Our lives are a series of phases. I’ve recently entered a new phase of life… one that I am deeming “I am an adult and it is very confusing and stressful and scary and fun and most of all worth it”. A long name for a phase of life, huh?
Well, it really is all of those things. I am a young adult, living on my own, supporting myself, and learning and growing a lot. The older I get, the more I realize that the less I know 
And the more I become enthralled with life and every single aspect of it from the worst to the best of moments, times, days and phases.
I’m finding that happiness is about a choice. And that choice really isn’t even about happiness at all, it is about gratitude. Gratitude and living in the moment have been two overriding themes in my life lately, and I find that when I am grateful to simply be alive in this moment, happiness ensues. I have SO much to be grateful for. No matter how difficult things can be, how tight money gets, how crazy and busy life is, there has never been a time in my life that I was not fundamentally okay. I have chosen to cultivate a conscious awareness of the beauty of every single moment that I am given, and to leave the past in the past and the future in the hands of the One who created me and loves me with an everlasting, perfect love. When I only have to look at today, at right now, my life becomes manageable. Anything beyond today creates anxiety and stress that I don’t really need. For right now, I am okay, I am grateful, I am alive and blessed to be so
All for love,
