Things I Crave, A Month of Learning and Simple Pleasures

Hello everybody,
I am glad to be back with another post. I am sitting here in bed curled up in my blankets writing this post for you with a cup of chamomile tea with lots of honey in it, and a box of tissues. I have been sick and am losing my voice, I think writing a blog post is a good way to pass the time and refrain from straining my voice. So here I am with another text heavy post to let you know how I am getting on with my life.

It's been over a month since my last post on my blog and what a crazy month it has been. It's been filled with ups and downs but most importantly it's been filled with memories, life lessons and I have learnt a great deal about myself. This is something that I have been making a great effort to attend to over the last month. This brings me to a quote that I read a very long time ago that has only recently started to reflect my feelings. "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself" - George Bernard Shaw. So in short I feel like I am now very much closer to the person I want to become and the life that I want to create for myself. For the first time in a long time I am proud to be who I am because I have worked to become something I love. This is not to say that I am complete as my own creation. There is always room to grow and develop.

Throughout this journey to become someone I am proud of. I have been paying special attention to finding things that I am passionate about, things that I enjoy and things that I crave. Recently for me the things that I have taken a special fondness to are reading, art, tea (Of course), cooking and music. I have been enjoying the escape that listening to music far to loud has offered or the comforting rustle of a book pages, jumping on my bed to my favorite songs, dancing around the kitchen while I cook or clean. Creating strange and messy works of art. Including a collage on my bedroom wall of my favorite photos.

These things are all very simple tasks that I have always done but have recently I found a new

appreciation for the happiness that they bring. Now if someone was to ask me what I love and crave I would probably go on a rant and frantically explain my love for books, tea, nature, music, flowers, and freedom. But something that I love over all of that is the people that touch my life with their beauty. I just want to mention the overwhelming amount of support I have received from the amazing people that bless my life. I have a beautiful family that has always been supportive of all of my life endeavors, they have always offered me help, advice, love and a place to go home to as well as lots of hugs and kisses. I have precious friends that give me much happiness, awesome hugs, fits of laughter, shoulders to cry on, a place with a warm bed, someone to talk to, company when I need it and have shown me immeasurable kindness especially when I didn't exactly deserve it, but needed it the most.


All in all it has been a good month filled with countless blessings and new experiences. I have been getting involved in all the things that I love and letting them surround me and envelop me. Doing things that make me happy and disregarding the things that don't. This has been a nice cleansing period so I can hope to continue feeling better and enriching my own life. I want to remember to always make sure that I do things that make my soul happy and remain true to the things that I love and always be grateful for all the people that have come with me on this roller coaster of a journey.
At the moment I am feeling inspired and I am seeing possibility everywhere and I hope that some of this positive energy will rub off on how you look at your life.
