This!!! Be confident enough in yourself and your own happiness that comparing no longer matters. There are a million ways to create happiness but greed, spite and comparison are never on that path. Meditate, breathe deep and really focus on what creates a space of joy for you. #emaselegance #meditation #meditate #meditatedaily #meditateeveryday #meditateeverydamnday #meditateandlove #meditateonhappiness #whereisyourhappyplace #whereisyourhappiness #stopcomparing #choosehappiness #choosemindfulness #mindfullylive https://www.instagram.com/p/B6YONLMgFGg/?igshid=9muhrs8j51tn

The place where I feel happiest or safest - [DWE #1]

The place where I feel happiest or safest is one of the best ideas to think about when you feel alone, depressed or anxious. If you are anything like me who loved life way back when all of it was pure magic and fairy-dust; then chances are you are struggling with finding that happy place in today's day and age.

As a teenager, there was a time when I thought of it all as nothing but pure magic and wonder; a time when I didn't know the concept of 'paying bills' or 'working a job'. A time that was characterized with ideas for the future and playing games such as Halo. A time that seemed to be filled with constant ignorance to the future, come to think of it.

Around my sophomore year of high school, I had built my first computer with a Quad Core i7 2.6 GHz CPU (very old) and a crappy graphics card. Now, I don't want to bore you with all the details of this ugly machine so let's continue. Once I had built it, I placed it in my bedroom at the time in my parents house and surrounded it with what resembled a 'fort' of some sort. This was my place - to learn, to develop, to grow, to understand, and to have fun.  What I had built was not just a computer but a way to escape and feel secure. Often times one of the magical games I played was Maplestory, a game that was basically a world of magic. All throughout high school me and my friends played this.

About a year whizzed by, with the holidays coming up, Thanksgiving to be exact. My cousin had driven into town to enjoy some time with me and my family. That same week, I had 'rented' my friends' XBOX 360 to play with. It included Rockband, Halo 3, and some other games. My cousin and I played this object of wonder for hours and enjoyed our time together. Little did I know, this was the last time I would feel complete and utter bliss, comfort, or anything remotely close to the feeling of pure magic.

As the years progressed, the magic disappeared, I hoped to recreate this environment. Hobby after hobby, event after event, day after day, year after year; I struggled to find a way back to this magical place where I felt so comfortable. Even now as I write, it doesn't feel like I'm at such a place. It feels like I can never reach this magical place again. It feels like I am struggling to come up with writing content. It feels as though my head (mind) is in the right place but I just don't want to do anything. It feels like I keep saying 'it'll all work out itself' and that I don't have to do anything. Do you feel this way sometimes? Do you feel it now? Do you feel like you just want yourself to be put on autopilot for a year, jump into the future, and pick up at a successful future? This is exactly how I feel. Thinking this way can't be good. The only thing I can think to do is write what I am feeling and hope and pray that maybe some of these words that I am writing right now will stick or magically cause my future to become a better one.

If I were to some how invent or find a time machine, would I go back? This is a very intriguing and deep question; on the one hand I would, to find out what conditions made me feel so comfortable to recreate it in the future; on the other hand, I don't think I would due to the fact that I may find myself lost in the past and wanting to stay. What makes us think about wanting to travel back in time? Is it out of wanting to change it or revisit it? This kind of thinking is very psychological in nature and is often times a result of depression. The best thing you can do when you feel this way is to remember the memories but don't live in the past. Use the past to learn from and live in the present while looking toward the future.  Live one day at a time and treasure each day.

Stay positive my friend,
