Guess What Everyone?!

ok. so here goes.
As i was getting onto the bus this morning to go to school, as usual i said "good morning" to the bus driver. (yeah, i know, i'm a total drip.) anyway, for some reason, i said it louder than a hoarse whisper, and i thought i heared a hint of cheer in my voice. this is odd, as i usually don't have much cheer, even if i'm cheery.
So as i'm sitting down, i started thinking, as i always do, as the bus continued on it's route.
And then it hit me, like the way Orlando Bloom hit those orcs with his arrows in the LOTR movies:
I'm happy.
At first, it didn't seem right. What teenager in his right mind would sit down and think to himself that he's actually happy? but after a while, i realized that surely it must be true.

I think it's interesting that if you ask most teenagers today if they're happy, they'll probably tell you, "yeah, i'm happy", although they're really not.
The part that i find interesting is that many kids have nothing to be unhappy about. Granted, especially in a place like somersworth where 50% or so of the kids are comming from broken homes and are on drugs half the time, many people *do* have something to be unhappy about. But a lot of times we'll look at a situation, and if we're not especially happy, the immidiate reaction is that you're unhappy. Its as if we've pushed contentedness off the map.

Anyway, whether or not i'm right about anything, i'd just like to point out that the one thing i have going for me is that i'm happy. and not depressed.
