Analysis of Shower Thoughts



I wonder all morning
I could be a pilot
I could go to jail
I could solve world hunger
I could get a puppy for christmas
Only you can decide
You make life what you want it to be
I choose to make mine happy
Some people choose not to be happy
Life is more enjoyable when you are happy
You have more opportunities when you are happy
Sometimes it's good to be sad
You should be sad when there is death
You should be sad when someone is hurt
Sadness shouldn't control you though
Life should be pleasant
Everyone should strive for happiness
Only if they want to enjoy living
