Something about cleaning my room brings me back to a happier time. It’s so much quieter in the calm

Sometimes I think I’m happy

Then someone reminds me that they don’t care

And that someone is usually the one person I needed

2019 is the year I’m gonna punch all my problems one by one. Will they fight back? Probably. But, I’m willing to keep the fight going until one of us is dead.

More like 2020 but yeah

I think I lost happiness as a child

Not on purpose

It was more I let go of it’s hand

To chase a butterfly

Only to look up and see it gone

It might have been when my dad didn’t come home

Or when my mom didn’t want me

Or it might have been a random day

Sometime in July

When no one wished me Happy Birthday

I looked for Happiness

In my family and my friends

I thought I might have seen it sometime

In the eyes of my cat or the new snow

These glimpses weren’t enough

Not when I needed hope

I found it briefly as a teenager

In True Friends and freedom

But it couldn’t stay

Happiness was just a visitor

And I had to let it leave

I’ve been looking for happy.

Most of my life

It was no longer in my father

Time had stolen it from him

It had left my friends as we lost touch

And I couldn’t see

The light that had once shone

Now I’ve been left

With happy for so long

I can’t even remember the feeling

Someone tells me what it feels like

How I can get it back

But the words are more like a foreign language

Than directions that could help

I’m still searching for happiness

I hope to find it soon

And this time

With friends and support

I’ll finally make it stay

[let-me-find-happy]

I don’t know where my happy goes

All I can do is enjoy it while it is here

[let-me-find-happy]

Bad days are going to happen

They can’t be avoided completely

But how we react to the bad days

Shows how much we’ve recovered

[let-me-find-happy]

Imagine: You’re home. All the chores have been done and all of your bills have been paid. You had enough money to treat yourself to something nice and to put money into savings. You had a delicious dinner and you’re in your comfiest pajamas, without a care in your mind

daily affirmation: my body is healing. my mind is healing. my heart is healing. i release any old habits, thoughts, and words that are not for my highest good. i openly welcome love, good luck, abundance, good health, and peace of mind into my life because i deserve it. i am worthy.

I found positivity in how nice a made bed is

In the snores of a tired dog

The softness of a favorite sweater

Fresh falling snow

And hot cocoa with a secret ingredient

There was no extra effort needed

Just being in the moment was enough

For positivity to find me

A Concept: You’re sitting in your bed. Your room is freshly cleaned and your sheets are still warm from the dryer. The area is illuminated by soft yellow fairy lights and out your window you see fresh fallen snow glowing blue under the moonlight. Your pet lays next to you and you sip hot chocolate as soft music plays. Vanilla wafts through your room from a flickering candle near your bed and you feel true contentment and happiness
