    What Makes You Truly Happy?

    I'm curious... I've heard that quote about life's not worth living unless you have something you're willing to die for. Well, I don't have something I'm willing to die for. I have people (family, one friend) that I'm willing to die for. Pro-choice issues are important to me... But I can't really think of anything else. What makes YOU truly happy??

    Miss Bella,

    I re-read your question and noticed a tone of inquisitive gesture. I wanted to mention that though there are, in fact, many things I would die for, it has nothing to do with what makes life worth living.

    Life, is life. It's challenge after challenge. What makes me truly happy is learning, absorbing, processing, aligning, analyzing, observing, suggesting, relating and most importantly, understanding.

    Talk to me a year ago, and life was absent of all these things for me, life was a mundane repetition of the previous day with minor differences. Maybe I argued about something different, went to a different strip club, worked later, something minor. I had nothing challenging me, nothing piquing my interest, as a matter of fact I had a lot sapping what little mental stimulation I had.

    What makes life worth living is the actions of the world around me, I'm an observer, I watch and I process. I try to relate, but I always understand even if I don't agree. I'm receptive to all new things, and even the tiniest detail can contain worlds of interesting depth to de-construct.

    Life is Life, and I am happy to live it with the ups and downs. With my actions and my reactions. What really makes me happy is knowing that theres so many things out there I know absolutely nothing about.

    Blah. Blah. Blah.

    The enjoyment of a dream is that it is a fantasy. If it happens, it's not a dream, it's life.

    "Life is like a book, the story has it's good times, and it's struggles, but just because you get upset and stop reading, it doesn't change how it's going to end"

    Lately- not much. I do try to just look for simple little things. Waking up in the morning is a good start.

    Aww, Mast, but you haven't even tried the goods for real yet! I guess my party photos go a long way. Just you wait till you taste IRL.

    What makes me truly happy? Hard to define, like the whole concept of "following your bliss". I have so many things I enjoy that it's hard to know which bliss to follow sometimes, but it's one of those things - you ALWAYS know when you're NOTfollowing it. That oh, something is just horribly, horribly wrong here feeling in your gut.

    (And a clean kitchen is nice too.)

    I've heard that quote about life's not worth living unless you have something you're willing to die for.
    There's a few rare things that enhance my life and subsequently take on a level of importance that supersedes everything else. As to whether or not I'd die for those things, I'd rather it didn't come to that.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    The other day I was having a meltdown...I'm about 3 1/2 weeks away from the baby being here and I still have lots to do...Makayla was having a massive meltdown, I was tired, annoyed, angry...yelled at Makayla...she starts throwing a screaming, crying fit...

    Went to bed that night feeling really bad...but when I woke up the next day, showered, dressed and was putting on my makeup...Makayla comes into my bathroom and says, "Mommy, I still love you even when you are angry and I'm crabby."

    That makes me feel good. I'm happy when I feel good, so I try to do things that help me feel good...playing with Makayla...is one of the top things.

    My Kids. Hunter recently started giggling, and sometimes just busts out LAUGHING! There's nothing like watching your children grow up, and discover new things, and knowing that YOU had something to do with every little thing. There's nothing like a tight hug around your waist from them, or hearing them say "You're the best Mom in the whole world." Also I find it impossible to sleep without Hunter cuddled up on my chest. Never would've thought that'd be so comfortable, for both of us.
