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

The South Coast of Iceland

Iceland! The land of so much more than ice. Volcanoes, canyons, countless waterfalls and wind that will blow you away, literally. Although the ice was practically non-existent, or at least the parts of the country that I encountered. The one place we did find ice it was absolutely, without a doubt, my favorite part of the trip. Never have I ever seen that kind of beauty. It’s a different kind of beauty than, say Bali (which is definitely my favorite place on earth), yet it was magical. The views were absolutely stunning. Something that didn’t even make sense to me was these huge blocks of ice we saw. They have been there for hundreds of years, and have never melted away. However, it’s not freezing and there is no snow. The water isn’t frozen! I’m so curious about how and why this is even possible? The ice was literally blue! So unreal.

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...

Hiking Trails...

This summer I had a lot of free time and I dedicated a lot of it to exploring the surrounding areas. I love hiking and seeing what nature has to offer. I went to a few hikes in Malibu beach, Laguna Beach and even Arizona. The hikes I did were not hard, so if you're a beginner, those would be perfect. So here is the first one. This hike was in Malibu. Its called E scondido Falls and in case you want to explore yourself the address is Escondido Canyon Trail Malibu, CA 90265. This hike was fairly easy however, it requires some climbing uphill and a little rock climbing. The next one is This one is called Malibu Rock Pool and the address for this one is 1925 Las Virgenes Rd Agoura , CA 91376 The second hike was a little easier to get to the water. It is about a mile from the road and the path is easy. Now we are going to go south, to Laguna Beach. The First hike...
