About This Quote
This was the simple happiness of complete harmony with her surroundings, the happiness that asks for nothing, that just accepts, just breathes, just is. The happiness that comes from perfect contentment. The happiness that comes from doing things that make you happy and doing them well. The happiness that comes from saying what you feel and not worrying about how it will be received. The happiness that comes from letting yourself be free and accepting the fact that there are no rules in life except one: Do what makes you happy.
