The Good Life.

You have a nice life.
A good group of friends who you would happily see every day but equally you could not call for a month and nothing will have changed between you.
You have hobbies, interests, pasttimes which you enjoy and fulfil you.
Routines which you have carved and which comfort you.
Music and books and films which you love.
Dreams you treasure.
Family you cherish.
Maybe you could do with a bit more cash or more free time.
Maybe this isn't the job of your dreams or you havn't got a job at all.
Maybe you're not a high flier or a social butterfly.
Maybe it would be nice to have a good man/woman in your life.
Maybe you don't travel to amazing places or have supper with celebrities.
Maybe.
But fundamentally, when you get down to the nitty gritty, down to the bottom line, you know your life is a good one and you are happy with it.
Don't doubt yourself. You do lead a good life.
A full life.
That desparate inner yearning you sometimes get. That impossible ache of desire for...something else, something you can't quite put your finger on.
That is put upon you externally.
Don't be led to believe by others who are less emotionally mature than you that there is something essential missing from your existence. Something that should be paraded and envied.
There isn't.
There is nothing to envy.

You have a good life.

You have a good, good life.
