And then one student said that happiness is what happens when you go to bed on the hottest night of the summer, a night so hot you can’t even wear a tee-shirt and you sleep on top of the sheets instead of under them, although try to sleep is probably more accurate. And then at some point late, late, late at night, say just a bit before dawn, the heat finally breaks and the night turns into cool and when you briefly wake up, you notice that you’re almost chilly, and in your groggy, half-consciousness, you reach over and pull the sheet around you and just that flimsy sheet makes it warm enough and you drift back off into a deep sleep. And it’s that reaching, that gesture, that reflex we have to pull what’s warm - whether it’s something or someone - toward us, that feeling we get when we do that, that feeling of being sad in the world and ready for sleep, that’s happiness.

They won’t understand until you leave. The minute you walk away you’ll become ‘the best they’ve ever had.’ It’s crazy how loss triggers love.

Beautiful things to look forward to:

People you haven’t met yet who will come to love you

New flavors of ice cream

Summer 2016 memories

Your favorite bands releasing new music

Finding a book that speaks to you

Thrift store finds that make you feel beautiful

Noticing that you are drifting down the path you want to go in life

Finding the courage to be who you are no matter who is with you

Need to remind myself that I have made progress. It’s hard when you’re stuck in a plateau for so long to remember that you have done well so far. I have achieved so many non scale victories and I am so proud of myself for that. Like comfortably wearing shorts for the first time ever, wearing a bathing suit confidently, going for hikes and being active outdoors, and just overall having a better outlook on life. I want to experience things and be happy instead of hiding myself in my room every day. I actually want to eat well and not feel like crap everyday. It’s amazing how becoming healthy changes so many aspects of your life without even realizing it. I love my body so I want to treat it well and feed it well, and that is something that I have finally learned.
