What Truly Makes Me Happy

As life is a difficult subject, I sometimes find myself struggling to figure out what my purpose is. Do you know what yours is? Why do we get up out of bed to go work every week til it's time for us to retire? We live in a country of freedom yet I feel chained down and stuck. My whole purpose of this writing is to truly figure out what makes me happy. What could I do everyday and be content with my life.

is my true happiness maybe being a millionaire with nice cars and expensive things? Perhaps not so much. I'm a simple kind of guy who doesn't need accessories for every item I own. I mean does your car really need an expensive marble countertop with cookie jars imported from Switzerland? Hey, that sounds cool but it doesn't attract me. I want to live a life that makes ME happy, not to impress other people and what they think.

Hmm, thing I like.. Oh I know! Ever since I was a wee lad I've always fantasized the caveman and cowboy era, when men had testosterone and woman were, well woman.. I liked being raw and organic and I've always strived to catch my own food and live off of my own two hands not needing money to accomplish something! Have you ever been camping? If not, I can't say you're missing out because, I don't know what you like. But me, being connected with earth is fascinating. Anyways enough run ons, let's actually talk about things I adore in life.

I love to fish, I remember the first time I went and the time after that! I got out of Elementary school that day with an awesome Spiderman fishing pole waiting to be used. My dad had bought me it and we went down to Jherico Lake. I didn't catch anything but sure did give it everything I got. I continued that practice and now, well no matter what situation you threw me in, I'd be able to pull out at least one fish... Well maybe, it depends on if they're biting. The times they wouldn't I always felt as is its God telling me not today, like I didn't deserve them or maybe to struggle and figure out other ways to go strive and figure out how to eat.

Gardening. That's right I said it. Even though I never really have grown anything except a couple hemp plants it's something that has always intrigued me. My mother has a large garden in our backyard who doesn't let me grow anything because her peppers and onions always take up all the space. However there is nothing more fulfilling then eating something you have nurtured for and grown. The taste is pretty incredible too, compared to vegetables at Walmart. I get a sense of security that if I don't catch any fish, I can at least have a hearty salad calling my name, it's even better when combined with fish!

Heres one you didn't see coming. FOOD! We can't go without it. I've met lots of people in my life and its quite sad to see the majority of them didn't even know how to cook for themselves. At a young age I was in love with the Food Channel and cooking shows. That's inspired me to be creative and make delicious food! Fish tacos, fajitas, and just about anything else that is edible. I'm not a picky eater so what ever concoction I mix up tends to be alright. Life is too short to eat boring foods, spend your next dinner mixing up your favorite ingredients and let me know how it went.

When you look in the mirror what is your first judgement? Mine is"you look good today". Since birth till today I have been a more lean male. I love getting my exercise on and making my heart jump out of my chest. Wether it's bench pressing a sad amount or kayaking the entire lake, my actions are more labor filled instead of taking the easy way and putting a motor on my shoes and bike. Don't get me wrong, motorcycles are sweet, but the way people in my city drive, not so much. I strive to be active daily and will remain doing so, it brings positivity, and confidence into my life

I'm a Summer baby so anything involving swimming, an occasional beer, and cookouts were just some of the things that made sunny days sweet. My favorite temperature is 75 degrees. I don't really know where Im getting with this one because, ever since working outside jobs Fall has really gotten my heart. I can't stand extreme temps 100 is just over kill unless we're talking a hot tub. If any of this makes sense I like weather that is just right, not too hot, not too cold. 75..
