I have a worrying problem. If there's a possibility that something might wrong, believe me, I have considered it. I am very good at weighing the pros and cons but, unfortunately for me, I usually end up having more cons on my list. I can be pretty negative. I won't lie about that. I love this picture of me because at that moment, I was so unapologetic about my happiness. I was just so glad to be where I was, doing what I was doing at that time. So this is what I'm going to do to try to get back to that girl more often. These are things that make me happy.
Baking - I surprised myself with this one, but I love to bake. I used to do it a lot with my grandma when I was younger, and she taught me all her secrets. That was awesome. This summer, I started baking again, and there's something really calming about it. I take so much pride in baking things that taste good (or don't taste so good) and letting other people try it.
Reading - This is something I don't get to do very often, but it's definitely my one true passion in life. I love getting into a character's head and going on adventures with them. I love getting mad at them for doing stupid things and I love being happy for them when things turn out the way I want them to. That's the one thing I miss the most about living on an island - there is a disturbing lack of bookshops here.
Writing - Stringing words together in a way that shows how I feel or tells a story that's been running around in my head is an awesome feeling. There's definitely something therapeutic about being able to write down what I can't say out loud. I'm definitely an introvert, and I'm much better at communicating through writing than through actually talking.
Trying new things - I'm not sure if this counts or not, but for the last couple months, I've been really into trying new things. It's a sense of accomplishment when I get it right, and it gives me something to work at when I don't get it right. I've tried metal stamping, baking dog treats, wall art, and photography lately, and all of it's been very fun even if I'm not very good at it yet.
Here's to finding even more new things that make me happy in the future!
