Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
Queen of Wonders
The grass. As green as the leaves around it, the world a dreamy fantasy. Footsteps in the mud splatter onto each delicate stem of colour. Leaves fall weightlessly to the ground as though a death in a dramatic Shakespearian tragedy. The world around you is like a mass of unorganised colour- splattered left, right and centre. It has gone from being a dull, grey, black and white world of rushing and stress to an avalanche of colour- greens, browns, blues and even pinks swarm around you. From the forest floor to the bluest skies your eyes are opened to the world of beauty you have been missing. Twigs snap on the floor. The streams, bright, clear and each trickling bead of water free and flowing more enthusiastically than the last.

Conflicted Xmas
I'm sitting here at the end of the day, Christmas day, and just thinking about it and how I really haven't cared for the holiday this year. Most years, I love Christmas, the build-up to the holiday and just everything else that surrounds this time of year. But this year I find myself not really caring much for it and now that the day is coming to a close I find myself wondering why I feel so lonely this year.

The Path to Lasting Happiness
Happiness is overrated. After all, the leading cause of unhappiness is the very pursuit of happiness itself! I mean, what is happiness anyway? Are you pursuing what society defines happiness is, or are you pursuing what it means to you?

Why I Woke Up Happy Today
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This will always be true even after you and I are long gone. It will never stop happening that way, unless some universal phenomenon occurs. Hopefully by then, we aren't around for that kind of chaos.

Reaching Satisfaction in Life
Have you ever felt like you can't seem to figure out just who you are or meant to be? Are you tired of everyone else telling you who to be instead of helping you discover your own self for certainty? Well I'll tell you this right now. List what you know about yourself. If you're wondering why, you're about to find out.

Being Happy
Picture this: you're lying in bed trying to sleep, but you're too stressed about all of your responsibilities to even begin to relax. Your mind starts to wander and you think about your life as it is right now. You ask yourself if you're doing well, if you're on a path to success, if you're really happy. Most of us have experienced this moment (or ones similar to it), but have any of us figured out the answer to those questions? No. But that's totally okay! We're not supposed to have our lives figured out yet. We're not supposed to be living perfect lives. Our only duty at this age is to be true to ourselves and do what makes us happy.

Who Are You
Who Are You? Is that a question that you have asked yourself? I have, and the answers are not always the ones that I want to hear. If you have asked this question and created an answer that best suits your taste then you are screwed. The way to answer the question is by being more than honest with yourself. It may hurt at first but it can help in the long run. Have you ever wondered why some people flourish and others do not? It is because they dig inside themselves before they attempt to do anything. Whether it is work, play, or just making friends, they have decided to be the best versions of themselves that they can be. Yeah, it is harsh to think you may not be the best version of who you can be. To do that, you have to go all the way back to when you were young and wide-eyed, when you decided who you were, what you wanted, and how you wanted to get it.

Be Happy, Be Humble
Forgiving someone who is not sorry is one of the strongest things a person can do. There is this quote "I never knew how strong I was until I had to forgive someone who was not sorry"—Unknown. I have not related to something so much in my life as I do this quote. I have been in a lot of smaller situations where forgiving someone who wasn't sorry was not that big of a deal, you know that "sorry" you get told and you can just hear the attitude and anger in it. You know that they are not truly sorry, but you take it with a grain of salt and just push it aside. Once they have officially hurt me more than words can express, I realized hanging on to the hurt and resentment was hurting me more than it was hurting them.

Life. Why?
Have you ever thought during your typical workday, or at home with your family, what is the meaning of all this? It's something I ponder frequently, and I'm certain I can't be the only one. As an eight year old, the loss of a close family friend really had me questioning the meaning of life. I recall driving down the road, seeing the hustle and bustle of everyone, and wondering why people would live the way we live, if at the end of it all, we are all buried in the same sized box and covered in six feet of dirt.
