a cheesy first post

i'd like to begin this new blog by asking myself a question: if i know what makes me feel good, why do i put myself in positions which will make me feel bad?

"what makes me feel good" refers to a multitude of things: reading a book, having intellectually stimulating conversations, eating well, breaking a sweat every so often, having encouraging thoughts about myself and others, getting enough sleep. i know how i feel when i have these things in my life. i feel content and complete. so why is it that i deprive myself of these things? all I know is that i'm ready to start phasing the rest out- the negative experiences, the mornings spent wallowing in regret, the days spent too tired to enjoy the sun - as cliche as this sounds, life really is too short to spend it unhappy. we owe it to ourselves to spend our time being well; we're worth it!

so, here's this blog. a way for me to document what makes me feel good, possibly a way to remind me what makes me feel good when i'm not feeling so good. my journey to finding and maintaining constant wellness and joy. this space is for me to write about anything that brings me happiness.
