Still going. So much yet to be accomplished, but that’s the beauty of life. So cherish living in every present moment.

34 years old, and one year wiser, yet still so much to be learned.

but age comes to teach you the lessons will always remain, but the beauty is in moments where we breath life into what we teach and what we preach through simple action.

So blessed to be surrounded by loved ones new and old, by bonds that cant be broken even as forgotten as they fade.

To give is to get, and if you cherish every moment, and give your best, that every grain of life, comes to together like a hot bowl of rice.

So give into the moment, let your heart open up to all the wonderous moments life awaits.

Giving leads to receiving. And its no longer me but we, freely we give and freely we receive as one amazing force of energy.

Happii project

It’s a clear objective. Identify a moment, simple and pure, where you were truly happy.

Learn of the subtle nuances of what real happiness is. Things like the difference between pleasure and happiness, while also acknowledging the connection. Explore every avenue of happiness. From friends to family, to simply finding your own inner peace and understanding who you really are and who you hope to be.

Then find that true happiness is found in the love which unites us under one (crazy fucking) energy and for me personally never have I ever felt such an pure feeling of love and joy then on the dancefloor but maybe cooking food with strangers can be just as good haha

Ultimately Happii project is here to facilitate and replicate which ever moments bring us joy and unite us under one true love.

Name one moment that you were truly happy or one thing that is true happiness to you

Name a moment forgiveness was true happiness. The power of acceptance and letting go at the same time.

Less is More

Why try so hard? What’s the motive behind HAPPII?

Because it’s clear the road is far and long, with an endless amount of hardship ahead.

Yet in the surrender-less pursuit of happiness, we learn that’s true happiness is not found pleasure, but rather in love’s relentless power to forgive and unite our differences in selflessness.

Happiness is found in the love of living and giving. In the journey of trying and for the culture that defines us. So what culture do you want to be a part of?

But as loud as this message calls from the heart. Life teaches you to move in silence and through subtle action. Less it be so.

It’s not always all or nothing, sometimes the secret to life is understanding that everything is everything.

What in the hippie does that mean? It means that there’s two sides to every coin, and we end up on whichever side for whatever reasons and experiences. Realize that at the end of the day, it’s simply the same coin of many. So why get caught up in which side is right, but rather just live your life and move onto the next moment and you will find there are so many more precious coins to acquire.

So be at peace fellow brother and sister, and see that everything is connected. Everything happens for a reason whether you will it or not. That everybody matters and every moment counts. That everything is everything.

Happiness is for everyone to feel in all its beautiful shapes and forms. But more than anything the most valuable happiness is found in love. That pure love which is forged in forgiveness and acceptance; starting with yourself which then transforms into a selfless love for others, regardless of who they are.

Love is the bridge that connects everything to everything. Be Happii, be in love with life and everything it has to offer.

Recently I learned that I found my forever dance partner and there was absolutely nobody else I wished to dance with than you. I never again want to step foot onto a dancefloor without your hands in mine. I’ll earn your trust to trust me at times to lead the way. Dream with me that life is more wonderful than we could have ever imagined. That together our dreams go far, carrying all the love that transpired to get us here in the first place. Two great forces of love and family forged their way to bring us together so that nothing could keep us apart. As life goes, it will push and pull, testing such love till it’s refined into what we know as family. Clarity comes with the challenges which presents itself.

Through all the chaos, the lesson learned was in the movement of the moment. To let go and let your body move to the delicate frequency of life, held in the balance of good and evil, control and letting go. Accepting all that life has to offer, to reveal the present moment is filled with good. That I must do what I want to be truly happy, and that the love of my family and their hopes will carry on in my own actions. That I am in control of my desire, the destiny’s purpose is mine to discover and create.

Thanksgiving started lonely. Desperately running down the list of those to thank, I sent thanks to everyone around me because each and every one deserved such gratitude. In the moment my heart was numb but my mind knew better. So I leaned on my conscience to send forth my love to those around me. Distant and close, new and old I gave my heart out with sincerity. Not knowing what was to come of those words, questioning if they even believed them or even wanted them in the first place. Questioning if I even truly meant them. Now both my mind and heart placed tricks on me, yet I stuck to the lesson and moved on with the day, surrendering to what tasks laid ahead. Putting my best step forward.

Then she called. In that instant whatever mind and heart weighed heavy, was lifted by my soul in hers. Her voice warmed my soul and the day shined brighter with a glee that it was far from. My melancholy mood quickly shifted. My brother in law asked why I was grinning, smirking that only a lover on the other line could make me smile like that. It was true, she is my everything good. Everything has taught me to love myself, and the moment, to be at peace in the present. So I practiced patiently and trusted the day and the day brought me her. All I needed was to hear the cheer in her voice.

The day was young and the lesson to be good on my own had more to teach. With her love I was refueled to be my best self. I was good on my own. I would learn that the best part of the day wasn’t even with her. The best moment was when I got to pray before dinner. They insisted my devout cousin pray, knowing well that my parents weren’t too happy with their recently troubled son. Yet he hesitated and I seized the opportunity, with a glance to my mothers eye, and even though I didn’t deserve to give such a blessing, I let the moment dance in my heart, and I simply prayed for what the moment insisted. My voice trembled from my soul as my words were that of love and family. Oh family, the purest result of love it seems, even with all its imperfections. But maybe that’s the story of love found not in joy, but rather forgiveness and acceptance. So thanksgiving really stands for giving thanks to family.

The road is long and far, with so many blessings and curses alike, but the road is there. I know I’m right where I need to be and God has been with me every step of the way. No matter how stubborn and stupid I am, he has always guided me. He speaks to me in the depths of my despair and highest hopes of humanity. I fear failure because it would be such a damn shame if it was all just dreams. I must share the good news that God is good, that we are all good, and that love is real and meant for all to feel and give. Amen to life and everything it has to offer.

Great armies of emotion

“Lonely people have enthusiasms which cannot always be explained. When something strikes them as funny, the intensity and length of their laughter mirrors the depth of their loneliness, and they are capable of laughing like hyenas. When something touches their emotions, it runs through them… awakening feelings that gather into great armies.”

I was literally drowning in lost pleasure, so undeniably dissatisfied. The harder I tried to push away, the harder I missed you. So be it I’ve learned, life has led me to you and continues to point towards you no matter the distance or hardships. I honestly feel saved by you and your everything, I’m at such peace and with confidence having fully decided to love you unconditionally. Like straight, all in. Foreverever kind of deal.

And these feelings can fade. Tis life. But I know I will always be able to find our love again and there’s no one else I want to live life with.
