You, and you alone…are in charge of your own happiness. I have been at the helm of my happiness since I knew I could, and that was at a very young age.

Many have spent their life or the span they were in mine, trying to ruin me.

It only made me much weirder.

I appreciate all things, and my eclectic and eccentric tastes are from valuing even the bad experiences.

This may offend some, but, please stop allowing people online to dictate beauty, health, happiness and anything else that’s only personally associated per person. Life is an individual experience. Are we lacking so much that our phones help fill in those spaces?

The grandeur delusional is that in order to function, we need the approval and disapproval of random lumps of people generally called masses…that we do not know. While everything is connected…begging for attention will definitely grant you a result.

But to fiend for something as fleeting as attention…yet art is looked down upon, or cast aside as meaningless. Pointless. Boggles my mind.

I’m not confused, I understand that most have lost their way…but expecting adulation from strangers for a fix makes you an addict…not even an attention…harlot.

And so I ask, what can you do to improve your life so it doesn’t seem mundane and pointless? Pretty pics, great outfits and amazing selfies are nice…but it’s similar to empty calories. It tastes good and does nothing for you.

Confidence comes from within, and I feel we all need to attempt to create…big or small. No one can put you in a box when you’re constantly creating.

You wouldn’t fit.
