Happiness


What does happiness mean to me?

Sometimes something so simple as being happy can be the most difficult thing to do.

It's so easy to smile and pretend to be happy. However, on the inside the mind tells a different story.

I'm a bit of an over thinker especially in social situations because I'm worried I'm going to say or do the wrong thing which could have a bad impact on the situation. I'm a bit of a worrier too because I'm worried about a lot of things and that people will judge me.

Yet I don't know why things like this should bother me. At the end of the day we're all human and everyone makes mistakes. We all have good days and bad days. Sometimes it's one of those days. So who really cares?

Back to the topic at hand. Happiness. I could sit here and write a list of things to make you happy but I would be wrong. We all experience happiness in our own little ways. Whether it's the little things of the big things. We all have things that make us happy.

So I'm gonna tell you five random things that make me happy.

1. Pasta

 I love eating pasta. Noodles, macaroni cheese, spaghetti bolognese. Whatever pasta it is I love it. It just makes me feel good. I know it's not healthy but pasta is definitely my comfort food. It makes me happy.

2. Reading a good book

 Many may relate to this but reading a good book is a really great feeling. Just escaping reality and entered a whole new world just makes me happy. Curling up on my bed and just reading for hours is so relaxing. Words can't describe how it feels but it makes me so happy.

3. Spending time with my mum

 I love my um so moments with her feel so nice. We both watch Coronation Street so I enjoy those evenings spend getting lost in a soap opera. It feels nice.. Also I would never say no to a hug from my mum. She's been there for me since day 1. She was there through my primary and secondary school to my university years. I know I could tell her anything and I'm so lucky to have her. I love my mum and she makes me happy.

4. Listening to music

 Sometimes lyrics speak louder than words. There's a son for every mood. Happiness. Sadness. Heartbreak. Motivation. There's a lot of playlists online for any mood. Personally I prefer to make my own playlists because I'm very particular about the songs I listen to. I have a playlist filled with over 500 songs on it and a lot of them are songs I love. It just feels so good to shuffle through songs I love. Plus imagining being in a music video or performing in a concert is always fun when you're listening to music. It definitely makes me happy.

5. Alone Time

 I'm an introvert so I enjoy having some alone time. I can also be socially awkward at times but depending on the situation I can also be social but most of time I do need my alone time or I'll go crazy. Being alone isn't sad. You can actually enjoy yourself when you're alone. I'm currently sitting in Starbucks alone, drinking a caramel macchiato while listening to an audiobook. It feels good right now so yeah I like my alone time.

Anyway, that's all my thoughts on happiness. I hope you enjoyed this post and that it was helpful to some of you. Let me know what makes you happy.

I'll be back again tomorrow with another post.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

Image
The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
