Coming To A Decision

Posted in Blog  by: Lottie

And it goes a little something like this:


“When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I wrote down “happy.”
They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

    @Holemaster – Not my mother. But she had very similar sentiments.

    @B-Dum – Alas no. The words of some far wiser now anonymous being.

    I really want to see Lottie pictured here in a 1920s stripey costume and a flowery swim hat now!

    I just copped what that decision is. You’re right (if its what I think it is).

    It’s a nice quote ….wish it was actually as simple as just saying “I want to be happy” and making it happen though!!!

  9. Lottie Says:

    @Conortje – Been there, done that. I wouldn’t advise it when you’ve had a few drinks.

    @Holemaster – Yes. I think so too. Cryptic much. I don’t mean to be.

    Just so everyone else realises too, I’m taking 6 months off college. Bring on the summer!!!!

    @Catherine – I know. But it’s a start to want it.
