Hmm..

As I mentioned earlier, I'm going thru what I am calling an "existential crisis." I also mentioned way back when the book "The Happiness Project" I read in the beginning of the year.

Over the course of the past few months, this is something I've really been struggling with: happiness. contentment. peace. joy. all of those types of emotions. Not that I haven't been feeling them, because I totally have, but sometimes...not so much.  It's kind of a weird feeling, when you go from always being a happy person to...not. Now, some of this was brought on by an attempt at a new birth control, which legit made me CRAZY & I lasted a month on it, and a little bit of sadness from the whole Nate ordeal, but still.

I just started the next chapter of my life and the transition has been slightly terrifying, totally overwhelming, totally thrilling, inspiring a variety of emotion in me.

So. I decided to re-read "The Happiness Project." I love the idea & I've been toying around with the idea of doing my own version (likely shorter. I doubt I have don't have the focus to do it for a full year!!) but it's defintitely intriguing enough for me to want to do.

The first chapter she details what she calls her "Splendid Truths" & "Secrets of Adulthood." As I was reading I starting thinking of some of my own...except my "Secrets of Adulthood" are actually "Secrets of Your Mid/Late Twenties." (& b/c I am just not comfortable calling myself an adult quite yet.) Stay tuned, b/c I'm thinking this will be a fun project.
