The Beginning

I consider the beginning of my self-discovery at around 16 years old when I transferred high schools, on my own accord, due to unpleasant circumstances. The details of those first steps are not important right now, but that’s when I realized positive change is possible, and that it takes a lot of work.

Looking back over the last 14 years I see a younger version of myself clinging to a vast endless wall, embracing so hard, but not knowing what it was she grips. When I started learning about life, and myself, I began seeing a larger piece of the wall I was holding on to. It began taking shape the farther I stepped away, the more I communicated with others, and the more open my mind became to universal possibilities.

So here I am. I see a greater picture of the universe and where we fit in. I know it will continue to change and evolve with the more knowledge and insight I acquire, but that’s cosmic law. Everything changes.

This blog is dedicated to Life and Happiness. Life is dirty, complicated, subtle, beautiful, and inspiring. It encompasses everything and all possibilities. Happiness is a state of being. I believe it is possible for everyone to live in a state of happiness, regardless of their past. The journey can be arduous, set backs are inevitable, but I have learned anything worthwhile is never easy and requires some risk.

This is my journey, my study of happiness. Welcome to an inside view of my perspective. I think it will be interesting and ponderous.

Lastly, a big THANK YOU to those that encouraged me to start a blog as an outlet for my writing. I look forward to its development and exploration.
