The Architecture of Happiness by Lizbeth Galeno

Read by Conner Arnold

A comfort zone is very much like the house you grew up in.
Familiarity is your favorite set of curtains,
just so happening to lock out sunshine the moment it rises.
Love is your favorite word, conveniently complimenting the ideal shade of stability.
What you don’t see are the beautiful possibilities.
The truth is, you can settle for a home you’ve adapted to
for this is the way most people get by.
But true happiness is buried in the architecture of chance.
Home is a battle between everything you’ve known and everything you could ever want.
If the day comes and you realize home resides within another human, you ensure the ground is sturdy enough for the two of you.

– you’re the architect of your haven
