what makes you happy? Lyrics

Since college, I think it's been fun to see what you've done with your film degree

But then how you've morphed that into not just film

Not just photography

That you've, you know taken your music and your passion for music

And figured out a way to kind of blend all these genres together

And figure out how just to find your creative outlet

So that's fun for us to see and watch you do

Because we know that makes you happy

Life is about experiences

So go out and do as many as you can

And those experiences are not always going to be good

Some of it's just putting yourself out there and challenging yourself

But some experiences are going to be rough

They don't feel good at the time

But they are what shapes you into the person that you're meant to be

Just looking at gratitude

Getting up in the morning

And thinking of three or five things that you're just eternally grateful for

Even if it's the same thing every morning

A warm shower

A good night's sleep

Whatever it is

Dad told you a long time ago

That the most important decision you're going to make is who you choose to spend your life with

And that is certainly the person you're going to marry

But also the people you choose to surround yourself with

Make sure they're feeding you and that they're not toxic

Man that wears on you a lot

If you don't surround yourself with good people that you want to spend your time with

My hope for you is that you will always be happy

And when I say happy, I don't mean happy in the moment

I mean you'll find real joy and happiness in life

Happiness will ebb and flow because of circumstances

But real joy and happiness comes from looking beyond your current circumstances

And realizing that you just really have a lot to be grateful for
