Is Happiness the Right Life Goal?
When I was in my early teens, I wanted nothing more than to be respected by my peers. By age eighteen, I wanted to change the world and be recognised as a great mind of the century, maybe even the millennia. A few years later that goal altered to the smaller but perhaps no less difficult, achieving personal well-being.

Not a Trait
Growing up homeschooled had its perks, I could sleep in, I had more time for my hobbies, and I was able to learn in a hands-on way. My mom was my teacher for a while. She sucked at teaching math, not being very good at it herself, but she was exceptional at history. Out of everything she taught me, I remember history lessons the most. I used to read history books about ancient Greece and Rome in my free time, admiring the strength of their generals and most infamous leaders, longing to be like them.

When the World Keeps Spinning and You're Still Standing Still
I've been on this planet for 22 years now and honestly, I can say there are very few people out there that were able to help me without me having to mess something up first. My mom and dad were the picture perfect couple in the most picture perfect relationship for as long as I can remember, that is until I graduated high school. My dad left shortly after I graduated. He had confessed to me that he had been seeing another woman for quite some time. (Mind you as if this wasn't enough of a shock to you, it would soon be even more of a shock that she is only a few years older than me). As you can imagine this was a hard thing to process.

Loving Yourself
First thing's first, yes the title to this blog is a little cliché, and I know you're probably preparing yourself for a load of inspirational bull, but normally, I'm not an inspirational person. Judging by the title, you've probably made numerous assumptions about me. Let's clear all this up. No, I'm not a vegan. No, I'm not spiritual, and no, I don't do yoga. All in all I'm a pretty grounded person, but I do love myself, and you should love yourself.

Becoming an Adult Far from Everything
One year ago, I took the plane to cross the ocean. Six hours later, I was in an other dimension: North America. Quite a big deal for a 18-year-old boy who's never lived far from his family. I was completely unconscious. I did not even know what I was doing... But I did it.

Be the Black Sheep
Many of us “sheep” of society choose to base our everyday life and actions on whatever’s going on in the world. We always find ourselves going everyday with the flow of society. It’s easier to make friends and get followers that way anyways right..? While very few of us “black sheep” of society rather go the hard way. If you asked me I say it's the hard way or the highway; Following a blind society is something that kills our energy, beats us into depression, and drives us to be anxious. Tell me, where does your happiness truly lie? I highly doubt its in following some of the latest trends in society.

Stones
“I’m telling you, it’s all in the motion.” She holds the stone in her hand and winds her arm back. Knees bent, eyes squinted, and focused on the water. Then, almost as graceful as it is forceful, she chucks the smooth, edgeless stone at the surface of the water and watches it skip.

The Search for Enlightenment
Searching for Enlightenment I have always believed that happiness is something to be found. That one day I will find someone or something that will make me think "Yeah, I'm finally happy." A sudden change in feelings where all the years of hurt disappear, and all you feel is joy. You can live the rest of your life in total tranquility.
