Recently I have found two minor things that make me happy: a frozen yogurt and my red Paul Frank umbrella. It was raining for two days this week, but I had totally different emotions and responses each day about raining. On the first day, I didn’t bring my umbrella. I got wet and wished I had a boyfriend who would worry if I would catch a cold and bring an umbrella for me. But in reality, nobody cared, except my mom. The day made me lonely and melancholy. However, on the second day, my mood was totally opposite just because I was holding a cute red Paul Frank umbrella in the rain with music on. Every step to campus was so light and happy. The bright red color and funny monkey faces made me full of joy.A frozen yogurt is another thing that makes me happy. I’m often confused and lost because of so many worries coming at the same time, such as midterms, getting-out-of money, loneliness, procrastinations, and insecurity on my future. But, when I go out with my friends and have a frozen yogurt, I instantly forget all those worries and fall into a fantastic fresh flavor of yogurt. This moment is one of my happiest times although it is extremely trivial and common.My cute umbrella and a frozen yogurt talk to me not to get too frustrated. So, I set my mind to be happy and enjoy my life. I decided to be satisfied where I am and who I am right now. I hope I am a frozen yogurt and my umbrella to people around me. I want to be comfortable to everyone, always being around, easily approachable, and be a relief and joy to them. I always wanted to be respected and loved by others, but before that, I should act out first, respecting and loving them with my heart. So, I will become their cute handy umbrella and a sweet dessert rather than being a fancy accessory or a main dish.
