    They say life is what we make it, but I'm not sure that is completely true. I don't think my actions have completely put me where I am right now. I have a new life at a new school, but it's like I can't leave my old life behind. I wish I would've moved with a completely clean slate and left it all behind. I can't change that, but I know now what I shouldn't do.

      Love is also a big issue. When most people go through a break up, they are bitter and spout off things like, "I don't believe in love" or other horrible things about the person they cared so much about. Being bitter seems like it could be easier at this time, but I know that I will regret it. I'll never hate him, I'll never be horrible about it. I just have to grieve now & move on soon. Life goes on and it gets better. 

       I believe in blessings. I know that whatever hardships are thrown my way are not too much for me to handle. I know that everything happens for a reason. I know that this time in my life isn't too much for me and this is all a blessing in disguise. 

       For the time, I'm going to count my blessings & believe that I'm in God's hands. Things will get better. I really should start blogging more.

Today is one of those days where I feel as if no one can relate to me. Today I feel alone. I should be more excited about life in general. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's everyone around me. I don't really know, but today is just one of those days. I should be more excited about Valentine's Day (which is tomorrow). I should be excited about having my own apartment (with Drew) this weekend. I should be excited that my best friend is coming this weekend. Quite frankly, I am just not excited about anything... I need to get out of this slump. It's not productive, it's not attractive, and it makes me feel so icky. I need some inspiration. I need something to "bring me back to life." Maybe some sunshine? Maybe a new hobby? Who knows... I just need something. I'm not sure what it is yet, but I hope I find it.

What can I say? The last few days have been crazy & I haven't had time to blog. We've been preparing to move into the new apartment, I've had tons of studying to do, and to top it all, I'm sick. It's been very very busy in my life the last few days. However, sitting here, I'm getting to reflect on the last few days and see just how blessed I am. I have a wonderful family, friends, and boyfriend. I always have to keep that at the front of my mind. I definitely can't wait to get better though. I shouldn't feel so icky so soon to move in day. Definitely say a prayer for me tonight. This week will be one of the most stressful weeks I'll have for awhile. It'll all be worth it this weekend when I'm blogging from my new home. I just need to relax. I'm going to do just that. I'm going to eat my applesauce (because that's all I can attempt swallowing with this sore throat) and listen to music and relax.

Much love,

Despite my amazing day, it has been a rough day for many people. Once again, I am forced to look on my life in a positive light. Things may not always be the way I necessarily want them to be, but I have it better than so many people. There are so many hurting people that I'm keeping in mind tonight. I'm having a very hard time smiling with all of the sadness surrounding my life. I guess I don't have much to say tonight. I would just encourage everyone to say a prayer for all of those who are needing it tonight. There are so many.

Much love,
Jovi

Today has really been one of the weirdest days. I have lots of weird days, but I'm starting to think that "today took the cake." It didn't start out being the best day. I woke up an hour and a half late, missed my first class, and got hit by a tree branch that fell out of a tree. Crazy right? However, I can't really complain. I have a really wonderful life. I have a family that loves me. I have an amazing boyfriend who loves me as well. I have the best friends. I have clothes. I have food. I go to a great school (although it's really expensive). I have everything I could ever want in my life. So when days like today happen, I just try to remember these things. I have to be constantly thankful because there's constantly things to be eternally grateful for. 

On another note, blogging is something that is apparently really cool to do. I can see that. It's like keeping a diary electronically. Well, not really because other people are supposed to read it. Oh well. I love sharing my life with people who want to listen, or read about it. I love my life. Lots of wonderful and crazy things happen to me EVERYDAY. I hope that my life can put a smile on your face. Writing about my life for me to read about in the future makes me smile now. I just really hope I keep up with this everyday. Or at least more than once a month. 

So, for the quote that is the name of the blog. "Happiness is a journey, not a destination." Life is a journey. Happiness is as well. We spend our lives searching for happiness as if it is a destination. Well, quite frankly, it isn't. Happiness is the journey. At least it's supposed to be. This is my journey. My happiness is my journey. It's my goal to find happiness as I go on throughout this earthly life. I hope that I really have lots of happiness along the way. I'm happy now. I hope I'll always be.

That's all folks, for today at least. It's been real. :)
