100 things to be happy about

       Lately, I've been through a pretty tough time and I started reading more about how-to-cheer-yourself-up. One of the things I found on the internet based on this topic was "Take your time to remind yourself who you really are". So I stopped for a sec and thought "Who am I, really?" And I had no clue what the answer should sound like. Starting that moment, I began to look through my old, dusty books and I found this little wonder, which I have bought it about a year ago, but didn't finish it. So I opened it and a bright smile infested my face. 





   This is the only thing that could bring a smile on my face in the most critical moments, so I thought I'd share a couple of the "things" with you, so that I'll make you happy too (hopefully). When life gives you 10 reasons to cry about, show life that you've got 100 random reasons to be happy about:

1. getting a really good haircut

      After reading this, I found the answer to my question in the first paragraph. There should be no answer. It does not exist a "right answer". In order to find who you are, you have to do what you like, be happy and make sure that you experience as many new things as you can.
     Well, this was it for today. I hope this list brought you a tiny smile on your pretty face :)
Until next time, live your life at your fullest, fellows! xx
