Simple things make me happy. I have so many material possessions, that I buy thinking that owning such things will make me happy. Some of the things that make me happy are these:
- My family - the fact that we have created and continue to create legendary memories of fun and laughter. We have so many favourite movies and music that. I take spending time with my family for granted.
- My friends - same as above really. I love going to school and being with my friends
- Music
- Parks
- Beaches
- The Sun
- Good food
- Writing
I'm currently sitting in my room right now and I've had a wonderful day. I've spent time with both my family and friends. I went to a birthday party at the park and acted like a little kid again on the play equipment. I just ate a very yummy dinner that dad made me. Now I'm writing and listening to good music.
I don't need all the material possessions that I own. None of them make me feel as satisfied as I do now.
I wish everyday was like today. Simplistic but beautiful.
I've always told myself and others that after school I'm going to move out of Tasmania. Although, I've never actually thought about where I would move to, and why I would move there. I've always wanted to move to Melbourne - for the shopping and city life. I don't think they are good reasons anymore, plus it would be costly. I've also gone through a phase of wanting to move to Adelaide, but that was only because that was where the university I liked the sound of was there, but I don't want to do that anymore.
So what now? Fall inlove with another Australian city? Think about moving overseas? Or stay in Tasmania?
Tasmania is beautiful.
Tasmania is comfortable.
Tasmania is relevatively cheap.
I have friends in Tasmania.
I have family in Tasmania.
I have memories in Tasmania.
Do I move somewhere else to make new friends and memories? Or do I stay in my comfort zone, with my family and friends.
I don't know what to do. I can see myself doing either. I feel like though, if I stay in Tasmania, I will be left asking myself "what if...?"
