Raconte-Moi Histoire

I was just laying in the bathtub, I know sexy mental shot!  I was laying there because that is what one does in the bath.  And I was having this thought, it has been a reoccurring thought of mine for many years, but in the last few months it has been resounding over and over again.
The thought goes like this:
Am I the best person I can be?
Am I doing all I should be doing to ensure I am a person with a good heart and clear mind?
What does being a good person mean?
Am I the person I want myself to be?

It just flows through my mind, I now it is a very subjective thing, but what are the qualities that make someone a good person?  if you have to ask does it mean you are not one?

Then I hear songs like the one below and it just makes sense, I need to strive for stories like this, all live need to be based around some little whimsy.  Chasing the frog is what it should be, and perhaps, if i believe it and strive for it, that is what will make me the person I hope I am!

i heard about this frog
it's a very tiny frog
but it's also very special
you can only find it in the jungle
so far away from me
but if you find it and if you touch it
your world can change forever

if you touch its skin
you can feel your body changing
and your vision also
and blue becomes red and red becomes blue
and your mommy suddenly becomes your daddy
and everything looks like a giant cupcake

and you keep laughing and laughing and laughing
nothing is ever quite the same really
and after you finish laughing
it's time to turn into a frog yourself
it's very funny to be a frog
you can dive into the water
and cross the rivers and the oceans
and you can jump all the time and everywhere
do you want to play with me?

we can be a whole group of friends
a whole group of frogs
jumping into the streets
jumping into the planet
climbing up the buildings
swimming in the lakes and in the bathtubs
we would be hundreds, thousands, millions
the biggest group of friends the world has ever seen
jumping and laughing forever
it would be great, right?
