Enjoy life more :)

Hi everyone! I hope your day is/has been really great. Marlene and I went to Mcdonalds to eat breakfast today with my dad. We probably spend more time at Mcdonalds than we do in our own homes. I try to eat healthy but Mcdonalds is really my weakness so what the heck we won't live forever. Might as well eat that extra slice of cake. We all are out here trying to find ways to help us enjoy life or even make it easier. Everyone seems to be thinking that there is only one way for everyone to be happy. There isn't, it's like trying to find the meaning of life. Everyone is different. They find different meanings of life and make themselves happy in different ways. 

Personally, my opinion of what the meaning of life is to me, is just to be happy. Everyone around is stuck in a rut, I find myself in a rut. Doing the same stuff on different days. You have to try to avoid that! You have to fill yourself up with imagination because you never know what you may find out about yourself. Do something you've never done before, look where you've never looked. Or even sit differently in a chair you always sit in. Any little thing can open up your mind to do something different. Even if you're not good at it! If something happens to trigger your mind into wanting to paint, don't let anything stop you. Who cares if you're not Picasso? Who cares if that show on TV is stopping from running to go get paint supplies? Turn your TV off and go outside. (I know I'm starting to sound like one of those weight commercials but I swear I have a point) I remember one time, when I just decided I was going on a walk. Just by myself. I mean, I was just sitting there ya know? So I was walking around and just decided to go to a dog park that's by my house because I've never been there before. I walked down there and it turned out to be the funnest thing for me. I mean I don't get out too much, sure. But just discovering what a place looks like for the first time, and how excited I got, made me realize something. What else is out there? What else can I go discover and explore? You don't need to go to freakin Ireland or anything, but hey you never know. It's the little things that trigger you into doing even bigger and better things. When I went walking around, I all of a sudden felt inspired to do my photography again or to paint or to want to do something outrageous. Like I said, these things trigger bigger things. One day you could be painting a picture of a man eating butterfly and the next thing you know, you'll be on a trip to Paris to visit some penpal or winning the lottery. So I guess the point that I'm trying to make here is that you have to make happiness with what you have and it will take you far. No matter your situation. It doesn't matter what happened to you or what you've done before, your eyes are in front! To see the present and future, not the past. You are the only one who can change your life, be happy and go do something for the first time. Just pls don't rob a bank cause they'll say that Tanya made you do it. Have a good night everyone!
