I don't know why but I feel good!

Its Tuesday evening. Definitely not a weekend. But after a long and hard day's work, it actually feels like a well earned day of bliss. I'm on the couch watching my favourite movies, nearly home alone ( my sleeping sis doesn't really count!) and I'm not eating junk. The last part gives me a sense of pride over my self control! To be honest, I don't really have much stuff in my head. Thats actually a very unusual thing, but i think i'm in a happy bubble. And I'm not yet ready to burst it. You know what? Its a bit weird. I mean its a good weird 'cause its never really been so silent around me or rather in my head. There's always a kind of low buzz of thoughts rushing in and out. Memories flying past and people's faces drifting by. I nearly half hoped that all of them would suddenly come rushing in the moment i finished typing this sentence. But seems like i'm wrong today. I think i'm starting to like it. Maybe this is what people call 'The Me' time. A time when nothing matters. The tigers, rain forests, the kids in Africa, the poor farmers in their villages and the protests in Egypt can wait. The world can wait. Its almost like time stops for a second and there's this fleeting moment of bliss when there's absolutely nothing. In simple words, not a care in the world. A nice break from thinking I have the whole world on my shoulders. Well, I'm going to be really random today. And I have no clue where my next sentence will take me. So i'm just going with the flow. If you've been in this kinda moment before or if you get to close to it anytime soon, you'll agree, it feels great. Great in the true sense of the word. I'm not worried about the million exams i will write all through the week. I don't want to think of college or the people associated with it there. They don't matter. Well I think there's a multitude of happier things to talk about. There are actually three happy things i want to talk about; which i'm sure will bring me back in my bubble of happiness anytime in forever. The first is a warm shower on a cold winter morning. Second, my favorite blanket over me every night. And the third, water when i'm really thirsty. Three extraordinarily ordinary things which give that you know 'i don't know why but i feel really good' emotion. Its exactly a warm, mushy, tingly feeling. Its this typical moment when all the tangled complexities of the world become unusually simple. Uncomplicated. The moment when every thing is possible. Including me winning the next marathon. In short I feel good. Very very good. And I just don't know why I do.
