The very idea of ‘happiness’ has been a little conflicted for me lately .My brain has a switch. When it’s on, it’s pretty easy to make me happy, but when it’s off, i feel like nothing in the world has the…

I love the idea of being in a marriage, when a relationship is established.

The following list is a set of ideas that can be mixed and matched together to suit you and your own tastes, and don’t involve Netflix (or chill). They don’t have to involve spending a lot of money, or be done during the evenings – many are perfect for during the day too!

1. Find the recipes for your favorite foods and create a formal, three course meal from scratch Put on some nice music, light some candles and turn off your phones.

2. Go for an unplanned drive until you find something interesting

3. Create a homemade spa, complete with a bubble bath, face masks, pedicures and nice-smelling oils for massages. Treat each other.

4. Go for a walk without direction or purpose. Just walk. Hold hands while doing so.

5. Choose a film that you haven’t seen in a long time, then watch it while eating your favourite snacks.

6. Find an interesting view, or great architecture, or colourful graffiti and take pictures with your cameras on the streets

7. Go out just for dessert and a cocktail.

8. Choose a town or city that you have never been to and visit for the day. You can save money on cheap travel fare if you book specific tickets in advance, and you could create a list of unusual things to see and do while you’re there.

9. Games night. Whether it’s just the two of you, or as part of a double date with another couple, many happy hours can be spent playing  board games.

10. Exercise. Swim, run, play badminton or tennis, go to the gym, attend a yoga class. Work up a sweat together and enjoy the endorphin rush. Many places offer introductory sporting sessions and taster classes.

11. Re-watch an old TV series from the beginning.

12. Surprise your partner. Give them no information other than what they should wear, and then take them to see a movie, or a play, or out for a nice meal.

13. Give each other a makeover. There’s lots of YouTube videos of couples doing each other’s make-up, and it’s a lot more fun than it sounds!

14. Go to a local comedy night. .... Churchill live would be the best

15. Take a class together – art, cooking, photography, writing, dance… Find a mutual interest and indulge in it together.

16. For those of you that enjoy singing, go to karaoke, or an open mic night.

17. Go to your local library and choose a book for each other that you think you’ll both enjoy..

Weekend is here! :)

 I mostly describe how i feel. But this is something I have pondered upon for a very long time. . So, here’s an honest attempt to put my feelings into words. .

The very idea of ‘happiness’ has been a little conflicted for me lately .My brain has a switch. When it’s on, it’s pretty easy to make me happy, but when it’s off, i feel like nothing in the world has the ability to do so. . The beautiful part is, little things make me happy & that’s how it should be. We often spend a lot of time looking for happiness. . But the truth is, there is no magic formula for happiness & for sure no path for misery. . Many of us, think that we’ll be happy ‘when certain things will go according to the plan’. .or ‘when I’ll marry the right person’. .or ‘when I’ll get a promotion’. .or ‘when I’ll be rich & successful’ & the list goes on. . What we fail to understand is that ‘nothing is ever enough’. . And while looking for our happiness in others, we are just deluding ourselves. However cliché it may sound, I’ll still say it – ‘if you can’t love yourself, you can’t love someone else.

social media is making it so difficult for us to be happy. We are constantly looking at other people’s posts and think – ‘wow! Their life is perfect! I wish I could have that’. .It’s good if they are happy, don’t let that come in between your happiness. Don’t compare. I guess accepting that other people have it better is an important part of finding happiness.

Let your mind wander. You are not a victim. You control your reactions. You have a choice. Don’t be fooled by your emptiness, there’s so much room for happiness. . I am trying too, walk with me .......................

So there’s a comfortable and cushiony feeling that you get when you know you’ve got more time than you feel you need. You can simply look at your watch or calendar and think ‘yup, that’s my reassurance right there’ until you turn away from it and your reassurance vanishes into the other end of the hourglass.

Time is that friend who would promise to wait for you at the parking lot when you’re running late but somehow isn’t there when you arrive. They’ve just left you, without warning, when you were sure they’d wait.

I’d also compare time to those incautious moments where you swipe and swipe that card without ever checking your balance until you hit up that cash point one day, and feel robbed (by yourself), of your own money. Like, how did you miss that? How did you spend all that money (or time in this case) and fail to keep count? (A part of you believes you have) (But you haven’t) (Not as much as you thought you have) (Anyway…)

You sleep. You wake up. Suddenly everything is different. Or at least something is. The loss of something you cherished has left an imprint on your cognitive skin. Or maybe it’s the presence of something that bothers you. Who knows. Different people. Different lives. Different scenarios.

Although there is a constant.

There always is.

It’s the waves. The ups, and the downs. The presence, or the absence.

Sometimes you want to make someone happy so bad that you lose your happiness in the process.You become this miserable soul who's patiently waiting for someone to change your situation and makes you smile.The thing with life is no matter what you do and how many times you did it, all someone will remember from you is your bad actions.What I'm learning is to concentrate on myself and focus on everyone and everything in my life who's giving me a source of good energy.

Sometimes I like to just reflect on my life, where I've been and what I've seen

I think about the people I've met and the people I've lost

I think about the good and the bad and realise if I looked deep enough there was still good in the bad

The greatest version of me to date was formed in captivity

Away from the distractions of my normal life I was able to see clearly for once

I grew into a stronger woman and for that I can only give thanks.

I think about how hard it is to see the light when you're in darkness but believe me it's there

The longer you look for the light the more you'll appreciate it when you find it

Life has it's ways of testing us

It can make us lose our minds and abandon our faith because we fear that there's no way out of this maze

The problems get bigger and you become weaker until you're brought to your knees begging God please!

"Please, I need you. I've always needed you, I just didn't know"

It's at that point when you're losing the will to keep pushing and the people around you are telling you not to give up

That is the moment when you make a decision that will affect your life

You either give up and let that situation defeat you

Or you fight back and stand firm knowing that you cannot be broken

That's how changes come

When you break the cycle of negative thinking and start birthing positivity

You begin to focus on your blessings and embrace the past because it has prepared you for the road to success

When you look for that little bit of light you'll forget you're in a room full of darkness.

There will obstacles and you may fall flat on your face trying to find your way in this dark place

But you'll make it because you know your destiny
