    Certainly, some judge me inconsistent because of my apparent tendency to move restlessly from one project to the next rather than pursuing exhaustively something I’m already good at or know a lot about (Scandinavian art, for example). But I consider the situation differently, even if I’m mindful of the professional progress I’m not making by choosing a new trajectory. When I feel satisfied with what I’ve learned and accomplished, I want to explore new things.

    I want to be happy

    Keywords: {0}

    You can always work for money, but with happiness, it’s a lot harder to obtain. In my opinion, you have to constantly and consistently pursue it, cultivate and manifest happiness into your life. I love my family, my pets, my friends, crocheting/knitting, eating, traveling, learning languages and so much more. These things bring me happiness. They’re really simple things, but honestly, I think I a lot more simple compared to others. I just have to remind myself that it’s okay to be simple. I don’t have to work at the most famous company to be successful. I don’t have to have the perfect straight A’s to be considered smart (I lowkey dumb tho ahah). I don’t have to be someone else to be happy. I am me. I can’t change that, so I better start appreciating with what I have instead of restlessly pursuing something/someone that might not even make me happy, and even if it does, to reach 100% happiness is probably really impossible. So why not be happy with the things I have/the person I am now?

    Isn’t this what I wanted?

    Keywords: {0}

    I wanted to be away to escape unresolved issues I had been stuck with my whole life but once the dust had settled, I found myself looking elsewhere again. What if I’m always going to be stuck in limbo? What if I can’t shake off the idea that the grass is going to be greener on the other side, only to be disappointed once I get there? I don’t know how to stop chasing the elusive notion of happiness without succumbing to the thought that this is probably it. As I sit on the cusp of adulthood, I find myself growing increasingly restless. With places to be, people to meet and stories to write, I still don’t know what it is that I want to say.
