One thing that I always liked about Techno is that he's pretty rational and always seemed to want the best for the community he was in. This entire episode was about discourse that is a decade old, but the message that you shouldn't just complain to complain is still relevant. He makes it clear you can still criticize things that are broken but you should aim to do so in a way that pushes things forward instead of dragging them down.

15 Things That Make Me Happy

So I was tagged by my beautiful best friend, Sydney, aka batmanisadisneyprincess to make a list of 15 things that make me happy!

A/N: So the writer in me made this way longer than it had to be but oh well

Here is my list:

1. Music - Without a doubt, it is one of the most important things in my life. It can take me away from reality even if it’s only for a 3 minute 17 second track. If you don’t have an artist/band that makes you feel alive like nothing else then you aren’t doing music right.

2. Playing My Guitar - Going along with the theme of music, I love to play my guitar. I have been playing for almost two years now and even today I get that same feeling when I play and create music that’s like nothing else. It’s a second language to me.

3. Writing - As someone who plans to make a career by writing, yes I love it and it makes me happy. I love creating a character and building a life around them. I love keeping journals and writing about my life, writing songs and writing poetry. It relaxes me and lets me reflect on the things that have happened in my life.

4. Reading - Any good writer has to love reading just as much as writing, if not more. There is nothing better than curling up with a good book and hot chocolate on a cold day. There's just something special about the feeling you get when reading, making connections to the characters and getting lost in a fictional world for a few hours.

5. Friends - All my friends make me happy, whether I’ve known them for 12 years like my friend Sean, 3 years like my friend Acacia, or it feels like I’ve known them lifetimes, like my best friend Sydney. Without them, I wouldn’t be the same person.

6. Dan and Phil - I don't want to be one of the typical "so and so saved my life" but I can honestly say I would not be where I am today had it not been for finding Dan and Phil's videos over a year and a half ago. They've helped me become the person I am now and there's nothing but happiness associated with them.

7. Stars - Being outside with my brother and Sean talking about life and counting the shooting stars are some of my favorite memories.

8. Clothes - Clothes are one of the more obvious ways to express yourself, and I take pride in looking how I want to look and looking nice. I love putting on a band t-shirt because it is a bold way to say “this is what I like, this is my music”. But I also love putting on a skirt and a nice sweater with my favorite red lipstick because it makes me feel cute and confident.

9. Rainy Days - Some of my favorite days ever are on rainy days when I make top ramen and watch All Time Low live acoustic videos on youtube. Also the sound of rain is so peaceful.

10. The Middle of Summer - I think that July is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s the middle of summer and so much is going on. I love going to the county fair with my friends and setting off fireworks on the 4th of July. I love flip flop weather because socks are my enemy. I love walking to seven eleven to get icees and then playing a five hour game of monopoly with my friend Kayla.

11. My Cousins Max and Anna - While I only get to see them once every few years, and even then only for a week at a time, they are two of my best friends in the entire world. We can go three years without seeing each other and then hang out like we were never apart. Maybe that’s because we’re all so close in age (me being 15, Max 14, my brother 14, and Anna 12). My favorite week of my entire life was being in Florida with them three summers ago and playing hide and seek in the hotel we were staying in. I think that is a prime example of how it’s the little things in life, and the seemingly insignificant days that turn out to be the most memorable. I’ve grown up with them, even if it was on opposite sides of the country. They are genuinely good people that I am proud to call my family.

12. Late Nights - Whether I stay up reading, writing, or somehow watching every youtube video ever, I just love the feeling of staying up late when so much of the world is asleep. It is in those moments when I realize that I am alive and that life is a happenstance and I only get to do it once.

13. The Beach - Standing on the warm sand in front of the warm ocean on the Florida coast is my favorite place in the entire world. Nothing compares to a beach sunset or morning walks to find best seashells that the night tide brought in.

14. Nature - Taking walks and just basically enjoying life and nature. Also, can we talk about trees? Like, just think about how great they are.

15. My Room - My ultimate form of self expression. From my pictures of bands on one wall to artwork on the other. From the song lyrics painted on my wall to the fairy lights. My room makes me happy.

So there’s my list! Props to anyone that read it all. I just tag anyone who wants to do this.
