Happiness isn't something that can be found externally; it's a skill that we can cultivate and nurture from within. We often look for happiness outside of ourselves—through material possessions, achievements, or the approval of others—but true happiness is rooted in our own actions, mindset, and how we engage with the world around us. If you're wondering how to create your own happiness, here are several steps to help you take control of your well-being.

The Silence Was Too Loud . AI-Generated.
Introduction Have you ever sat in complete silence, only to find that it felt deafening? The absence of sound can sometimes feel overwhelming, as though it carries a weight of its own. While silence can be peaceful and restorative, it can also amplify thoughts, emotions, and uncertainties, making it feel louder than any noise. This paradox of silence is a powerful reminder of the complexities within our inner world. Let's explore the meaning behind this sensation and how we can embrace the loudness of silence.

Living Autistically. Content Warning.
One day at work, my coworkers and I were conversing when I haphazardly picked up an item and started to fiddle with it. It was an old single-hole hole punch. As I was squeezing it, a part of me imagined if one had ever been used to pierce ears before. While thinking that, one of my coworkers noticed what I was doing and said, “Stimming?”. I looked at her and then it hit me: I was subconsciously stimming, and I consciously couldn't think of a reason why. I know the motion of squeezing the hole punch felt natural, but to pinpoint an emotion or an event that led to my overstimulation, I haven’t a clue. I have noticed I’ve been overstimulated these past few days. I did have a moment where I just had to cry. I think I’m grieving for the future I had hoped for and will likely never come to fruition (unless I'm wrong, which I hope I am). I had so many plans, hopes, and dreams and yet, the entire world seems hellbent on destruction.
