HappYness

1. I would have to define happiness by having someone or something creating joy in your life. It would have to remove any doubt you have or sadness. Some people have happiness come in the form of doing good for others.

2. Happiness comes in many different forms for me. My friends do always make me smile and if I can smile and laugh and have a good time then I'm happy. My friends are always there for me and when I am down they can bring my mood back up which is amazing because I tend to get mad mood swings. Also my boyfriend makes me happy, sometimes, but mostly always. I don't know how he does it but he has a special way to cheer me up and make my day. Food makes me happy also. Like these peacan bars that I make... oh my god they are so good. I'm always excited to eat them. I can never be in a bad mood when I make them.

3. Like I said my friends make me happy as well as my boyfriend and family. They influence me a lot because I'm always around them. It's very rare for me if I don't see atleast one of my friends or boyfriend every day. And I always see my family no matter what. I'm really close to my mom. I tell her everything. And when I don't tell her something bad that happened I always feel guilty and end up telling her. It makes me happy to know that she can listen and tell me that she's been in the same position.

4.This is a great question because my actions affect a whole bunch of people's happiness. Especially my parents. They hate to see my sad or in trouble. It's then when their parent instincts appear. Also my friends don't like to see me do stupid things or make stupid decisions.

5. My greatest need in life would be love. I always feel that I needed to be loved and this could be bad sometimes. Because if someone else does something wrong and they could be mad at me some how I will apologize just so they will calm down and won't be mad at me. I hate when I do this and I try not to but it just happens. I never not had a boyfriend or some special person in my life. And when I don't, I search. which is another thing I shoudn't do but do anyways.



Cya!

The Past Quarter

Wow this quarter has gone by fast....

1) I really have enjoyed writing poetry. Well actually short stories were ok when I knew what to write about. But yes poetry was my favorite because usually poems just come to me more easily and I don't have to think about introductions or conclusions.

2) My strongest piece of writing would have to be one of my poetry pieces. Like I said poems come to me more easily so it's more fun. I like to think about my past and my friends past to think of ideas. Also love is always a good subject. I have a lot of that happening in my life 24/7. About 3 years ago I used to keep a journal and I would write in it anywhere anytime. I filled three of them with stories, poems and drawings ( I wanted to be a tattoo artist so I would try to do some cool designs or something).

3) I found out that when I write other pieces other than poems I do have to have a lot of preparation. I'm not good at coming up with story plots on the top of my head. So I really think that all those prompts that we did helped with trying to figure out where to start.

4) I really don't know what I would like to pursue maybe non-fiction but I'm not sure. We could work on our own autobiographies. That would be interesting to hear everyone's story. I hate writing dialogue so plays and screenplays would be boring for me.


THANKS!!
