Prom

So when the last group in our happiness class was talking about prom. I really wanted to ask them about Balls. I have a friend how lived with me over last summer who is Russian and she sent me and my mother pictures of her going to this ball. I rose my hand but sadly they flew to the next topic. In Russia they have there prom seriously after graduation. Right after the last bell rings. I feel like this would be weird cause we just go home after our graduations and chill with family and friends. I recently went to my boyfriend’s last prom ever. It was soo fun. It was nice to be out of my college shoes and chill. No one knew I was from the college so it was nice not having to talk to a lot of people and I got to enjoy more time with Jon.

Christmas

I know it isn’t Christmas, but I had it on my happy list. Which reminded me of the last week of classes for happiness we had a group talk about traditions, holidays, and prom. One of the questions they asked us is “What holidays makes you the happiest.” I picked Christmas. I have never got a lot of presents so that isn’t why I like it. I like the food that my mom cooks. The thing I love though it when my brothers wake up to see what Santa left. They totally freak of they are seriously running up the walls. (I mean seriously my brother Gabe climbs up the walls with his arms and feet spread out.) When my parents can get them to calm down they are so freaking cute! I love how their faces look and how happy they look. It is quite contagious.  

My Happy List (SHORT)

Things That Make Me Happy

1. Shoes

2. My mom

3. My boyfriend

4. My friends

5. Coffee (Frappe)

6. Books

7. AMAZING movies

8. Singing in the shower

9. Spending time with my family

10. Christmas 

 

I didn’t want to put down the whole list, but these are just a few things that make me happy. They pick me up when I am in the dumps and make me feel better. I think that writing down the things that make you happy, you start to see that there are more and more things that make you happy soon if your like me you may or may not have a full page. We should be thankful for those things because without them we probably wouldn’t be as happy.

We are there to hold hands

We are there to cry upon

We are what you would call

The purpose of …

The purpose of our lives is to be happy. ~ Dalia Lama

I think that happiness is more a part of life then the purpose of life. I mean we can’t be happy all the time there are moments where we just want to stop everything. I think that living and experiencing things while you are happy is the purpose of life. Being able to live and create life. So that they can see the wonders that you have gone out to see. Being able to do that can make youi happy, but there is more to life than just being happy. 

You will never …

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. ~ Albert Camus

I don’t agree with this. I think that it you are willing to try and be happy and look for things that make you happy. You will be happy. I think that the adventure you go on will bring you a happy end. Because would all that searching be for nothing? I think that everything would be either good or bad. When you are on your death bed I highly doubt there are many people who say, I was never happy looking for happiness it was all just a scam. I think that if you are willing to be happy while looking for even more happiness you will be more happy. 

Howl’s Moving Castle

If anyone has ever seen Howl’s Moving Castle you should know that it is one of the greatest movies ever made. It has mystery, romance, fantasy and all those other good things that make us love movies. What I love about this movie is that everyone grows. Sophie is one of the main characters in this movie. To others and herself she is just a plain girl who doesn’t look like her mother and her sister. Really she doesn’t. She gets a curse on her by the evil witch of the waste and it makes her old. To her she looks like how she feels and sees herself. Through out the movie she opens up. She does what she wants to do not what others want her to do and she ends up falling in love with howl. I am not gonna give away the end of the movie but see for yourself it makes me feel uber happy watching it. 

I watched it with my friends and we have ALL seen this movie and love it so it was great being able to spend time with them watching it. We talk about who we learned about it and what we thought about it when we were younger. I am not gonna lie I was super giggly because I had something in common to talk about with my friends. We have different personalities so it is sometimes hard for us to have things in common, but movies are what brings us closer together.

H.A.P.P.Y

H aving the courage to stand up for what you want and what you believe is right.

A sking for help even when you’re full of too much pride to do so.

P eacfully thinking about the things that matter to you the most.

P icking up the pieces of others or your broken heart and dreams, because giving up means nothing.

Y ou are you. Don’t change for other.

People Who Are Happy….

People who are not happy with themselves, can not possibly be happy with you. I agree but disagree when it comes to this. Why? Because I don’t have to be happy in order to make others happy and vice versa. I feel like this is super depressing, I mean there are times where I feel numb and where nothing make me feel happy or sad. I feel like I in a way can’t feel anything. You have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with others. You can’t change over night just because you met someone and they tell you to cheer up. It doesn’t work that way. My family has really bad depression problems so when I am unhappy I don’t really feel a lot. You are probably saying oh! you have to feel something. I will tell you what I feel…I feel like I can’t breath and like things are closing in on me and when they start to push away and I can breathe again they come back even hard making it so that I can’t feel anything.

Then again if you are willing to make others make you happy you may become happy. A lot of people say that you can’t try to be happy. You can you may or not succeed but you can try.

Mess ups

So I went to see my family over midterm break and we watched family feud and this made me laugh really hard. It is a video with all these funny answers that people have came up with. I have noticed many times that when I am talking I say the word wrong or I say it in the wrong order. I can’t help but laugh at myself because I am wondering how could I mess that up? It is apparently simple too. We learned for a few days about laughter so I hope this makes you laugh as much as it made me laugh.
