Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
Stones
“I’m telling you, it’s all in the motion.” She holds the stone in her hand and winds her arm back. Knees bent, eyes squinted, and focused on the water. Then, almost as graceful as it is forceful, she chucks the smooth, edgeless stone at the surface of the water and watches it skip.

The Search for Enlightenment
Searching for Enlightenment I have always believed that happiness is something to be found. That one day I will find someone or something that will make me think "Yeah, I'm finally happy." A sudden change in feelings where all the years of hurt disappear, and all you feel is joy. You can live the rest of your life in total tranquility.

A Series of Fortunate Events
I have always been one to look back in reflection of months and years past. This past year is no exception especially since it has shaped me into who I am at this very moment, typing on my laptop late at night. Like many people out there, I thought I had an idea of what I wanted out of life but like many others, I was still somewhat adrift, searching for some meaningful purpose in life and now that I have finally figured out a couple of paths I wish to continue on in life, I thought I'd share them.

Feel the Fear and Try to Do It Anyway
So three weeks since I first took the plunge, I am happy to report that I'm still going in and have only actually missed three mornings. It's become a ritual now and even though when I wake up, the prospect of a sea plunge isn't always instantly appealing, by the time I've walked through the fields, woken up, and warmed up, the sea dip halfway is now an essential part of the day.

Finding Your Happy Place
I once did an exercise in my performing arts class. It was a small class, only about twenty people. We were instructed to lay down on our backs, on any part of the stage we could find—separate from one another. We had to close our eyes, breathe deep, and focus on our minds.

I Love Myself. Here's 5 Reasons Why.
1. I get out of bed every day and face the world. Every day I wake up and I drag myself out of my fluffy haven. As much as I want to curl up into the sheets and forget the world is out there, I get up. I push past that urge to just not exist for the day. Though I may already know that there are unpleasant moments and unwanted encounters awaiting me, I walk towards them knowing that this is what I have to do. I tell myself that I am doing it for me. I don't do it for my boss, or my friends, or anyone else. At the core of it, I get up for me. And I'm so proud of myself for doing that. Because this world is harsh, rapid and unforgiving. And it's hard to face it all the time. So I'm proud I can, and I'm proud I do.

Brains vs. Beauty
So, today at work, I was talking to a co-worker about someone we both know, who isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box (if you know what I mean). On the other hand, though, I think she is quite beautiful, so we began to talk about that as well. This lead into him saying something that I hear people say all the time, and I never understood why it bothered me until now. "It just goes to show, you can't be pretty AND smart."

Alone
Being alone doesn't have to be a bad thing. Sometimes it can be quite peaceful. Sometimes it can be eye-opening and amazing. Being alone can ease the mind and bring you comfort. I didn't always look at being alone this way but then I realized that sometimes being alone is better.
