I love doing things that bring me joy and ignoring the voices in my head that may have negative energy towards me being happy. Today I went shopping and it wasn’t impulsive I had thought about it but It wasn’t a necessity. I felt it was going to bring me joy and a dopamine hit so I did it and it for sure gave me exactly that. Do I regret spending money I shouldn’t have, no, am I happy, 100% yes and I’m saying all this to say chase happiness and joy regardless of what that voice in your head might be telling you because at the end of the day stress and sadness and all that negative energy is not worth it.

ok this sounds cliche but idk how else to explain it…
if theres a place to go, go
if theres food to try, try it
if theres art to make, make it
going on my first instinct of “i want to do __” and immediately going for it has made my days a lot more fulfilling. if i feel like a walk i’ll just take a walk idc what time!
there is so much potential for joy and meaning and peace in 24 hours. and im not gonna doom-scroll it away!

Not something necessarily productive or makes you proud. it just brings you joy (probably would be stupid) i think in stupidity lays joy!

Even though I'm living a life-long struggle with IBD and have daily chronic pain, I consider myself to be a generally happy person and would say that I have a happy life.
I wanted to share some things that I sprinkle into my days that I believe help me feel the general sense that I have a happy life- not despite the pain, but pain included.
Life is FULL of wonderful things, as well as lots of horrible things.
The world is particularly heavy right now, but any time I can break up the day with any of the things I talk about in this video, my heart feels a little bit lighter and I have a little more energy to participate.
Ps there are time stamps and lots of links to other helpful things in the description of this vid on YT

it’s genuinely very hard for me to be mad at another person—unless they are genuinely being unreasonable and deliberately hurtful towards me. but even so, they usually have their own reasons
everyone’s allowed to live differently and make different decisions based on how they grew up and grew into the person they are, and i think understanding how inherently different we all are from each other is actually very important—not enough people grapple with that, we don’t actually sit down and comprehend that before reacting and objecting other people
i also think we need to be more comfortable with saying “i understand why you think this is the case, i just don’t agree with you, and that’s totally ok”

It’s incredible how many people genuinely think they are boring. There have been so many times I’ve spoken with people and they confess that they think that they haven’t done much with their life, or that they don’t have much interesting to talk about, but it’s almost never the case.
From what I can tell, it’s often caused by a lack of knowing thyself. Or maybe a low self esteem? I’ve been through it too, and it is so so not true for anyone.
You’ve done so much living. Why do you feel like your story is not worth telling? I know you’ve gone through some crazy shit once or twice. if you really haven’t, what’s stopping you from getting out there and creating stories to talk about? Start small! go to a coffee shop once a week. See if they have any clubs to join, and try that out! you’ll be making memories in NO TIME.
If you have trouble finding meaningful/fun conversation, just remember that the effort must flow both ways. You are merely just working with what the other person is providing you, and if they aren’t giving you anything to work with, it’s not your fault. You aren’t boring, you are just around people who dont vibe with you. And that’s okay! Not every person is going to be your specific kind of person. Plus, if you aren’t having fun talking to them, why does it matter if they like you? the much cooler people who value your input are just around the corner. I promise.
One day you’ll be able to shine your beautiful personality on someone who is equally as bright you are, you magnificent comet, you.
