i’ve started buying a lot of books and reading a lot of books from the library. most of them are self help books and about different religions. i find these things so interesting and from reading about these things, i have learned so much.
i’ve learned how to be more simple. and in being “simple” you become less stressed, you dont worry about things that are not necessary to worry about, you learn what is important, and this makes you happier, more content.
i’ve also learned that you can be happy right now. so many people say “when i’m on my own, i will be happy; when i get this job and make this money, i will be happy” and so on. But all of these things will not make us happier, they will make us feel better for a short time, but not happy.
you’ve got to realize that you have so much already, and we cant take these things for granted. i was focused on all the things i didnt have instead of realizing i already had everything i needed. now that i notice these things, i’ve become more thankful for them and it has made it easier to see even more things around me that make me happy.
There is this amazing book i’m reading and i’d recommend it to anyone, its called Simple Abundance, A Daybook of Comfort and Joy. This book has taught me so much and its written very wel. Its one of my favorites

i found this homeless community that live in the woods behind a shopping center. so the other day we dropped off jackets and blankets to them. i was hoping to see someone and maybe talk to them but no one was there at the time.
i only have 2 weeks before i leave for bootcamp but i’m still trying to do things to help before i leave. i’m going to get flowers for every one in the nursing home near my house.
i had money saved up so i would have it between when i quit my job and before i leave for bootcamp. i have a lot left over because i didnt see the point in spending it, so i’m going to donate most of it to my church. theyre doing so many good things right now and i want my money to go to that.
