Dig a little bit deeper....

Alright so...this is my first blog post, I've been meaning to start this for a while now, but guess what? I am a huge procastinator!! It's cool though...well...here goes nothing...

This is a very demanding world that we live in, to say the least. Some of us attend school. Some of us work full time trying to make it on our own. Some of us have our own little ones to take care of. Some of us do all of the above. With so much going on, it seems difficult just to calm down and be happy right? Wrong.

I hear so many people complain about how, "I'm never happy" or "I'm never going to be happy" or "I just want to be happy".

Well ma'am (or sir), what do you define as happiness?

"Well i just want someone to love---"
Pump ya brakes homegirl (or boy)

Since when does the recipe for happiness HAVE to include love? Are you telling me that you need someone to love you to be happy? You can't be happy by yourself? You don't know how to make YOURSELF happy, so you are depending on someone else to do it for you? (Even I'm not that lazy...)

Now i hope i haven't stepped on too many toes this early in my rookie blog, (Hell...who is even reading this lol) but happiness comes from within, my friend.


Meaning YOU have to look inside of YOURself to find what makes YOU happy. Its that simple.
What makes you happy?

Do fluffy pancakes make you happy? Well by-golly go make you some fluffy pancakes.

Does driving high speeds on the highway make you happy? Well be my guest. Just be careful dammit!

You like danceing? Well turn on your radio and dance your ass off!!!!

We get so caught up in material things and more often the want or thought of need of love by someone else, that we forget what deep down REALLY makes us happy.

Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with love, love is a very beautiful thing, and something that i have experienced and hope to experience in the future, however, you have to love yourself first, in order to love someone else effectively.

Is that a bit off topic? My bad, my mind likes to wander sometimes...

But please...I'm begging you...do something for yourself every once and a while. Take what other people think and throw it out of the window. Throw caution to the wind!!!

Have a picnic.
Play a game.
Read a book
Soak in a bubble bath
Go to coldstone and make the icecream you like, you know the one...the Cheesecake icecream with the strawberries, m&m's and white chocolate chips *yum*

And when you finish, if you can't smile and say "Damn, that was fun.",
Then i guess you need to dig a little bit deeper...
