WooPee OPEN WEEK

This week I have really tried to tackle what it is that makes me happy. As a young woman, I find that my life is never as fulfilling or productive as it is when I am happy. One thing that can always make it better is music. I love to sing and weather I am happy, sad, frustrated, or just plain old over-whelmed music is one aspect of my life that always seems to help me conquer whatever the problem it is. Writing also helps to calm me down. But what is it that truly makes me happy? That is a quest that I will probably take a few times in life. I have always been a person who likes to make everyone else happy, and I tend to forget that I am a person as well. Though this I not always a bad trait to have it is sometimes a burden to always feel weighted with the baggage of everyone else and to not even know it makes it even harder. Those days when I am so exhausted that I ant do anything but sleep, and to wake up still tired makes it worse. I have to learn how to help others and help myself as well. My grandmother likes to call it the martyr syndrome; helping everyone so much you eventually almost completely drain yourself. But what can I say everyone in my family is like that. I haven’t learned to be any different and in many ways being who I am makes me happy. I have a few bags that I need to let go of though including: fake people and drama. There are also a few bags that I need to pick up too such as: making new friends, taking better care of myself, and making my close friendships closer.
