happiness
Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
My Story Part 1
There are plenty of different career paths that you could follow. Adults start asking their children pretty young what they want to be when they grow up. What did you say when asked that? Many kids will say ‘princess’, ‘famous’, ‘a singer’, or any list of careers they know. I said that I wanted to be a teacher the first time I was ever asked this question. Since then, my answer had changed to wanting to be a famous singer or dancer as well as wanting to be a lawyer, police officer, and marine biologist. The want to be a teacher has always stuck with me, though.

Things that inspire you that have nothing to do with printed words
One of the most inspiring things you can do is take a long trip. The combination of fresh air, light, solitude, and work can create all sorts of wild ideas and thoughts. Inspiration from the words of your favorite writers can bloom as you leave the house or on your morning walk.

Timelines
Ever since I was a kid I have had a vision for my future. I had a timeline, I had a plan. I had everything planned out. I would graduate from the same high school as my brothers with an associates degree, I would get a bachelors in teaching, then a masters. I would get married by 25, have my first kid shortly after, and have my second before I was thirty, life would be perfect.

Is Happiness a Choice or a Feeling?
What is happiness? Is it spending time with our loved ones or running against the wind? Is it the sparkle in our eyes when we catch our reflection in a mirror or the smile on our mother’s face as she watches our dreams come true?

Death Is Inevitable - Despair Is Not
Forget all else, Lucilius, and concentrate your thoughts on this one thing: not to fear the name of death. Through long reflection make death one of your close acquaintances, so that, if the situation arises, you are able even to go out and meet it - Seneca, Letters From a Stoic

Impossible Dream
I have loved for many years what I saw as an impossible dream. I loved helping people, so I thought I should work in the medical field. I spent 15 years helping people on various levels in the health system. That career offered benefits, bonuses, growth, knowledge, and validation for my degree in Health Administration. I met great people along the way. I saw tragedies in the young and old communities. I asked myself many days if this is the way I wanted to serve. Getting and extra blanket because a patient was cold. Serving families lunch and dinner while they wait for their loved ones to come out of a 6 or 12-hour surgeries. Helping a patient understand their insurance policy so that they can choose the best treatment plan. Informing a patient that they can be put on a payment plan to pay for their heart procedure. Explaining why the patient was approved or denied for complex treatments for their child. This was all fulfilling a service in its timeframe, but I still loved my impossible dream.

Alone
It feels bad to be alone. Not the "alone" where all you wanna do is sit in your room and watch Netflix and eat an entire bag of chips or the burrito that you have been craving for the past week and a half, that kind of alone feels good—where you can feel ugly and not care because you are alone to indulge in being gross and burp and laugh at those stupid jokes that no one really understands why you're laughing but you laugh at it anyway because you don't have to explain to anyone. That alone is good and people need that "alone" time to decompress from outside stresses.
