How we chose to see the world

I have been lost in thought lately, pondering all sorts of crazy existential issues about life, parenting, happiness, society, etc. For those of you that know me the best, you will not think this is out of the ordinary at all, in fact I probably appear to live in that la la land of thought...but that is beside the point.

One of the things I have become fascinated with is the way we see the world. It is a choice...
For we all chose to see it from different angles, shades, tones, and attitudes. What then goes hand in hand is how we see ourselves, and how we then see ourselves in the world around us, how we fit into that world and how we are seen by that surrounding world.

Here is how I have been seeing the world as of late...

And here is how that world sees me...perhaps a different perspective but the same shade of happiness.
