Word.

I went to the store yesterday, and asked them for a happy life. They said...

"There is no such thing as a happy life. However there is one thing that's close enough, it goes by the name extraordinary life. It's basically just an ordinary life mixed with the zest and richness of its own."

"Does it make me happy?" I asked.

"Well, it does have happiness but it also comes with sadness, failures and unfortunate events."

"Is it possible to omit the sadness ingredient?"

"No, cause it's part of the richness. That's what makes the ordinary life extraordinary."

I guess I'd have to agree with their point. There is no actual happy life or extraordinary life, just ordinary life blended with the richness of it. And who's to discover the richness but ourselves. Word.
