Very Good Advice

'Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give' - Norman Macewan.

Five days straight spent with friends without having the concerns of life. This blog will be different to most. It will be productive and just happy. I have come to realise that i have been stressing about far to many things. First of all University. I know it's meant to be a big thing, but it's not the be all end all. I have been hating my degree for far too long. A simple statement a friend lives his life by is 'Why do something you hate', so I've taken action. This person in a short amount of time is becoming a larger piece of wisdom.

'I don't think friendship should be about money' - Glen Poole.

Something I've come to discover, realise and administer into my daily life. My birthday people didn't intend on coming because they couldn't afford it. I lied and said i had already put a large sum down on the deposit where i only put down $50. I didn't want a friend not showing up on the account of not being able to afford food, so i bought them food. I want to be happy, i want my friends to be happen, happiness is not something that should be described through and by a monetary value. I know we eat McDonald's new family box just for the novelty of having a little family meal, it's not any different to our other meals but we still laugh at it.

I'm going to write up a list of both sort term and long term goals, just because I do find my life not really having a direction. I'm at University, but for what purpose? What will i do tomorrow? What will i do in 5 years? What would i like to be doing? All various questions i have to address. This will serve for future blogs. Right now I'm just going to focus on one thing, being happy. Once I've established my foothold on this little mountain, I'll invite others to join me on a little vacation.

I know that i have to prepare for three tutorials tomorrow, I'm not worried. I'll get through it. I might be up a little later than usual tonight but what does that matter? It's not going to effect me all that much tomorrow. I'll also aim to blog more.

No one blogs about being happy, and for some reason I've felt afraid to be that person that does so. Regardless my life is a little bit more than just panic attacks. I should be joyous. My friends met each other at my 19th, i was so worried that they wouldn't get along, but that's all behind me now. Now i know i can bring a friend from school with me on a weekend to hang out without having to chose between friends. This excites me. It makes me happy. I am smiling.
