It's not the start of highschool where I'm from so it's not a big thing, but for me it is because I'm finally going to a new school since I had problems at my old one. It's also a private school and I'll get to go with my two little brothers who are in 5th and 7th grade. So it'll be cool to be at the same school.

But most importantly I have this great new teacher. I've already been texting with him and sending him some of my writing (since I wanna become an author) and he said I'm the best writer my age he has seen and that he'll continue to help me out with it. He's also been very helpful in accommodating me because I have some mental health issues. He's the nicest teacher I've ever had.

There's also a writers club so I'll love to join that one. And my boyfriend is going to the same school (as his dad is paying all of our tuition lol) and they put us in the same class which means we'll get to sit next to each other.

It'll just be much better than my old school.

good day to all! I hope you’re all doing okay!! I’m in a VERY good mood right now! GIVE YOUR WORRIES! YOUR HAPPINES!!! YOUR SADS!! I WILL LISTEN AND RESPOND TO EACH ABD EVERY ONE!!!

So, I’ve been manifesting a lot of things into my life for a long time. And I finally figured out that this paradox is actually the realist thing in the world!

**So here’s the paradox**:

Whenever I really wanted something - that’s when it would never come.

Whenever I didn’t care if I got it or not - that’s when I got it without effort!!

So, I eventually realized that the feeling of wanting is a feeling of lack and that energy within you actually pushes what you want further away from you.

SO NOW, I only focus on feeling like I already have everything! I give thanks knowing that the only things I will get in this life is not my manifestations, BUT things that are even better than what I would want! Things I’m not even thinking about, but that would be amazing to have!

And now after working on shifting my mindset (takes a lot of effort but worth it) I’ve seen so many great things come into my life… but even better than manifesting things, life feels so great! It’s great loving the moment you’re in instead of trying to be somewhere else.

If you want a great life, remember this… life gives you who you are NOT what you want. Once you stop wanting things and focus on being instead, is when you actually start getting so many more things! (While actually enjoying the journey!)

That’s the paradox…. Now you know ❤️🙏

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by and interested in these magnificent, powerful, complex, intelligent creatures, the ultimate wild canids.

It has been a life goal of mine to SAFELY meet a wolf up close, say hello and get to touch such a wild, incredible creature.

Well, I am delighted to say that at a county fair about a week ago, I had that chance, at a traveling educational exhibition called Wolves of the World.

After the show was over, for a fee of $5, people were allowed to go into the pen with Phoenix, a captive bred eastern timber wolf. Including me.

I sat down on a stool and talked to him as he walked over, petting him underneath his chin, throat, and cheeks in the way his handler informed me he enjoyed.

His eyes were stunning, and I will confess that I talked to him the same way I do to dogs I meet, lol.

The back story is that I'm a single dad of three kids (amicable with split custody). Last weekend, we had a good day at the park, then decided to hit up Target for some snacks/toiletries. While shopping, someone asked me to help her get something from a high shelf. No problem. She thanks me. Then my 4 year old daughter chimes in and says "My Daddy is always helping people".

It didn't hit me until the next day. This is how my kids see me. Mr. Roger's quote on looking for the helpers always sticks with me. This brought on a happy cry when I realized my kids are doing OK and I was setting a good example for them.

Idk I’m just really really really happy because it’s really good I had a meh day so it cheered me up :3

I have just completed 180 consecutive days of attending a Morning Self development Ritual Club at 5:30 AM in the morning. But there is no one to appreciate me Coz my wife doesn’t like these kind of things. She says these things are waste of time. She never says, Thank you, Sorry, I appreciate you.

I just want some buk-up phrases from some one, some good words Which tells me that I have done something good....That’s it.....

I love my life so much. I am grateful for the opportunities I've been given, the people I've met, and the resources I've had available to me. I've gotten so far in life in the past couple of years. My life has hit a peak, and for months now it's only gotten better. Me and my wife are celebrating our 10th year anniversary in a few months, we both have gotten better paying jobs and we now have 2 dogs we love and cherish so much! I'm also happy to say I've officially been 1 year free of any social media drama, haha. I'm extremely healthy, social and fit, and still young. Can't wait for what life brings me next. I'll always be grateful to wake up another day in a life where I'm so incredibly happy and at ease.

A little while back I posted here about my snail mail club and I thought I would share someone else's feedback.

One of the families lives in Australia. This week the mum sent me an update and it was so heartwarming I thought I'd share it. I work a corporate job 9-6 to support this and to be honest THIS is what keeps me going, it feels so much more meaningful than my regular job and I always ended up feeling incredibly emotional when reading reviews.

The only reason I'm sharing this is to hopefully push some of you who are not sure whether to go and do something they feel is more meaningful, do it!!

Before one of their letters had arrived, the family went out to some nearby woods and the daughters wrote their own letters to the forest, thanking it for the trees and the animals, and left it on a tree. She sent me photos of it! She also mentioned there aren't any hedgehogs where they live in Australia, only echidnas.

The next day Prickly's actual letter arrived, a simple hello and nice-to-meet-you. But when they got home, the family had a little tea party of their own and placed the letter down next to the teapot. The girls were thrilled to open the letter and went straight off to draw pictures back for Prickly.

I just don't think the feeling of creating joy in someone's life is replaceable with any personal corporate work achievements. There is something so natural and wonderful about helping someone feel joy, especially a kid.

I hope this brought some joy and motivation to you too :))

good day my lords! Tis I! your humble jester! here to brighten your mood once mire’

Hey guys today is my birthday but my mind has been somewhat of a mess with everything that has happened during the summer and with the next semester of college starting soon. I could really use some positivity right now. Please and thank you.

Give me some positive advice so I can be happy.
