Yuma's skating to me is just a champagne bubble of happiness. Just bubbly and perky and oh so perfect and crisp and clean.

(on Japanese skater Yuma Kagiyama)

I miss the ice. I miss being totally alone with my music. I miss flying through the air. I miss the cold. I know this will all end. Stay positive and focus on the things that make you happy.

You want grandma to be happy when she's into her third whiskey and those shoes are off.

[T]he sun. It's almost like God is trying to say, "You're going to be happy right now," and I'm like, "Eff you, I don't want to be happy right now." So then it's just this constant fight between me and Jesus and the weather.

Just had the most awkward nostalgia cry in the car to the airport. Happy cry though. Like a civilized person, I usually cry in the shower.

Post Carnaval, hotel lobby. Exhausted, moistened and happy. Why wear pants? Oyasuminasai!

Another Johnny quote that to fully appreciate, needs the photo:

Blogger's note: Oyasuminasai is Japanese for "good night."

A great joy in my life is that my father finds it safest to call any garment I put on my body, really ANY garment, a smock. Tuxedo? Smock.

First fragrance:

Obsession by Calvin Klein. I wore it because it was different from what the other kids were wearing and felt very rich for a dude of 13. It was far too masculine for me but I felt happy to smell nice.

For 2015, I dare you to keep your chin up and be beamingly happy no matter what comes your way or evils needing to be removed, BE HAPPY!

Happiness lies in us, in you, in me. Find it, even under the tears.

I love those days when I'm really happy that I'm strange. Own your crazy crazies!
--Twitter, April 27, 2014

Let the mayhem of Monday commence. Today's goals are to work out hard, learn to fly and find some happy!
--Twitter, April 21, 2014

It just got too hard, honestly. I had the option of choosing a happy life or to be alone for more time and completely alienate everybody and all of my friends and family once again, to diet like crazy, to get yelled at every day. It is all worth it, but there comes a time in your life when you have to decide what's next.

I wish for everyone in this world to have even one moment of finding their bliss and chasing after it at all costs and I pray that you are lucky enough to even have two of those moments, because they are fleeting and sometimes unappreciated.

Negativity and stress stray us from our paths. They cause us physical and emotional pain. To find that one outlet of security is true bliss.

[When are you happiest?]

When I’m surrounded by people I love and we celebrate nothing more than being alive.

I love how falling in love with a random suitcase can totally flip my mood into obscene happiness.

Be free, be happy, be lovely, be strong--and sparkle.

[What is your favorite way to travel?]

I hate airplanes! I hate buses! I hate trains! I love my car. If I could travel by car every time I would be a much happier person. Aside from competing and touring, I am always in my car, it keeps me sane and I can sing as loud as I want without offending anyone.

Being gay makes me very happy and quite fabulous, and I've always understood that. But in no way would I ever let that define me.
