Stole this from
amyisacreepThings that make me happy:
1. My family
The bond between me and my mom really re-established itself throughout the last few months. We were always very close, maybe too
much for a healthy mother/daughter relationship, but between her getting into a new serious relationship, my puberty-from-hell and
eating disorder, we totally grew distand from each other. Now it's all getting back together. The rest of my family, Ed, my little brothers, my
dog, grandparents, aunts and uncles, the whole nine-yards, I saw them all today (except for one aunt and uncle, which I love the mosttough)
and they also make me insanely happy and warm inside. I guess by now they all know, but I have never talked to any of them about it,
but they made sure to ask how I was doing by quick one-on-one moments, with a warm and comforting tone, and eyes that told me they
were there for me.
2. My boyfriend
3. He's actually part of the family and I already mentioned him, but Happy, my dog. He's silly and lazy and never wants to go out for walks,
but he's a great little champ.
4. My room in Amsterdam (not my landlord though, fucking A-hole)
5. Reading. Magazines, blogs, books, articles, websites. Info info info, either for know;edge or leisure, I leech every letter I see.
6. Writing. I do it too little though. I really hope this coming schoolyear I can make this blog more about me and my life instead of me and my
eating disorder, even though the thought of that still seems far, far away. Old routines yearn for old behaviours.....
7. Grocery shopping for healthy foods
8. Applying for a new job tomorrow (helping elder people with tasks around the house, cleaning, shopping for them, etc)
Because I HATE the job I do now (telemarketing), it was challenging in the beginning but I want to do something worth my time,
make a contribution to society, feel like I am actually helping others or doing something valuable.
9. Going on vacation with Bart in the beginning of November. 7-10 days to the Canary Islands, Fuerta Ventura, Egypt, we're not 100%
sure yet
10. My fashion-sense. I can be really insecure about it at times because I can always find someone, on any given day, that I envy for their
pick of clothes, or special accesoiries, but I realize I can just get inspiration from that rather than seeing myself as less capable for
not coming up with that myself. Besides, I looked really cute and fashionable today ;-).
11. I am happy I have a good functioning body, and a good set of brains. When in highschool I could always notice the difference between
me and people that were, well, simpler of mind. I am no genius but I am smart and clever and a quick-learner and it's one of the things I
am happiest about to have been blessed with.
12. Movies
13. Alcohol
14. Bowling
15. Running
16. Money
17. Yoghurt + fruit
18. Whipped cream
19. Photographs
20. Animals (cute little ones in particular, but all really)
21. Shopping
22. Getting a tattoo with my mom
23. Living on my own
24. Friends (the sitcom)
25. Friends (real-life. i dont have many, but the ones I do have, make me happy a whole lot)
26. The sun
28. Chocolate
29. Being comfortable in/with my body, even if its only for half a day
30. Dancing
I will make this list longer whenever I have something new Iand remember, lol)
