Something about
@OmarRudberg
’s newest song, ‘Happier,’ feels like it can only be listened to while running full speed across a beach - warm wind and sea salt rolling past you. If you don’t feel like running, just imagine. You’ll love it.
''It’s so easy to fall into a rut when we’re not working or when we don’t have something that we love to do. It could be as simple as a hobby. But when we don’t have something that brings us joy like that, then we’re truly unhappy. ''.
