order to perk myself up I went out and did something I would normally frown upon. I bought Brisk Blue nail polish. I have no idea why is pleases me so much to look down at these happy blue nails but it does.
My eternal search is for happiness, long lasting, deep and true happiness. Now blue nails might not bring long lasting happiness but i think it is noteworthy the fact that something so small has the ability to make me so happy. Sometimes that's what we need to do for ourselves, pick ourselves out of any rut we may be in and just do something small. What that thing is, is entirely up to you. As for me, right now that something is blue nails.
