Living Life in a Bubble
Have you ever found yourself on social media comparing your life to everyone else's life? There's that friend who married their high school sweetheart with three kids, the party goer who's always at every social event. Then there are those people who never left their hometown who never really post a whole lot. But my favourite to follow is that friend who is travelling the world, living life to the fullest, taking every opportunity that comes their way.

Vague Background Story
I like to believe that everything in life happens for a reason. I grew up in somewhat of a religious household, so believing there was a bigger being with a plan was part of life. However, that's not exactly how I see it. I think that every action has a reaction, as in, what goes around comes around. Whether it was in a past life or current life, it will all come back. I'm not extremely religious, but then again most Millennials aren't. I believe that karma is most definitely a bitch, and she will most definitely get you back.

The Houses of the Zodiac: House #3
Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth. At the time when you were born, every planet and star and thing up there in the universe was in a specific place. Doesn't seem like it matters, but it absolutely does. Your birth chart displays where all those planets and stuff were, and this contributes to the magic that is your personality.

Perfection
She stands at 5'5". She has a 26-inch waist. She's a brunette. Her eyes are blue, which compliment her fair skin and soft facial structure. She often makes you laugh, as she has a great sense of humor. She sounds pretty hot, right? According to some super scientific surveys I found on the internet (following) the ideal eye color, hair color, skin color, personality trait, and body type, the woman I just described is our society's perfect Franken-Chica (society's perfect man is over 6'0" with all the same ideal characteristics as a perfect woman, for those of you I left wondering).

A Little Ramble
I used to write every day on an old laptop that was my equivalent of a diary. Every time things seemed too big or too complicated for my frazzled teenage brain to deal with, I would write poems or letters or lyrics. Then later I would go back, read it through and feel exactly how I felt in that moment and understand myself and my emotions just a tiny but more than I did before. I went through a lot when I was younger and chose to deal with most of it through intoxication and creativity and I think after a while, the two became intertwined and I stopped being able to do one without the other. So, as I started spending more of my time sober and as I got older, writing became harder. Reading back what I had written before made me feel too much or scared because I felt nothing at all. Maybe it’s because being an angsty teenager you choose to embrace all the things you’re feeling and when bad things happen, or you react badly to things, it's ok because it's "hormones" and not mental health problems. Or I think that in some ways, drugs and alcohol made me more open with myself about how I was feeling and without them, I couldn’t reach that place that had always been so important to me.

Great Feelings
Cat’s great feelings: Driving down a road in the fall, when all the leaves are turning colours, and the road is lined as far as you can see with these colourful tree’s And the already fallen leaves are casually blowing across the road. Watching the way the sun shines through glass. With a slight dust floating through the sun beams, during golden hour. Riding bikes during the golden hour, in the spring, while a great album plays from your phone, and being slightly or a lot stoned. Relaxing in your freshly cleaned house, with acoustic music playing softly, and all the candles that you own burning. The first sip of your favourite beverage. Mine is red Red Bull. Instant happiness. Smoking out of a nicely cleaned or brand new bong or pipe. When it's winter and all the trees are completely white with frost, even if its cold it’s still absolutely beautiful. MOUNTAINS. Driving around looking at Christmas lights during the week of Christmas, with hot chocolate. City lights at night. The smell of pine tree’s. Drinking coffee and writing poetry Finding your comfortable place in your bed, and just feeling completely warm and at peace. Rolling the perfect joint or blunt, and impressing everyone including yourself. The first time drinking eggnog for the season.(Thanksgiving can’t come soon enough) The first warm day after a cold, long winter. Seeing your first flower of spring blossoming in your garden. Laying in a hammock on a warm summer day, just zoned out watching how the sun finds its way through the think leaves. Golden hour in general, the way it makes the whole world look like its being filtered like on my phone. Bonus greatness if you’re wearing sunglasses during it. Doing something to improve a strangers day, be it a smile, extra parking minutes, anything to make them feel good.
