todays happiness
comes from within you...
as i was going through my old bookmarks i came across the blog "the daily love" and the article "what has to happen for you to be happy," caught my eye. the excerpt below really resonated with me. it's actually so easy to find happiness. so easy. i definitely think i make my life harder every time i forget this. something we have to remind ourselves daily is "happiness is my choice." we all know it well, but how many of us have mastered it? even though i consider myself a very positive person, i find that i fail on many accounts. rather than focusing our mind's control on random people or situations and how we want them to be, we should focus our control on maintaining our positive mind regardless of what we encounter. why? because we should want to be happy and diffuse any negativity. n'est ce pas?
"why is it so much easier for us to be unhappy than happy?
well, i think the answer lies in the idea that our brains are trained to keep us alive, not to make us happy. we have evolved so that we make avoiding pain more important than seeking pleasure. and in doing so, we tend to focus on what’s wrong – rather than on what we could be grateful for. and making this shift is what it’s all about."

thought of the day
love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

LISTEN TO ME: sky ferreira - everything is embarrassing
i know you're trying, i know you're trying
hurts so bad i don't know what you want from me
you know i'm trying, you know i'm trying
and now we're hanging on by a heartbeat
you know i'm trying
i was always trying
****
i don't usually listen to sky ferreira but i actually like this one!

meet unamused kitty
i checked out a pet store last weekend.
this is the room they kept all the dogs in, with the exception of unamused kitty- who i fell in love with.
i think what was most entertaining was how it was so composed in comparison to the dogs who were crying and barking in pain like the world would crumble any second if they weren't let out. unamused kitty don't care.
basically it hated its life.
quote of the day
“your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. they somehow already know what you truly want to become. everything else is secondary”

things that make me happy
my new necklace from spera, an adorable boutique in J3 that just had its opening this past week on al was road, dubai.
the store is adorable. i have to say that on entering i appreciated the layout but wasn't sure if i'd shop there. once i started trying on different outfits i fell in love with it. the material is great, the fit is perfect and there isn't a specific style. if all the merchandise could be described in one word, it would be chic. i know i'll be making regular visits!
this is one of my favorite outfits. i bought a black dress that i'm in love with. i'm one of those who falls for the curse of the black; i'm just too attached, but i loved this piece because it was a mix of black and color. love.
check it out as soon as you can, you won't be leaving empty handed!

quote of the day
“the advice i like to give young artists, or really anybody who'll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. if you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. all the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. things occur to you. if you're sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. but if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. you feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and i find that's almost never the case.”

some words that just slapped me in the face. i regret every time i put something on hold because i didn't feel "inspired"or because i didn't see the sign yet. happy thursday, make the most out of it.
