1. My bed - Knowing that i am blessed enough to have a bed to climb into at the end of the day is a very comforting thought. Sometimes it gets me through the day.
2. Photography - I know i have found my passion and my love and what i want to do in this life. I have to know and believe that. I just wish i could stop doubting myself and my abilities. It would make me really happy to have undeniable confidence in myself and my talent.
3. My friends - I am so happy that i have amazing friends that i know i can turn to for anything.
4. Stories - Whether they are in TV form, movie form, or book form, stories make me very happy. The thought that someone was able to think that far outside of themselves in order to create a completely different world and new, yet relatable, characters is amazing. The thought of possibly being able to write a script of some sort one day makes me happy.
5. My cats - They are soft and sweet and lovable, and i love to cuddle wif thems.
6. Red lipstick - This makes me happy because it makes me feel pretty and confident, even when i do not really feel that way. It is sometimes able to mask my insecurities and give me the boost of confidence that i need for the day.
7. Daydreaming - I am a dreamer. I like to dream big and aim big, even when my physical self does not always do what needs to be done in order to achieve said dreams. I like to think of big ideas and ways that they could possibly happen. It would make me even happier if i could actually find a way to accomplish some of those dreams, and stop thinking they are so far out of reach that they are unattainable. It's not always true.
8. Memories - I am such a nostalgic person and memories are such a big love for me. I frequently catch myself thinking about random times in my life, not all of them necessarily happy, but they are a part of my life nonetheless. Everything i have been through as gotten me to where i am today. Thinking about times with friends, and my family, and how some things used to be makes me wish some things were still the same and that i was still in those moments. I think that is the downside of be so nostalgic though, you are constantly yearning for the past instead of being excited for the future...
9. Personal items - This kind of goes back to memories and stories combined. I love collecting little trinkets and papers and items that remind me of a certain day or event. And i love hearing about other people's items and the stories that go with them. Little things in life like that are very special to me.
10. God - Save the best for last. I don't always acknowledge Him in my life, or spend time with Him. Like anyone else in the world, i get very distracted by all the mess that i have to do and keep up with in life and throughout each day. But when i have a moment to think about it, or rather when i take a moment to think about it, I cant even describe how happy God makes me. We would have nothing without Him and we would be nothing. My talent is from God, my family, my friends, and my entire way of life comes from Him, and i want to take the time to appreciate that. I have everlasting life thanks to His sacrifices and nothing i ever do or say could amount to anything in comparison. I hope that going forward i can really dive into His word more, pray more, acknowledge Him more in my everyday life and everyday situations. Then and ONLY then will i ever be TRULY happy. :)

Awww! Yay! Look at us having passions and junk. Yay art!
ReplyDeleteRed lipstick also makes me happy until a student asks why I have so much makeup on. I'm also a daydreamer. Big time. If people got paid for daydreaming, I'd be a bajillionaire. And that's not even a number.
