Happiness is found with in...yourself

Happiness is when you can be happy with yourself, before you let someone else make you happy. When you're happy with yourself everything else doesn't matter. There is no rush to find someone special to fulfill your needs. I realized something very important yesterday. I did something I have never done before, as a matter of fact I never thought I would do something like that, ever. But it happen and I didn't fight it. I actually didn't mind it at all. It made me realize how much I've grown internally since my break up.

For one of my classes I had to go see this movie called "No". Its not a popular movie and is only playing in 3 theaters in LA area. The closes one is 28 minutes away from my house. I asked 4 people if they wanted to join me and all said no, which normally would piss me off.

-You, my friend, say no to me to company me at the movies?! What?! How dare you? ...and so on, but last night as the 4 people said no, I thought to myself: "I don't really care, it's a movie, not a bar. You don't mingle during movie time anyway. The drive is going to be boring but other than that, who cares".

So, I got into my car and went to the movie by myself. The drive wasn't boring as I pictured it. In fact, I had a great time thinking about all the things I haven't thought of when I'm busy with friends. As I got the theater, I walked up and without even thinking got one ticket and went in. After words I thought to myself, how I have never done this before, how I always cared of what people would think/say, how the feeling of insecurity would eat me alive if I would ever do that... None of those thoughts came through until I forcefully thought of how I felt nothing like I thought I would.

I once read in a book that if you're able to go out to restaurant and eat on your own, or go to a movie on your own and not mind it is just a sign of being happy with yourself. Moreover, this is a sing of independence and fulfillment of self satisfaction.

If you are unhappy with yourself, I would recommend reading a book and working on your inner self. Don't force it, it will happen at the right time. In a mean time here are a few steps to happiness:

*Smile

*Make friends

*Have deep meaningful conversations

*Explore

*Give everyone a chance

*Love and Respect

*Be optimistic

*Stay close with family and friends

*Be loyal

As always Stay Classy My Friends <3

Icelandic Adventures

The Land of Ice awaits my arrival. Or so, I hope. I have dreamt of this for a long time. I'm so beyond excited to explore, yet another country. In just 11 short days, I will be getting on the plane, to depart for Iceland. I have so many things on my list that I would love to see, but so little time. With only 7 full days there, I'm torn to have to pick and choose which places I will have to miss this time. This trip is filled with exciting activities I've never done. I will be talking about each activity in a separate post after I experience it. Iceland offers some of the most spectacular sceneries: endless waterfalls, volcanos, icebergs, farm houses, natural lagoons/hot-springs, ice caves just to name a few. I’m also excited for the weather change. To wear a jacket, and gloves and a hat. Living in Florida for the passed 10 months made me really appreciate a little bit of that crisp air. I have been wearing nothing but dresses, so I’m excited for some la...

Bucket List Things...

Last summer I was fortunate enough to take a 3 month trip to Europe. It was surreal, I honestly didn't even have it on my bucket list. But some of the activities we did, were definitely checked off. Doing something that is written on my bucket list in real life, gives me an unbelievable satisfaction. On top of that awesome feeling, I also get motivated to achieve the next thing on my list. My list is endless! There is SO much I want to accomplish! Today I want to share my experience doing something that has been on my list for a long time: White River Rafting! I have always wanted to do it but it never worked out, until last weekend. This time it worked out so perfect, it was worth the wait! We were lucky to get a private tour guide who was the coolest dude, ever! He has been rafting for over 40 years, so his experience was unbeatable and it showed when we started rafting. Our 10 mile trip took us over 6 hours because our tour guide made sure that we woul...

The Gamble of Packing

It's been a minute, or two. Oh wait, it's been over two months! I have been traveling around Europe, as I promised, and this experience has been so absolutely amazing. Before I left, I did a little bit of research on traveling, but definitely not enough. I saw the phrase 'Pack Light' a million times. But how do I pack light for 3 months? Especially knowing that the weather will be anywhere between 55/rain and 100/humid. I have never experienced that much of a difference in climate, in such short period of time, therefore I was so overwhelmed with packing, that I just kept on putting everything in the bag. By the time it was time to leave, my bag was around 35 pounds. But wait, I also decided that I need a rolling bag, which was around 11 pounds, and a small backpack around 4 pounds. So here I am with 50 pounds in my back , without a single clue of what I'm getting myself into. Within the first week I was ready to ditch 20 pounds of clothes because I rea...
