clearing out room for happiness. that & nothing more.

i was reading all new blog posts

(my absolute fave thing to do at work and something i am really going to miss with my new job)

and i came across a really amazing post.

with such great meaning and something i need to do.

tulips & tea

{you must read this}

it is all about making a clearing in your life.

clearing out the clutter.

of anything. it could be small or it could be huge.

in my case, i need huge.

dont get me wrong, as you can probably tell,

i LOVE my life.

& life in general really.

i just feel like i need a new start. with new aspirations, inspirations and dreams.

with new views.

and with a few start-overs and do- overs.

i don't want any weight tying me down.

i want to wake up each morning,

take a breath of fresh air.

and live my life drama and clutter free.

so often girls are hated because of their "drama"

and as a girl.... im guilty.

we hate when other people are dramatic.

but when we, ourselves dish it, it seems perfectly acceptable.

so i am decluttering that from my life.

i have decided there is no room for hate in my life.

this doesn't mean i am going to force myself to like people or things i don't want to.

this means i am not going to spend time hating them.

my feelings are being reserved for strictly happy moments.

and there's just no room for negative thoughts.

(peter pan theory perhaps?)

i have pondering this since my bestie's post.

and then today reading this post, it really clicked.

i want all my energy to go into relationships i cherish.

instead of people i could care less about.

(and there are a few friendships in my life that are in desperate need of mending)

and in the literal sense of "clearing out"

who doesn't feel better when their closets are organized, kitchens cleaned, bedrooms tidy and cars spotless?

it's instant gratification!

so thank you

analiese & jackie.

thank you for all your wise words and smart actions.
