2024-11-20 “What Happy Is Like” by Emma (born 2002)

I took a li’le break and am in the dressing room changin’ to a different costume dress, an’ I wanted to make a quick story. This about jus’ me and Merritt and right now.


I hardly have even talked about what happened Saturday! I guess ‘cause o’ what happened on Sunday and most o’ Monday where me and Merritt got all confused and lethargic.

Well, I want to tell you that Saturday when the show ended and Merritt was there with the doll like he bought me when I kissed his chin back in July my whole heart sort of melted down into my stomach like a perfect sip o’ coffee when it’s just right hot. I guess I let myself be with Devon on account of him being so nice and me thinking Merritt and Hannah were together for permanent.

Well, Saturday night ever’thing just come on me out of the sudden, and there he was and there I was feeling like I ain’t never felt before. I guess if you’ve been there, you know. I now know why they say “falling” in love.

Everything about how I thought just all transformed at once. I was overcome, and it was the happiest feeling. Since that moment, I’ve felt a kind of happiness I never even knew was possible.

You might think I’m running ahead of things and making more of it that is really there. I don’t think I am. And Merritt says the same.

I asked him if he was still sure about us and he said, “Yes, I am. This is what happiness is like.”

We been through a lot since July. But we been through it together. We might o’ made it by ourselves, but it sure is better with each other.
