I was told that in order to make my thoughts happier, I need to surround myself with happy thoughts. I know that sounds a little strange, but I decided to take the advice. One thing that I love are inspirational quotes. I could spend all day on the internet looking them up. But buying those fancy canvases with certain phrases on them are expensive. So, I decided to take matters into my own hand.
There is this plastic box in my hallway closet. Inside the box are hundreds of pens, dry erase markers, erasers, and, most importantly, sharpies. We have a sharpie of every color and shade of the rainbow. I took about thirty of them, grabbed a notebook, booted up my laptop, and got to work. I was immediately lost to the world of words. I found quotes by J.K. Rowling, Walt Disney, Emily Dickinson, Anonymous. I wrote song lyrics from songs that were important to me. I wrote quotes from Looking for Alaska. I wrote quotes about music, books, and an Oscar Wilde quote talking about music and books (and flowers and the moon). Every quote that I saw that made me happy, I wrote in a different colored sharpie on my college-ruled notebook paper and taped to my wall. My wall is now filled with quotes of all kinds. I'm still adding to my wall. I took the advice. I made my thoughts happier. I wrote happy thoughts in happy colors on college-ruled notebook paper. And that has made all the difference. (The Road Less Traveled by Robert Frost will be added to my Happy Wall soon.) Leave a Reply. |
