"JUST DO ITTT" -Shia Labeouf

THIS WEEK WAS A GOOD WEEK AND HERE IS WHY.

Being happy is such a simple simple thing to do. We think it takes a ton of money and effort and friends but it doesn't. Also, people think happiness comes from the good things that happen to them, but that's not true either. 

My week in a nutshell:

1. I went snowboarding. 
2. I got in a car crash. 
3. I quit one of my jobs. 
4. I worked overtime. 

Pretty average, if not shitty week, don't you think? Now let's put these events into my perspective...

1. I went snowboarding-  People keep saying "aww you're so lucky..aww I'm so jealous..". WHY? Just fucking go if you wanna go. Borrow snow gear and take a day trip. The wonderful thing about life is that you dictate everything you get to do. So stop waiting around for tomorrow. 

2. I got in a car crash- yep, my first crash. There's nothing great about a car crash except--that I'm ALIIIVE!?? I felt quite lucky that my first crash was a minor one, and that everyone was left unharmed. Appreciated life more that day. 

3. I quit one of my jobs- I quit my stupid, high stress, minimum wage job. Of course, being happy doesn't mean you should be IRRESPONSIBLE~ but I knew that I was unhappy there so I just quit like that. Being comfortable with a dead-end job is your enemy... don't fall for that trap. If you are even SLIGHTLY dissatisfied with your job, start listing things that you love and find a way to create your dream job.  I'm on my way~ 

4. I worked overtime- okay, this contradicts the last point...BUT it was a good day. As a student, financial responsibility is important, but shouldn't determine your happiness. One way I'm being responsible but happy is by working doing something that both pays the bills and sparks my interest. Don't burn yourself out, but be smart! For the last month I've been saving my money for events, delicious food, and travel..instead of buying mindless crap like junk food, Starbucks frappes, candles, or clothes. 

Most of us feel happy when good things happen to us. But let's be honest..the universe never fucking works that way. You might get in a car crash, or hate your job, or end up in an abusive relationship. You can always climb out of that ditch. Don't be afraid to quit your job or buy a plane ticket to a foreign country. Stay responsible but remember to LIVE!! Once you start to realize that you have the power to be happy...everything will change. People will take notice and follow, and you'll be beaming with life. The dream job will fall in place because you're now in control. Be happy y'all :) god bless~

Self Discovery- Japan (1.5 Months)

It is now February 25th, just a little over one month here in Japan and my life has drastically changed! It’s hard to put into words how life has been…I don’t think I will ever fully adjust to life here, but things have drastically improved since I got here. Life is no less crazy than when I first got here….I am just learning how to deal with stress and cultural differences better. I have pretty much had a boyfriend since I was 15 years old, so I think the most difficult transition was learning to be completely alone, something that is totally new to me. My first month here was complete chaos, but I have managed to turn that chaos into productivity and creativity in the last few weeks. Meditation has become extremely important to me… I think my first month here has really given me anxiety, but by meditating just 5 minutes every day… I feel like I can handle any stressful situation now. Traveling without a friend, boyfriend, or family member forces you to sit with being alone and I’m ...

In a perfect world..

Alright. So I've never been hit harder than today. How quickly life is passing by. How I'm going to college in just a few months. It's not really distance or time that kills me the most..it's the change. I know so much is going to change. Heartbreaks. New friends. Adulthood. I'm prepared for the rigor of college..I'm not completely prepared for change. Four years will fly by..just like my high school years did. My advice for those younger than me: enjoy every single moment. I'm not exaggerating...don't take anyone or anything for granted. Understand that life is not perfect. It doesnt have to be perfect to live. It's so cliche, but life is so freakin short. Be happy with everything you have. Never hold grudges. Love everyone. Love all. I love you all..and I'm going to miss everyone so much. If you'll excuse me I'm just having an emotional moment hahaha! Peace out :)
