Narrator

The following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie 'The Graduate'. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story.

Define:happiness

happiness: /ˈhæpinɪs/ -noun [hap-ee-nis] ;state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy
We all experience this common emotion on a daily basis, but what IS happiness. Of course this feeling is different in everyone, brought on by simple things such as a field of flowers, a walk on the beach, or simply the joy of waking up each morning. Everyone is different, so what is your definition of 'happiness'? I'd say happiness, to me, is living life to the fullest, always eager to learn, and simply loving simple thinks because sometimes the simplest things in life are the most beautiful; peacocks and tulips for example. Feeling the warm sun on my skin, or the cool air rush against me as I step outside the door. Laughing when absolutely nothing is even funny; being who I am because I couldn't care less what the guy next door thinks about me. That's happiness; so today I lived my life to the fullest [even when things didn't quite turn out the way I had exactly hoped] and tomorrow, I plan to do the same.
