Inspiring Quotes to Reignite Your Motivation
Humor can light a fire under your tuchus just as well as a cat challenging you to, "Hang in there." That's because humor's connection to surprise means we access a point of view we don't already have. Sometimes that point of view undermines the very roadblocks to our motivation. Maybe we're wrong from the get-go to be so concerned about particular goals and values, and you might not know that until someone has made fun of them.

Struggles of Early Adulthood
They say that one of the most transformative periods in your life is that of adolescence. However, I didn't see that as a major turning period in my life. My mom always says, "your twenties are the hardest time." Well, she sure is right. I didn't realise that adulting was so tough. What was worse was coping with shattered assumptions: the world is a good place, we can trust people, people are helpful and kind. Well, these are all generalisations

Is Happiness a Choice?
It's Abbey again, and I had a friend recently tell me that they had never watched the sun set. It was on their to-do list, obviously, they'd just never gotten around to it. It was like I plan to visit all of the 50 states. Well, they plan to see the sunset. Comparable lists, right?

Happiness?
As I've gotten older, I've really come to realise that happiness comes from a lot of different things. For me, when I was younger, happiness would come from maybe toys or playing, then through pre-teen and adolescent years, it came from friends, trying new things and new experiences; but as I'm now approaching my twenties and at the end of my teen years, I've come to realise that sometimes the smallest of things are what make me the happiest.

70 Little Things You Can Do When It's Raining to Stay Positive
Rainy days can be annoying, but I kind of like them. They are essential for nature and make you appreciate the sunny days more. Sometimes it is nice to slow down, stay warm and cozy at home sipping your tea, and relax.

So it's far too late for me to be awake right now, but I can't stop thinking about something. I've recently been taking advantage of the supposedly "open" message boxes of celebrities I follow on Instagram. It started off as just me responding stupid things to their stories, having zero expectation that they would actually see it. And if they so happened to see it, I highly doubt they would respond to me. But then I started using it as another way for me to actually try and reach out to these people I think so highly of. I'd catch a glimpse of something we had in common that we could relate on and I'd use it to try and form some kind of connection through it.

Importance of Mentality
In Search Of Self: Being blessed with the ability to write is having access to endless possibilities and freedom. With our writing voices we are able to create art with our words. Every piece of creative literature speaks a different person's mind. Creating and finding your own writing voice can be a powerful tool, and allow you to explore different methods of expressing yourself.

The Adventures of Captain Snapchat
If you are able to come to terms with the next thing that I am about to say, your life will become somewhat easier. I’m sorry to be the bearer of this news, but you need to hear it. Nobody. Gives. A. Shit. I’m sorry but it’s true.

Thoughts From a Writer
While watching one of my favorite movies, I came to the realization just how amazing it would be to be able to do what you love every day and night; to dance or play music or sing or draw or even write all day every day. However, it wasn’t until I really thought about it did I really get what was happening to me. For someone like me, I couldn’t possibly write like how someone danced. Both share a part of the soul, as does any passion, but writing is one of those things that could dwindle due to not nurturing. For me, I have all these words and stories playing in my mind like movies, but so rarely am I able to express them like dancers are able to express the music inside them. I understand that dance is nothing like writing, as one involves the body and the other involves the mind, but they both help people showcase the passion they have in their souls. They both help to share beauty in the world.
