The Beginning

I've been thinking a lot about happiness lately. As we approach the one year anniversary of my dad's passing it's got me thinking about life in general, I guess.

I've always said that all I want is to be happy. And I've been spending my time trying to figure out how to be that. Not that I'm no happy, but when it comes to my life, I don't want to waste time being unhappy, I don't want to work a job that makes me miserable, I don't want unnecessary drama in my life. I want to be content with my position in life. This all sounded so much better in my head, all my clearest thoughts are never conveyed via the written word, odd considering my chosen profession.

Well, I am sufficiently distracted. I guess what I will say is this, the title of this blog, "Give Me Something to Believe..." comes from the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, "Believe" by The Bravery. "'cause I am living just to breathe/I need something more/To keep on breathing for/So give me something to believe..." the song continues. That's the theme of this blog. My ramblings will follow my path to finding my something to believe, my happiness - whatever that happens to be.

I won't always have such downer posts, I promise. Though, I can't promise that for the next two months. It's going to be rough with all of the miserable anniversaries and also my dad's birthday falls on Halloween. I've been doing my best to be strong and carry on, but we all have our weak days.
