Music is Laughter

    I'm not sure how it is for you, but where I live, it gets cold. Like... Stupid cold. So it's nights like this where normal people bundle up inside with a good book by the fire. But not me and my crazy friends, oh no. Instead, we head out to my old high school's first playoff game of the season. I mostly go to support my old marching band and my friends who are still in it, but I will admit I'm a fan of football (: The best part though, is getting so see old friends and enjoying lots of laughs with them. There is a certain musical quality that comes from a group of people all laughing together. Each "ha" its own note, and every voice another "instrument" of sorts. Beautiful really. Because laughter is the embodiment of joy and happiness, and it can be found everywhere. Like music, laughter is universal, and does not require translation in order to be understood. The next time you laugh, think about that. A person from across the globe would be able to understand your emotions just from the sound of your laugh. They might not know WHY you are laughing, but they will understand that for whatever reason, you are happy. Music and happiness... They are the meanings of life if you ask me. Find a friend, create some music, and be happy.

Tonight I will leave you with the Swan Lake Suite composed by Tchaikovsky. Why? Because the opening oboe solo is my favorite and it brings happiness to my heart ♥

Here's to you, and the hopes you are able to find happiness in the little things (:
