Even though I'm living a life-long struggle with IBD and have daily chronic pain, I consider myself to be a generally happy person and would say that I have a happy life.
I wanted to share some things that I sprinkle into my days that I believe help me feel the general sense that I have a happy life- not despite the pain, but pain included.
Life is FULL of wonderful things, as well as lots of horrible things.
The world is particularly heavy right now, but any time I can break up the day with any of the things I talk about in this video, my heart feels a little bit lighter and I have a little more energy to participate.
Ps there are time stamps and lots of links to other helpful things in the description of this vid on YT

ok this sounds cliche but idk how else to explain it…
if theres a place to go, go
if theres food to try, try it
if theres art to make, make it
going on my first instinct of “i want to do __” and immediately going for it has made my days a lot more fulfilling. if i feel like a walk i’ll just take a walk idc what time!
there is so much potential for joy and meaning and peace in 24 hours. and im not gonna doom-scroll it away!

There are SO many great series out here these days, and this isn’t anything new or groundbreaking, but I’ve been watching Adventure Time since I was a little kid- I have watched it in full dozens of times at least.
I’m amazed every viewing at how I am able to understand new profound themes along with new levels of silliness.
The creator is basically a genius and I think it’s one of the most beautiful and underrated cartoons everrrrr

I’ve been obsessed with this app that identifies birdies based on their calls and songs!
It’s incredible how many different birds are in my yard at different times of day.
I’m so excited to use it while traveling too🙌
