i’ve been in such a bad funk lately. it’s so easy to get overwhelmed and down about life, but it’s so important that you remind yourself of the things that keep you going.

i needed to take a step back and do some things that make me happy. i needed some positivity and i thought that i’d share with all of you my list.

happiness is what you choose it to be, and here are just a few of what i find joy in:

journaling

simply just getting things out my head an on to paper is such a relief sometimes.

being around friends and family

having good company around always keeps my mind off of other things and i’m always guaranteed a few good laughs.

bubble baths

a perfect time to relax, blast some music, and not think about anything at all.

loud music

chicago cubs games

you can never go wrong with friends, beer, and wrigley field.

painting

the sound of rain

especially during naps or in the morning when you don’t have to crawl out of bed.

tacos

with a side of tequila.

houseplants

after i didn’t kill my first one the first few days ow owning it, i had to go buy ALL the houseplants.
