happiness
Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
Clarity
I'm grown now... All my life I believed being an adult was independence and the choice to be free. Being able to make your own decisions and living up to them because you made them whether they were good or bad. Now this is all true, but as I grow, I'm learning that I'm consistently growing and with that there's so much more to this thing we call the "adult life."

For the Universe
It’s scary sometimes, especially in the moments that you think, “hold on, why again?” Because it’s almost as if everything that you have ever worked for, ever dreamed of, it’s all momentarily covered in a cloud of doubt, a fog made from fear and panic and whatever else. It’s never quite an easy answer to the question: “But why are we here? What are we doing? What is the point of all this?”

How to Deal with Loneliness. Top Story - January 2018.
Let's be honest, humanity is a social species. We all thrive off each other, comedians tell us jokes, leaders protect us, and friends take care of us. Yet at times, maybe we feel like we don't have friends or maybe our friends are just not around. Maybe we can't find a date or something and that's okay. It's okay to be lonely. And I'm going to tell you how exactly you can be your own best friend.

Kill Your Inner Critic
The best New Year's Resolution any of us can make is to kill our inner critic. We hold ourselves back and sabotage our best intentions when we allow our thoughts to constantly criticize and belittle us. When I first heard about this idea, I thought to myself, "I don't do that!" Then, I started paying attention to my thoughts. WOW! That was an eye opener! I couldn't believe how awful I was to myself.

How to Make Peace with Your Inner Self
You would be surprised how undervalued routine is. How much calm and happiness meditation can bring into your life. How much you will look forward to being yourself every one of 1,440 minutes of the day if you put momentary emotions aside.

Float On
Just a few months ago I was driving in my truck with my boyfriend and said, “You know what? I really feel like I made it in life.” I had a full-time job doing what I love. I had a brand-new truck that I was paying for on my own without parental help. I had my own health insurance. I recently started traveling and had seen damn near almost all the United States. I saw all the major landmarks that were on my bucket list: the Grand Canyon, the Redwoods, Las Vegas, the Hoover Dam, Washington D.C., and basically all of New England. I started hiking and set goals for myself that I reached easily within a few short years. I hiked Mount Washington, I hiked in Zion, I hiked nearly every trail in my home state of Massachusetts. I hiked so much I ran out of places to go locally. I really felt like I had found my niche in life and that I really made it. Even if I was living paycheck to paycheck, I had enough to pay bills and still go out every weekend with friends for lunch, or travel up north to hike. I recently graduated community college with an Associate’s degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences. I transferred to a state school to complete a Bachelor's.

Perfectly Imperfect
I am perfectly imperfect. There may be perfect moments, perfect timing, perfect weather, and perfect outfits but a human being is not perfect. I don't think any being is perfect because we all make mistakes. We cry at simple moments whether they're happy, mad or sad tears. We are all our own person.

Do I Love and Accept Myself?
I love myself. I enjoy being me and my own company. I accept all that I have done and will do, good or bad. These are all very powerful sayings and many people repeat them incessantly. How many of us speak them, do you really believe them? I think that all humans will always battle against the sense of truly loving ourselves and accepting ourselves genuinely. All of us are called to enjoy being with ourselves, to love all of the parts of our lives. Do we truly believe it will be easy to accept oneself and not be seen as a prideful individual? Now as all things in life, we must be cautious on one hand and not so much on the other end.

I'd Say I'm Happy For You But Then I'd Be Lying
"Comparison is the thief of joy". I know this firsthand because I'm always jealous of someone and consequently I'm also always a bundle of bitterness. Out of all the good ones envy has got to be my go to vice. It's my favorite way to self-harm. I don't know why that is exactly. All I know is nothing puts me in a yuckier mood than seeing people's vacation and engagement posts. Now is this all the time? No, on rare occasion I am happy for my friends. But everyone else on my social media feeds are perfect strangers, so I can't be obliged to be happy for ALL of them ALL the time right??
