Mein Luftballon

I overslept the first class today. I came to the last class and then ate bread sticks with Yui before going to work.
A guy gave me a red balloon at the street. He asked why I was sad after I hugged him for the balloon. And he was talking about happiness and sadness in life. He tried to give me his number so I could call him if I needed an artist (for he was one, I assume), but I was running out of time and departed. Thus I continued my journey to the work, not stopping while he was calling for me.
Going to the metro with a balloon was a challenge. There are a lot of people and stuff that can pop the balloon. So I was extremely careful and held it with my both hands. But just imagine it - a girl with an insanely red balloon in her hands with "we wish you happiness" written on it.
Total: on my way to work I had one handshake, small talks with strangers about life and happiness and a lot of smiles.
First man jokingly imitated popping my balloon with his keys. I just had to smile at him. He asked why I had this 'happiness', and I shook my shoulders and said "Just life". That man shook my hand when he read what was written on the balloon and then he waved me from the station while I had another one to go.
The second encounter was a guy who said that he was quite happy to see the red balloon and me smiling on this gray and dull day. But he did not take my balloon while thanking me for I was ready to give him 'this big bright and happy thing'. And on that I said that it's the only way it could be and he answered that in life it sadly was not. I had to go out at the next station, so our talk was short but nice. He complimented my smile, I complimented his as well.
At the office I gave the balloon to the girl sitting behind me, she played with it for a while and returned it to me. So at the end of the day I had to go with it on the metro again. People were not that desperate for happiness, though. I even had a chance to sit and read.
So, when I came to the Uni again, I decided to see Yuri, because he suggested we ate together, while I was at work. I had to wait for him for a while, but then we went and ate at McD. I had a great time. And Yuri said that he needed an artist for the art on MTG cards and he also said that everything that happened in life was for something and I should never decline such offers of the destiny. So, as I promised that guy that I would find him if I needed an artist, I will try to do that.
I will introduce a new tag for my posts: happiness. It's quite significant, isn't it?
