It's all about the little things.

You probably know the saying "Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth" by M.Twain. Very recently I did exactly that. I danced like nobody was watching.

I'm not a crazy dancing maniac (unless overly drunk ;) ), but this was one of the times I really enjoyed. I had a good company, but this time it wasn't about the company. I had one of my do-what-other-people-usually-don't moment. Even though the dancing ground of the local club was fairly crowded I closed my eyes and danced like I was the only person there. I didn't change the moves, I just enjoyed the music and dance. Even an occasional bump into adjacent dancers didn't bother me. I must admit, it was suprisingly freeing and nice feeling. I had my moment.

All this story leads to my main point. Life as a matter of fact is heaven on earth if you're willing and capable of seeing and enjoying all it's wonders. Very noteworthy amount of happiness I find in these little moments. In things I elect to do differently than others just because it's fun. Or in the miracles I manage to find in the most common things.

There is a ton of situations where people do something in one way just because everybody does it that way, because it's easier or because it's according to some kind of rules. And I'm not saying here that I'm a hipster (to be honest I just don't care about all that hipster business) or that you should go against all rules, but sometimes it's just so much more fun for you or the people around you to cut bread with scissors, invent and perform (with your partner) some crazy dance moves during waltz music played in a formal ball or simply watching the stars while walking along the very middle of an empty main street of the city. As they say - what ever makes you happy. Just remember, it's all about those moments in your life. It's all about the little things..

A couple of comments below this youtube music video:

*Do you see that smoke? That's life. It keeps changing colors, direction, patterns. It's perfect.
Don't you wish it never stopped moving to the right of the screen?

*I'm in awe. The whole song just felt like a hug, and a whisper that everything was going to be okay.

I'm not sure if those guys where smoking smth while listening to the song or those were just their sober opinions, but either way I can absolutely relate to them (not really sure what that says about me). Powerful stuff. Here goes the song, enjoy!
