happiness
Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
Never Give Up
Everything in life, I feel, is truly meant to happen. And everything always comes full circle. The things we expected to receive from our dreams is never ever what we get in reality and that there is when You're really tested to see where your heart and mind really stand. The older we get, the more we experience, whether it be good or bad, it is still going to happen and that there is when Your character will be tested as well; and see how strong you really are from those experiences.

Unpopular Opinion: Not Having a Passion is OK
Have you found your passion in life? No? NO? Follow you passion! Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life! Guess what? You probably won’t find your passion. Chances are, you might not even have the world’s definition of a “passion”.

Disrupted Dialogue
Should I even be sorry? I don't know. Let alone, I don't know who I am. Been told to sit down and shut up, be seen and not heard, and no one cares about what you have to say. Withheld my thoughts and feelings for far too long. No one ever would expect me to stand up for myself.

A Perspective on Life
There is patience and consistence in temperance, kindness and empathy in ubiquitous understanding, as well as strength and stability in modesty. I have understood the difference between achieving knowledge and achieving wisdom, and from what I have learned I have decided that I am neither wise nor knowledgeable.

Hope
Hope has always been a concept that has intrigued me. I never understood why I had it but still something I believed I needed growing up. Things were extremely difficult and even harder to handle at such a young age but I kept doing. I kept pushing through.

Collective Dreaming
It's time to wake from our individual nightmares and begin dreaming as a collective. The more we strive for growth and unity, the more balance we will find in our lives and surroundings. Be love, resonate at the strongest frequency in the universe, and if you don't know how, fake it until you make it because deep down you will find something you love to connect with and open your heart. Once you let your heart lead, your mind will listen to your heart and not the other way around. When the mind takes charge it wants us to fail and suffer. Why do you think chaos reigns on Earth? We are constantly at war with our thoughts and projecting our fears onto one another. With a loving motivation we live in joy, understanding, and evolution. The time to choose love is and always has been NOW. Live in the present and breathe love in and out, through every cell in your body. Even if you only find five minutes a day to do this, you will start seeing results immediately. We are beings of love—it is natural for us to care, be selfless and want to share warmth. Next time you are faced with a dilemma or fork in the road, consider the collective of humanity and the collective pieces of yourself. You are multiple levels of being striving for equilibrium. Do what you can to be the best you possible. On the roads, be forgiving and find a peaceful frequency where you are not subject to other's behaviors. On the street, say A-LO-HA and wish beauty unto yourself and everyone and thing around you. This is a gateway mantra to achieving absolutely anything your heart desires. When you are frustrated in your job, find the things you are most interested in and let your heart guide the way. If it leads you out the door into another vocation, be thankful for all you have learned and for the courage to move on. Life is a gift. We must be precocious and respect its magic by following our dreams.

How to Be Perfectly Unhappy
Hope Even in the Darkest Places I know we all strive to be happy. People always ask each other, "Are you happy?" Most people I think just resort to saying yes. Why? Why do you think people just say yes? Well it's the normal thing to say but in reality they are not. Happiness should not be a concept we try to strive for, we should strive for that job, or strive to do good in a day, or strive to be content. If you're only happy on Wednesday and not any of the other days of the week, were you really happy at all? People say they are happy because the world made not being happy to be such a sad thing. You think I am happy? Hell no! Do I have good days and bad? I sure do! I just feel like if I constantly strive for something that I cannot reach all the time what's the point? It's like trying to reach the stars, it's a beautiful thing to look at but if we had it than it would burn us, it would be too good to be true. I love so many things I do and I also hate so many things I do but that is enough. I am never going to tell people I just want to be happy because I do not even know what that means, do you? It is just a word. It is okay to be perfectly unhappy, it is okay to say you're only ok. It is not okay to say you are happy but then the next day you cry the entire day. Strive to be content and the rest will follow:) I just think life is too short to just fail yourself. In life I do things I enjoy like voice acting, or working on my Youtube channel, or music. See those are things I always hold close to my heart but it does not mean they will give me the happiness I deserve. I think the reason for that is that as humans we will always want more and I think it was meant to be that way so that we may keep moving forward. I think if we were all just satisfied than we would basically just be in heaven. I challenge you to fly past the norm of being happy, I challenge you to ask yourself what would make me content today? What could I change in my life today, be it small or huge, that could change my life just a bit. Can I be kinder to people? Can I enjoy what I do a bit better? Should I change what I am doing because I mean if you're saying you want to be happy, but you're sticking to a job you hate, then you're sort of at a dead-end. Look at the mirror and ask am I the true self of who I want to be when I look in this mirror? We each have a path, some harder, some easier but that does not mean they cannot all lead to a beautiful and crazy and content life! I wrote this because I needed to make sense of this for myself too. I only now realized what will bring me enjoyment in this life, and thriving for that, as hard as it is may be sometimes, is some of the greatest joy I am experiencing. I thrive to do good in the world, to the best of my ability and to be grateful for all I have, even the small, dying car I have. Think now about what you really want and think hard and from here on make every day a step forward in achieving that thing and go live a life of peace and happy, just kidding, just go live.

Be Better, Not Bitter
We all go through pain and heartache in life. Hardships shape us whether we like it or not. It is up to us to define how it shapes us. Do we become bitter from our circumstances? Do we grow from the pain and allow it to make us better? There is a choice.

It's Okay to Not Be Okay
By now you probably already know that life does not always go the way you intend it to. Whether you didn’t get that awesome job you interviewed for, you got a flat tire on the way to take that test you are already late to, or maybe you had to sit in front of the bathtub and pick lice out of your daughter's hair for the third time this month. Life has its own way of bringing you down. Being in situations such as these can definitely put you in your feelings and cause you to be anxious.

The Zen of Motherhood
When I had my first child, I think like all first time moms, I always thought that I was on the brink of ruining my child forever with my horrible parenting skills. I wanted so badly to be able to waltz through motherhood as gracefully as all those TV moms did. I wanted to be put together and all yoga-ed out with my iced coffee, watching with simple joy as my perfectly clean and well-managed children play happily nearby.
