this happened yesterday. i forgot to write about it.

i took the last two days off work because i wanted to read Harry Potter. but i ended up doing other things. yesterday i took my little star to the oc fair. it was cool to hang out with her again (we hadn't really hung out since i started working), and yes, i spent too much money like always. i guess if you're not making a lot of money, 60-70 bucks is too much especially if you had to take a day off work just to spend it.

but anyways, it was fun. at the end of the day, when we were on the last ride, my little star said, "i'm having the best day of my life!!"

then i had the best feeling in the world. it was the most amazing thing anyone ever said to me. it was almost like i was in a different world, and i didn't know if it was true or not and i wanted to believe it but then again they were too good words. for the first time in a long time, i felt genuinely happy. i guess it just felt soooo good to know that i was being appreciated and that i actually gave someone "the best day of [their] life." i don't know how else to explain exactly how i felt, but i was happy.

but then again, i guess that's what happiness is. simple. and you actually feel it in your heart.

that ~160 bucks (what i actually spent + taking a day off) was worth every penny. people say you can't buy happiness, but i guess i just bought myself some.
