When I was writing this it made me relies that there are so many things that make me happy, I could go on for another 100 if I wanted to. There are so many reasons to be happy.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~
Happiness is an emotion that should be felt majority of the time. 
I want to be happy majority of the time and that is a goal I am determined to complete. Last year I was in a mental mind frame where I was miserable. I spent so long being unhappy and so long being unable to do anything to make myself stay happy. I would try and make myself happy but I would just go back into the mind frame were I felt miserable. It didn't really help that I had people meowing at me all year long and making me feel like crap.
But, this year is a new start. This year is going to be a happy year that is filled with positivity. Even if somebody does something to me that I don't like at least I know now  that I am not alone and that I shouldn't have to put up with it. I have better ways with dealing with bulling now than I did last year. I am going to be at a new school where nobody will know who I am and I'll be in a new environment away from all the people who have bullied me last year. Hopefully I'll be happier, hopefully I will be all-right, hopefully everything is going to be okay.
          ...Hopefully.

Right now I am happy and it is going to stay like that for as long as possible because I am never going to be as miserable as I was last year.
Never.

I have one thing to ask of those who read my blog. 

Send me a text, write me an e-mail, send me an Instagram message, send me a Facebook message because what makes me happy most of all is communication.
Tell me you read my blog, ask me how I'm feeling out of ten, ask me about the book I'm currently reading(I am currently reading an amazing book!!), Tell me about what book you are reading, tell me about your day, tell me about something that makes you smile today, send me a long message about the weather, write me a poem, tell me about your favorite place, ask me what my favorite book is, ask me what I'll name my first born children, tell me what you would name your first-born children, ask me what I got for Christmas or my Birthday, Tell me about what you ate for dinner.
 Just talk to me about anything because it will make both of us happy.

Am I happy?
Yes. This post took me a while to write because it took me a while to sit down and think of 100 things that make me happy, now I finally finished I feel so happy. Writing about the things that make me happy makes me realize how lucky I am to be who I am and how lucky I am to have and know such lovely, supportive, friendly, amazing (...there are not enough adjectives to describe them) people in my life. I am so thankful for the people in my life who have make me happy every day. I am so happy that there are good people in this world who care and love about me because that's such a blessing.

I am so happy that I am able to see the positives in life compared to a time where I couldn't. Life is so fascinating, Life is so beautiful. Life is worth living.

There are so many things to be happy about and I am going to think about all the positive thoughts so they will shine out of my face like sunbeams and so I can always be happy.
