A Pursuit of Happiness

Hi hi hi,

So I watched a few documentaries, had some epiphany’s and now I want to make further changes in my life. This blog is about mine and lily’s journey from this miserable existence to actually living. Recently I was studying for my Developmental Course and while learning about friendship and sharing and posessions I realized how cluttered my life was, philosophically and materially. We place such importance on things, things that are made by companies to be wanted by us for no apparent reason. Why do we need iPads, laptops, mp3 players and why do we find them so important? I’m going to try do some spring-cleaning in my life and try and get rid of material things in my closet on my bookshelf and also try and realize that those things aren’t important. I’m probably going to be travelling with Lily this summer and things like that should define my life, not a new iphone. Moments with friends and family, experiences, adventures, travelling, meeting new people, overcoming fears and challenging onself thats what it should be about. 

Further changes…my love and enemy, food. Winter’s over it’s time to get back in shape and get happy. Exams are almost over and I want to start eating well again now that most of the stress will be over. These past few weeks have been horrible and my body’s felt my sleep deprived nights and assignment stress, my skin has too. I want to eat as clean and fresh as I can. Now I’m no extremist and I like my pastries, admittedly I also don’t have a lot of self control so my new venture won’t be anything drastic but it’s time for something in my life to change. So here goes.

Love, Lori

The city looks so peaceful from up here.
Anything is peaceful from one thousand three hundred and fifty three feet.

Common summer, come quicker so I can do this and not worry about anything.
