Monday Ramblings



CLUB MONACO COAT, BRANDY MELVILLE TURTLENECK, WILFRED SKIRT, NIKE SHOES, ZARA CLUTCH, RAY-BAY SUNGLASSES
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Praise Karl, the sun came out in Vancouver. Much appreciated after what seemed like a forever's worth of rain, especially with the opportunity to wear my new Club Monaco coat, and no pants. Did I mention I hate wearing pants?

But seriously, enough about clothes. Recently, I've been thinking a lot about happiness and friendship.




It's my sincere belief that you choose your own happiness and how you let other people affect that, and one of the biggest lessons I learned in 2013 is that forcing friendships for the sake of saving face only sucks the positive energy out of those involved.

I don't see anything wrong in deciding for yourself that something (or someone) isn't working out for you anymore, and, ultimately, letting go. When we continue to try and value something that's long been past repair, we lose sight of what we should truly value in our lives. There is one person in particular, however, who has gone to great lengths to do the unthinkable to me. I never would have expected any of what this person has done and it breaks my heart every time I think about it. But I've forgiven this person and moved on with my life because there's no sense in dwelling on what brings you pain or suffering.

At the end of the day, people will be the way that they are and treat you however they please, but it's up to you to decide how you're going to react. The beauty of the mind is that it has the power to alter your physical state. If you want to be happy, all you have to do is focus on being happy, and it's really that simple. They say that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, so keep your circle tight and surround yourself with great friends. Don't forget to reciprocate, though. You can only have great friends if you are one.
