Happiness experts always say that the thing that makes you most happy isn't the gift you receive, or the trip that you're on, or maybe even the boyfriend you land--but everything
leading up to that moment. Thinking about what it will be like. Planning what you are going to do. Creating all your expectations. [I guess, in the end, then, it makes sense that the actual act itself isn't going to make you happy--can it really live up to all your thoughts and dreams?!] Well, maybe one thing can. A surprise spring trip to Paris.
I'm lucky to have a boyfriend crazy enough to make this a reality.
But even while I start jotting down plans, and cutting out articles with all the shops I'm planning to visit filled with all the things I'm itching to buy, I always find myself thinking about what I need to buy NOW to be perfect for THEN. Like, all the striped tees and comfy shoes I can find and a few kitschy accessories.
Don't even get me started on what I plan to buy THERE... [or let's at least save that for another day]
