Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
Home is a place within you
Is “home” a place or a feeling? That is something I’ve begun asking myself lately. Two continents, six cities, and ten years after I first left my home country, I’m only beginning to find comfort in discomfort. Visa after visa, I’m forgetting what a Sunday lunch ritual with family feels like and learning to let go of material possessions that exceed my 20kg luggage limit.

Quarantine Vibes; Positive Message for all of those that feel discouraged
This quarantine was something beyond anyone’s imagination. Everything seemed to be going so right since the start of this year; we were all making plans for the summer, accomplishing our new year’s resolutions, being productive at school and at work. Then, out of nowhere, all of these are ripped out from our grasps. We can no longer leave our houses, we can't see any of our friends. It becomes a challenge to simply get some work done or exercise after a long days’ worth of doing nothing. Those sticky notes with all our play dates, family getaways and road trips are being peeled one by one off of our calendars. To make matters worse, boredom, procrastination, laziness - the things that we try to avoid in our lives each and every single waking moment - are becoming harder and harder to avoid. What is there left to do other then watch Netflix and munch away at everything in the pantry? What's the point of doing our work if we can just stay in bed instead scrolling through Instagram, laughing at TikToks or making fake tinder accounts to catfish some poor souls? Never in our right minds had we thought that our lives would come to this.

An Open Letter To The Easter Bunny: From April 2020
Oh dear...would "Happy Easter" be an appropriate word to say to people in these fuzzy, confusing and dark times?! Yes dear reader, you could be reading this letter right now (as at the time of writing this, as of Easter in 2020), or even a year from now...perhaps even 2,5, 20, 50 or even 100 years from now. If you happen to be in the latter camp of readers at the time: let me remind you that we were all having to self-isolate and #stayathome due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic...way beyond our normal. Easter 2020 is/was a forced dark period on every single human alive...even a forced period of an unplanned vacation, depending on your point of view.

How to feel beautiful.
Being the one who is either rejected or to afraid to be accepted for fear of rejection, life got a bit maddening for me. Being the ugly duckling growing up has never really allowed me to understand myself as anything other than a poor girl no one would sit by.

Tech and Time
Living in this modern day and age, the age of technology and consumerism we can find that people are becoming more and more reliant on objects and personal gain. Has this made us more selfish as individuals? And do we feed off of instant gratification?

Love More: 3 of My Favorite Things. Second Place in Love More Challenge.
I spend an unhealthy amount of time on the internet.

Time to Talk to Yourself
A sense of self can be grounding during almost any situation in life, be it good or bad. However threats to one's image in both societal and self acknowledgement can be detrimental to health, mental state, education and your ability to get through the day. Ever heard the saying “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”? This quote is credited to Einstein in the book “The rhythm of life: living every day with passion and purpose” by Matthew Kelly. (Although there is no evidence to support that he actually said it as It does not appear in the comprehensive collection of quotations “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein” from Princeton University Press.)
