Things That Make Me Happy

   In the wake of Valentine’s Day and being single…, it can be a bit discouraging. Instead of wallowing in loneliness look on the bright side, and accept the fact that it is completely FINE that you are single. You honestly don’t need someone else to be happy and fulfilled.
In fact, no one can or should complete you.

Look at everything you already have and what makes you happy.
 

I did just that, and compiled a list of some of the things that make me truly happy, from the silly to the serious. Let’s begin…

•  Flower gardens
•  Random acts of kindness
•  People who genuinely care about you
• When a dog runs to greet you

-When I come home from school and my dog scampers across the kitchen floor with her tail wagging to see me, my heart pretty much explodes. Just look at that face….

 

•  Star gazing

•  Meaningful conversations

-Also meaningful conversations while star gazing….the best.

•  Spring rain
• Candy
•  Sun showers

-AKA Pure magic. 

•  Anything and everything Jane Austen related

• Old houses

-Preferably Victorian with a carriage house, because you need that carriage house dang it.

• Antique shops

-So much history. So many stories. So many knick-knacks.  

•  Dressing up just because

-Who needs a reason? 

•  Considerate people

-There is nothing quite like someone who respects you.

•  Spending time with friends
•  Meeting new people
•  Rainy days
•  Reading a good book

-Preferably with tea or any warm beverage on hand… and it’s raining. HEAVEN.

• Knee high socks

-To be worn while simultaneously reading a good book. All the while, pretending you are in a Free People ad.

•  Going for walks with my dog

-Clears the mind and it makes her oh so happy,  and she gets to see her doggy friends!

• Doggy friendships.

-THERE IS NOTHING CUTER THAN DOG FRIENDSHIPS. I repeat NOTHING.

•  Wearing red lipstick

-Such a classic and sometimes you have to rock your inner TSwift.

• Costume parties

-Dressing up and partying with friends, nothing better.

•  Hedgehogs, goats, dogs, cats, any animal really….

•  When your winged liner is on point.
•  Nature walks

• When your curls last all day
• Roses and Lilacs

• Sitting by the ocean

And Lastly

•  Blogging

-I never thought I'd enjoy blogging as much as I do. I love being able to write and share how I feel, and I hope you enjoy reading my posts.

What makes you happy?
