“I was happy but happy is an adult word.
You don’t have to ask a child about happy, you see it.
They are or they are not.
Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not.
Talking about it is the same as trying to catch the wind.
Much easier to let it blow all over you.”
Holy moses. Awesome quote that made me stop and think for a couple of minutes. He’s so right. And that picture is soooo great for this quote!
Ah thanks, hun 🙂 I really loved the feel of the photo: It made me feel young again in a good way 😉 And it is very true: It’s one of those a-little-less-conversation-a-little-more-action-please-things 😉
