I want to set aside time for self-care.

To me, happinesis feeling statisfied with myself and my work.

One compliment I recieved recently is that I am compassionate.

A goal for the end of the week: Really, I had 2-- The first is to completely unpack (I moved in with my boyfriend). It doesn't have to be spotless, but it should at least be less cluttered! The second was to finish a commission I started at the beginning of the week.

To me, happiness is a compass. You will feel the most balanced, and like you belong, and like you're going in the right direction when you feel that little bubbling, sparkling fizz of happiness in your chest.

My boyfriend said: "I love you. You are very sweet." quite sincerely to me yesterday!

One goal I have before the week ends is: Well last week's ended by the time I'm posting haha but I'd love to set the goal of exercising every weekday for this week.

To me, happiness means: being at peace with myself and the world around me, but also being realistic and realizing that it's going to take time to get there. For now, the effort is enough. Inner happiness for me comes from solitude, connecting with my body in positive ways, engaging in hobbies, acknowledging my strength and progress, writing, self-care, appreciation of those who support me. I make mistakes, do impulsive things, hurt people's feelings, fall into episodes of depression and anxiety, don't cope in the best ways all the time - but learning to accept and work with that has been rewarding.

One compliment I received lately is: My professor said that she notices I'm trying to speak up more in classes and topped it off with "You've grown a lot." Those 4 words have kept me motivated to keep growing.
