happiness
Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
Finding peace in chaos.
It was the feel of the pedal under my foot. The control of the process. I have personally washed, pressed, measured, cut and pinned every inch of the fabric. While the world may be loud, chaotic, and unpredictable, in my workshop, I am in control. From picking the project, to laying out the perfect fabric, to running each stitch through the machine, I have the power to create something that never existed, and that takes me from the chaos of the world to the peace of creation.

6 steps to a positive body image
A positive body image is one that we should all strive for. This is when you know yourself and who you are. You have a very true perception of your size, shape, and weight. You see yourself as you are in the present. You accept yourself, even though you may be overweight. You believe in yourself and love yourself while still striving for something better. When you have a positive body image, no time is spent obsessing about food, weight, calories, exercise, etc. You are proud of who you are and feel comfortable in your own body.

4 Hacks that Helped Me Break My Bad Habits
We all have habits we wish we could do away with, but change can be challenging. Laying out my clothes ready for work the night before is a good habit. However, spending too much of my budget on unnecessary items, indulging in unhealthy eating, staring at my social media home feed, snoozing that alarm several times before waking up, and biting my nails are some of the bad behaviors that I have been wanting to part with.

My Dream
When I think about my future I think only of where I'm going next. Paris, France? Amsterdam, The Netherlands? Or maybe somewhere closer to home such as New Zealand. Traveling the world is all I've ever considered doing. Full-time job? No thanks. Settled down with a family? Seems a bit too stable.

Isis
Shit scary out here. Feeling really lonely out here. People are so fake and so robotic nowadays. They probably were always that way. Maybe I just wasn’t aware of it in the beginning. More and more everyday I ask myself am I even real? Where did I come from? Was I always in existence and just reborn into another being. I saw something that said the death of a star looks exactly like a baby cell. Am I a star? And If I am, how big am I? Do I shine brighter than the rest? Does my shine dim when I get around others? So many things that I am curious about. I wonder what it feels like to be in love. I wonder would I ever feel that? Have I already felt it and it isn’t how I imagine it to be? I don’t know. I feel like this life thing gets weirder and weirder as I go on. I wonder if death is even a thing. Because before we were born were we dead? Or were we just in a completely different dimension? Sometimes I feel like it is just me on this planet and maybe I'm just insane imagining things.

5 Habits Confident People Practice
At some point in life, we experienced a lack of confidence. As a result, we failed or had a negative experience that may even have affected our esteem. That moment you were unable to ask a lady out for a date, the confidence you didn’t have to apply for that job or fearing to start that business are some examples.

The Power of Paper and Imagination
When I need a place to escape, I re-find my inner peace on a piece of paper. For as long as I can remember drawing and writing have always been my safe place. A place I could lose myself from everything, whether it be rejection, sadness, anger, or even happiness. With a piece of paper in front of me, I am free to express myself and my emotions to my fullest extent. I remember my love of drawing going back early into my childhood. As I matured into a preteen and teenager I got into writing, mostly poems and song lyrics. I expanded my writing into short stories and played around with several book ideas after school, however, never got around to writing.

Angelina
The most wonderful woman in the world I’ve ever met is my beloved Angelina. Her eyes find a way of locking me into a deep gaze where I can just stare at them, without even realizing it. Her smile is so cute, with dimples on each side. She has a giggle that makes me smile every single time. I could go on for hours talking about how she makes me laugh, how much of a better man she makes me, and how amazing she has been in my life. She is the love of my life, and I strive to make her happy in any way I can. If you haven’t found this kind of love, I sincerely hope you do, it’s worth every second of your life.

piece of cake
You could easily say my life has been more than like a box of chocolates, as Forrest would have stated. To my knowledge life was hard and that’s just that. You work to survive and your head stays down until payday. I did this for 11 years until I met Her. I met an angel who loved sweets and smoked cigarettes just like my old man. Her name was Julie.

Everyone In The World Needs To Read This.
Why is it that nowadays, people seem to focus on what they can do to improve their immediate well being, regardless of the consequences. Sadly, a majority of the world is greedy, inconsiderate, unable to even care about what can happen to someone else if I do this? Or what might this cause to that person's life by me doing this. The last time you went out to get fast food and decided to be angry towards them for your food taking longer than expected, or when you went to the grocery store and feel the need to be rude to the cashier because you waited in line so long, in your head you probably feel you're entitled to that negative conclusion.
