it's your job to find something to be happy about

note to self: find inspiration in the little things

There is joy in simplicity. For what reason should you seek simple, small joys?

For no reason. None. You don’t need a reason. You only need to be breathing to enjoy your life. You don’t need a reason, and you don’t need a reading to tell you when you’ve been neglecting yourself.

That shit that lights you up from within, gets you excited to be alive and go after your dreams, it’s everywhere.

Admittedly, it’s not always so easy to find inspiration in everything. It’s much easier to make excuses that allow you to put off joy. Sometimes you don’t find sparkles around every corner. But it’s up to you to look for them. They are there.

It’s normal to neglect joy… because joy is a job. You were hired for one very important job when you were born: take care of yourself and feel fucking good.

As my fav, Gala Darling, says, “Feeling good is your job.” It’s your fucking only job! Forget about the “job” that sends you a paycheck. At its essence, your life is meant to feel good to you, and it’s your only job to make sure it does. This is your real job.

So this reading is a note to myself and a reminder: there is inspiration everywhere, every single day. It’s up to you to find it. It’s your literal job, and it’s the most important thing you can do for yourself right now. So go look for it.

Inspiration: sunbeams, neat rocks, finding a feather, penpals, the sound of the wind in the leaves, a cat’s bunting against your calves, steam swirling up from your coffee mug, getting into cool sheets at the end of a hot day, doing something kind, being barefoot in the grass.

Why shouldn’t you be happy? For no reason. There is none. Instead, find happiness for no reason <3
