Self Discovery


For some it takes awhile to find your real happiness. For me, I was just blinded by material things. I had an epiphany today. The things in life that make me truly happy, is my family, my boyfriend, and my religion. I love to stay at home and spend quality time with the ones I love. They are the ones who love me unconditionally, no matter how imperfect I am. I traded being the cliche 21 year old for a stay at home kid who just wants nothing more but her family, her beliefs, and her boyfriend. I love playing with my nieces, cuddling with them, and being a kid. I love to find inspiration from my siblings, and hear their own life stories. I love to have serious and funny conversations with my boyfriend who is also my bestfriend. How can one trade precious time of being with the ones you love for parties, for fashion? That was me before, but I couldn't be any more happier of what I achieved at this point in life.

At the end of this year, I can say that I know what is true happiness and what isn't. My life this year has been more stable than in the years before. Even though this year has had the most tragedy to ever come into my life, surprisingly it was the most peaceful. I can feel myself growing and learning, and I do not want it to stop. I can feel myself maturing, but I know I'm not there yet. Now that I have the "Where to find happiness" marked off my checklist, now its time to learn "How to be happy even in times of peril". Thus, I love everything that surrounds me. I love how I can say that i'm in love. I love, love. Wonderful year, 2010.
