Happiness

Part of growing up is finding out what truly makes you happy in life. In addition to finding out what that might be you must also take the initiative to chase it, make it happen, make it yours. No one is going to strive to make you happy, you must do it for yourself. For being such a simple concept, this realization did not come easy for me. Finding who and what makes you happy is a process, and a difficult one sometimes. I am so thankful that through prayer, introspection, and many hours seeking inspiration from all over I have been able to find several things that truly make me happy to focus my energy on developing, enriching and enjoying. Among them I count true friendships, traveling the world, cooking fun things, exploring, and learning. I hope you will take the time to find what makes you happy and invest in it because...

Working for Friendship

As a recent college grad there are a lot of things that I'm now dealing with which I never had to before. When I graduated, I moved from Sacramento, CA to the East San Francisco Bay Area 1. To be closer to my boyfriend 2. To check out a new place... I fancy myself as an adventurous soul and therefore took this challenge head on. I have a few friends from school here but not many and I am slowly expanding my social circle as I meet more and more friends of friends, significant others, and friends of my random craigslist roommates. However, at the same time I am practicing fully investing in the friendships I do have here, in Sacramento, and back home-home in Red Bluff. This has definitely been one of the biggest changes for me since I was never at a lack of "friends" back in college or high-school. There was always someone texting about a party or event happening and always someone available for a study session in the library. Moving away and working full-time with non-traditional hours has shown me how much you really have to put into a friendship when it isn't simply convenient due to sheer mass of people and proximity to each other. I now have to schedule my lunch dates and nights out with the girls. Sometimes it takes me weeks or months to finally find a time that works for both of us to be in the same city and available to hang out... But that's what it's all about. No matter how long it takes, a true friend is willing to put in the effort and still keep up the conversation in between.
