LOLOLOLOLOLOL IM LAUGHING SO HARD HAHAHAAHAH but I really am, and I hate the admit it but it’s genuinely such an incredible book. Little Kevin can write
Here's a lesson I wish I'd learned much sooner, so I'm passing it along to all my little witchlings and faeries of the Amyverse: Happiness is not something that we can cling to, it's an intense, overwhelming, incredible feeling that happens in bursts and, because of their futility, are meant to be enjoyed in that moment. Happiness isn't something we can wallow in like we can with depression or anxiety, and trying to hold onto it only causes it to slip faster from our grasp. Happiness is not a resting state of being. The absolute most that we can ask for is to become comfortable in a resting state of peace, not bliss, so that when those bursts of happiness sprinkle down upon us, we are present and open to enjoy them fully. I hope this helps someone, somewhere.
"I am awake when I feel creative, and I sleep when the depression hits"...MOOD, OKAY?? CUZ SAME LOL I also just started volunteering, at an animal shelter, and I LOVE it but the sacrifice is having to get up at 7am😭😭😭 Luckily tho I find it relaxing and fun so I can do it on 2 hours sleep cuz I usually stay up till 5 editing lmao
I am EXACTLY LIKE YOU with the sleeping thing I stay up late and don’t get up before noon. I can’t have a normal job because I don’t function on “normal” time. I think this way of life needs to be normalized because I’m done apologizing for it.
I have alexythmia (can't spell it) but it's where I never know what I'm feeling almost always, happiness I guess I dunno but I can definitely recognise like excitement??- also the yoga thing is real -
Girl we are on the same page about everything wtf 😅 Also yoga is absolutely wonderful for the soul, energy, and body 😳💖 I love "Yoga with Adriene" on here! her videos are easy to follow along with (it took me 5 years of doing it to do it continuously) 🤙 slaaay
i've never heard anyone say "true sadness" or "true anger" therefore, "true happiness" does not exist to me! any happiness you've ever felt is (true) happiness. thinking it's a lesser version, i think, is what leads to feeling unfulfilled and disappointed. oh and i also don't think anyone on earth has felt happiness long term. it doesn't sound natural. all emotions are supposed to come and go. if they were happy longterm they were probably on heavy drugs idk i've never done drugs before. anyway i ♡ u and your videos a lot
I cannot relate to your musings about happiness any more than i already do, sheesh. The comment below about happiness not being a fixed state though-so good
Omg you should start yoga by watching “yoga with adriene” on UA-cam I did 15 days in a row and went on a walk but ended up running a mile ! A mile for the first time since highschool (im 25 now) yoga helps SO MUCH WITH CARDIO! And anxiety
Girrrrlll I feel like on a real level you are my soul sister! It’s shocking! but I think true happiness is real - i think it’s easier to realize it when something that brings great pain or great anxiety and stress happens in life and then you take some time after and just anything that brings peace can bring happiness. I haven’t gone to yoga class since the pandemic but I started getting into in like 6 months before the pandemic and that was so therapeutic to me and I felt proud of myself and part of something and that brought happiness! Love you girl keep doing gods work!
Happiness is an emotion so we’re not meant to be happy at all times, it comes and goes just like every other emotion. However Joy which a lot of people think is the same thing as happiness but it’s not; joy is something we can always have.
UA-cam and TikTok are the only social media I use in the last couple years. Tiktok for mindless scrolling when I need and UA-cam for genuine enjoyment of content. Personally better for my mental health but social media is also peoples job now so I get it
I'm new to your channel and as far as the volunteering, I think it's wonderful that you want to help people but I would think whomever you are volunteering for would take any help for as long as you are to stay and help. I'm with you, you won't see me at 7am unless I really want to go there that early. For me, It would have to be after 10am at least. Please don't be hard on yourself. I really think you are naturally funny and entertaining. I will keep you in my prayers. Your a jewel. God bless you. 💜✝️🙏
U really reading a book by a man named Kevin
LOLOLOLOLOLOL IM LAUGHING SO HARD HAHAHAAHAH but I really am, and I hate the admit it but it’s genuinely such an incredible book. Little Kevin can write

Yes to the artist time thing and sleeping when the depression hits. Same.

Lol you could work at chipotle or at a factory but honestly I don't recommend either💀💀💀
It's hard to reset ur sleep schedule but possible it feels impossible at first after like 10 days it gets easier 💃🏽

Amy, have you ever considered doing stand up comedy? I think you would be so good frr

Normal people time is overrated. I choose the afternoon/evening shift and I make more money doing it ;) slay!
UA-cam algorithm knows me well cos this was suggested and I loved listening to you. Soooo relatable 💕

I feel like we get to choose what happiness is for us. So what do you want happiness to mean for you?
Amy are you okay, are you ok Amy?
