Some inspiration for lifelong happiness
Sometimes we need someone to tell us that we are doing well, that we don't need to worry because one day we'll get there. When I'm feeling a little low or bad about myself, or I start to question my self-worth and think too much about my life, I try to shake myself out of those feelings by reading inspiring quotes and affirmations.
Why I love going to the movies
I love going to the movies. The scent of worn carpet and popcorn, the trailers, the moment when the lights dim; it鈥檚 familiar and exciting all at once.
Where are we going in life?
High school is hard. Starting uni is hard. Being a student and working is hard. Some people can do it. Some people can barely juggle it. Some of us know exactly what we want to do and where we want to go in our careers and in life.聽But a lot of us have no idea and are only at uni because it was 鈥渂etter than doing nothing鈥, or because people聽have certain expectations of us. Wherever we are in life, we are all in the same boat, but聽it's important to remember to live.聽
Turning 21
I just turned 21 a few weeks ago. In the聽couple of weeks leading up to it, I kept forgetting it was coming up, seriously just went right over my head. I can鈥檛 tell if it was my subconscious trying to block out the fact that I鈥檓 getting older, that its time to be an adult, be more responsible, that soon my parents will kick me out.聽Or that life is so fleeting, passing by so, so quickly like how dare she!... Seriously what鈥檚 the deal?!聽I鈥檝e realized recently that I haven鈥檛 been making the most of my life. A lot of you may feel the same way, so what can we do to feel like we're actually living?聽Writing it down in this blog has actually helped me to self reflect, to realise that I actually have done a lot and have a lot going for myself.

What do our routines say about us?
Routines can聽help form our sense of self. But what happens when our habits fail us? What聽happens when we fall out of our regular routine?
Things we don't have to do
Sometimes we forget that we don't actually have to do what everyone else is doing just because it's normal, or because it's been ingrained into our brains as a social norm since we were babies. To apologise for something, or to follow trends because social media said so, or hide your true self in fear of being judged. Of course,聽there are things in life that are obvious you should do, like I don't know, just at the very least be a聽decent person to others.聽 But a lot of people would be much happier if they were a tiny bit selfish every once in a while. It's good for you!聽Here's a list of things, we really don't have to do all the time.聽
