CONTAGIOUS
It's interesting how life works out where a small, tiny thing can completely turn my day/week/life around. An inkling of something good is all I need for all aspects of my life to get affected by that. And it goes both ways, so it works for an idea of something bad too. It colors everything else I do and everything I feel. It even colors how I feel about future possibilities.

This reminds me about the dual self post I had made a long time ago. I think I am now feeling my centered and happy self. I feel like I am at my best. There's still a tiny nag deep within, the part that won't let go but I've been kicking it regularly and telling it to fuck off.

The best part is, I am happier at home, nicer to Jake, more patient with David, more relaxed about my other commitments, just in general more pleasant to be around. Which then makes the people around me happier and then they go home and affect the people in their lives. And next thing you know, it's a snowball effect.

And all it takes is a tiny idea. A change in perception. A change in perspective. The possibility of a good thing and not the promise or guarantee of one. I think that's phenomenal. A tiny stirring in one person results in tons of happier people.

If that's not magic, I don't know what is.
