Unhappiness is rooted in the ageless conflict between what we want and what we already have. In order to achieve happiness, we must either have our wants and desires routinely satisfied or fundamentally change our concept of want. All too often, when our current wants are attained, a new set of wants appear and thus a vicious cycle of want and unhappiness ensues. Therefore, the key to happiness ultimately lies in our ability to simply want what we already have. By being thankful for what we have been given, we are never left wanting, we are always satisfied and happiness becomes a reality.

Ask your female friends, if you have any, if they’ve ever walked home late at night with a key pushed through their knuckles, just in case, if they’ve ever crossed the street to avoid a stranger, just in case, if they’ve ever taken the long way home because of the weird guy on the corner, just in case. Ask them if they’ve ever made up a boyfriend to get a guy to leave them alone, if they’ve ever gotten off a train car and moved to the next because you just never know, if they’ve ever shelled out for a cab because men like you were at the bus stop. Do you really want to be that guy?

London last night. After Wahaca we went to Southbank, watched an Olympic slide show on the houses of parliament, which was actually really cool. Then we went to a wonderland and saw a freak show, including Lizard Man! such a lovely night, followed by the best day in Brighton.
