Paradise

Southern California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Northern California, Hawaii.

“What is happiness and unhappiness? It depends so little on the circumstances; it depends really on that which happens inside a person. I am grateful everyday that I have you, and that makes me happy.”

-Bonhoeffer

I have found a paradise, a place where worries cease to annoy, because of those around me. It has existed in so many different places and every time I discover it, it uplifts, carrying me to new heights and feelings that I had forgotten or had dimmed because of time, losing their sharpness and clarity. Paradise is an object that should be constantly sought, the object that influences every decision.
