I know these threads are supposed to be jokes but really this is how you should handle that situation

I don't know, OP.

My life is infinitely better now that I have friends, but I don't really know what I'm doing different... I scream a lot less, I guess.

Also, there's something pretty about anyone and anything. You just have to find it, even if it's just something utterly banal.

Also, smiles. I have this insane thing with smiles. Like, any honest, happy emotion just kills me. Try to focus on people being happy. It'll make you happier, too.

People seem to have the opinion that enjoying little, meaningless things makes you somehow inferior and philosophically incompetent or whatever they go on about.

What I like to do is make something to eat (it could be cookies and milk, or a roast, it doesn't really matter) and then you clear off your table and set it and make the plate look really wonderful so that it looks like a Norman Rockwell kind of setting and then you sit down proper, using all of your manners and eat.

It's really great. It's soothing.
And listen to Werewolves of London.

So I've never really written anything but strictly academic work. I wrote this on a whim a while ago, and was wondering what people's reaction may be to it.

Showing it to my friends only receives compliments, and I doubt they have the heart to tell me if it's forced or flat out bad.

So, I come to /lit/ to see if I can get a feel of what you may think of it.

Oh and here's the story in case anyone's interested or needs to refer to it:
