The Power of Happiness.

There are many things in life that we take for granted. We think that things will just come easy to us or be there when we really need it.

Happiness will not just appear in your life. You can't seek to find it in people or force it from them.

Happiness comes from within. It comes from the people that are there for you even in your darkest moments. The people that will fight for you when you don't have any fight left in yourself.

Happiness comes from how you live out your passions. When you love something, never give it up. Even when there are others trying to bring you down or make you feel like you can't go far with that passion... Keep doing it.

Happiness comes from the way you live your life. In order to be happy, you have to see the world in a positive way. You have to be excited for whats next and what your future will bring.

I, like many other people in this world, have had their off moments. Their moments where they don't feel happy or excited about what the day brings. When I was in high school, I went on a field trip for my spanish class. I had been talking to one of my best friends the day before about how we would sit on the bus together and how we would eat lunch together that day. Well when going on the bus, I couldnt find him. He wasn't there. I didn't think much of it, just that he was probably not feeling well. I went on to the field trip and as the day went on, I was pulled out of a seminar and sat down in the lobby of the event. There was a group of us, all that I knew very well. The next few minutes were moments that I still look back today and get sad at. They told us that my best friend took his life last night. Utter disbelief turned into tears that were uncontrollable. Why would this happen? What did I do wrong? Why didn't I see the signs? We left the field trip early and went home. I sat in my room the rest of the day unable to know what to feel or do next. Even to this day, I feel like I see him in people or watch movies that bring back memories and I get back to that crying feeling all over again. I have made peace with it, but I will never be okay with it. Something that I found through this event is that I did not blame God for what happened. It would be so easy but I was just thankful that my friend was in my life even for just a bit.

God has put me through so many things I never thought I would go through. But I have never felt more thankful for him. He has shown me so many different ways on how to live life to the fullest. He has given be opportunities that I thought would never go on my path.

Hard times and stressful moments will always come, but what God does is shows you the light through the darkness. I have never felt more happy in my life than I do right now. I still get stressed with things like school and grown up decisions I have to make, but I feel so thankful that God has given me the life he has today.

Find your light through the darkness and even when something happens that you can't even imagine happening, move on to find you happiness.

This is super random but I thought I had to post this because I have been watching Grey's Anatomy. Meredith just went through something really traumatic and she is struggling to find her happiness. I thought about my moment where I didn't know what would happen next or if I would find that happiness again. But I did because of God and because of the friends and family I have around me.

Find your happiness because it is super powerful.

UPDATES
Day of Dance is next week and I am so excited! I am performing with a new group this time and it is super scary but so fun and exciting. I think I would be way too nervous and scared if I didn't have the wonderful group of people that are a new addition to my dance family that I have in the group. They make me want to be better.

We have our weekly project meetings and I love it. Any excuse to see my original dance family I am all for it.


Thats all for now!
Until next time,
