Right now I’m looking at photos of my friends and finding at least one beautiful thing about them- even people that I’ve traditionally considered ugly.

How I did it
It made me
eh 
How I did it: I went to the movie theatres with a friend, paid for my ticket, sat in a seat, and watched the screen for 2.5 hours while the movie played in front of me. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel productive 
How I did it: I have a gmail account, through which I created a blogger for my favorite happy things. All of the things that make me happy will be on this blog, and I'll watch as the list expands and expands. Read how I did it…
It made me
so happy!
How I did it: I found the show online for free at sights such as surfthechannel.com, which list free links to the show on sights all over the internet. It's so incredibly easy to stick with because the show is amazing! I loved watching it, fell in love with nearly every character, and wish that it hadn't been canceled after only 15 episodes!

Busy
6 months ago
I’ve been reading constantly, watching more TV, and talking to new, interesting people. Nonetheless, I still have a lot of free time on my hands. I feel like I never have time to do what I want, despite having way too much time. I suppose it’s like someone told me yesterday, “If you want something done, give it to the person who already has too much to do.” Meaning: someone who has nothing to do with get nothing done. I believe it. And for me to get anything done I need to work on a lot of things at once. I’ve been exploring new websites, opening up connections, and generally trying new things. Hopefully this will be keep me occupied. I’m optimistic, definitely. Just need to force myself to do things sometimes.
OKCupid

So, meeting new people on OKCupid has been very successful. I think I still need some practice to completely be done with the goal of meeting new people, but I’m definitely getting there. I’m becoming more convinced that there are people out there worth meeting and I shouldn’t get discouraged when there aren’t any at the moment.
