I pretty much forgot to continue these, but since I feel better after a little pick-me-up (thanks to you anons), I decided to find other things that make me happy about living.

17. How amazing my anons are. This deserved a category in itself, just because how sweet you guys are. Usually, it’s empty (which I don’t mind a whole lot, since I sometimes forget to reply, but I still love them anyhow), but seeing my inbox with such sweet things, well, it makes me realize they are amazing people out there. Just a few kind words can light up anyone’s day, no matter who they are.

18. Tennis. I’m not that great at it, but I really do love the sport. Unfortunately, I played kind of awful, not something I’m really proud of. But still, I got exercise, and it makes me happy knowing that I’m doing something I find fun and healthy at the same time.

19. Random conversations. They are awesome. Today, I got relationship advice from my PE teachers (both female), two people I would have never in a million years thought that I would be having this conversation with them. Good advice too.

20. Being with people I love. Honestly, what can get better than this? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Because whether you succeeded or failed, you want to share it with someone who you care about. 

1. First day of summer. ‘Nuff said.
2. The bands/singers I love. There’s a reason why I love them, and it’s because their music inspires me, it makes me happy. I can’t tell you how many times I’ll be stuck somewhere, whether in the car, at school, in my room, and I turn on the music. Most of the time, you’ll catch me with a dopey grin on my face, or just entirely spacing out, listening carefully to the beats, the melodies, the lyrics.
3. Magazines. I’ll admit it, they’re one of my guilty pleasures. I’m not talking about the tabloids, but I occasionally read those. I’m talking Seventeen, Nylon, others that I’m completely blanking out on right now. I love the fashion ones. I usually hold on to them too, because they’re fun to look through from a while back, and they give me inspiration too.
4. Boys. Hehe. They’re cute and adorable and hilarious. Unfortunately, none of them really like me. So, forever alone. But it’s ok! I don’t need them to have fun. I’ll just admire cute boy pictures and those who are bands, etc.
5. Stuffed animals. They are so cute and fluffy and I just want to hug them all the time! (Just realized that could relate to guys too. Blah!)
6. Life. I could go into this really deep thinking and explain how much life is and how much good it is to live, but I think I’ll leave it at, life rocks.

6.  Food. Without it, we would die. Besides, a lot of it is yummy :)

7.  Clothes. I love fashion, & even though I sometimes dress in just a tee shirt and   jeans, I still love the times I can actually dress up. & the many different styles   you can dress in is immense. You don’t even have to follow any stereotype. You can express yourself with clothes.

8.  Summer. I love it. Lovelovelove. I love it when I go to the beach, lay down, close my eyes, and feel the warm sun beating on my skin (don’t forget the sunscreen!) and hearing the crash of the waves on the sand. I love being out of school, free of homework (well, I still get homework, but I can procrastinate on it for a long time.) It’s a time where I can hang out with friends and NOT complain about school. It’s hello ice cream and pools and goodbye stuffy classrooms and mean teachers.

9. Writing. I’ll admit it. I love to write. Do I write well? Not so much. I just love the fact that I can express all these different ideas in my head and be able to write it all down. Unfortunately, it’s not always as accurate as I would hope.

10. Dreams. I love to dream, whether it’s at night or just daydreaming about something completely random. It’s my inspiration for almost all the stories I want to write. It’s also a hope,  a wish, a desire that I hope to fulfill. I’m a dreamer, not so much a doer. But to make my dreams come true, I’ve got to do things.

So each day or week (I might switch back & forth) I’m going to blog list 5-7 things that make me happy. I need to remind myself that there are amazing things in life, & not make a big deal out of the not-so-happy things.

So, to start off, #1:

1. My family. Ok, so they may be irritating at times & I want them out of my hair, but they want the best for me, & I love them :)
2. My friends. Honestly, I have the greatest friends. I absolutely love them. I don’t know what I would do without my friends. I’d probably be hiding under a rock.
3. Music.  Just in general, music is amazing. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are, or what you are, music is all around you, & there’s something out there for everybody. You can relate to it, or you can just like how it sounds. Doesn’t matter.
4. Tumblr. This is pretty much self explanatory. I love blogging. I love the different people on here, & meeting new friends from here. It’s absolutely amazing relating to others that might be on the other side of the world, & just talking to them. & scrolling through my dashboard to find awesome pictures. 
5. Love. I’m talking about all types of love. Not just the romantic kind, but a love for something you, well, love. Books, art, music, animals, tea, architecture, whatever! But I love how people can love one another. That makes me happy.

Pretty basic list, but it’ll get more specific as time goes on.
