The Butterfly Effect

Some may say that the butterfly effect is negative when they use the phrase.

In this instance, it is quite the opposite. When I'm happy, I spread it and make other people happy. When I'm in any other mood, and people try to change it, it affects them in a bad way. They lose their happiness and gain annoyance.

I realized that when I do things myself like get out of the dorm room and go to Tesco or just down the street to a tiny park, I get happy. Just a few days ago I found a cute little street and a tiny park nearby. I stopped in the park thinking I should take a break from walking and doing things just to get them over with. I sat on a bench and thoughts came flooding and they were peaceful ones too. I just sat there looking around the park and up at the sky. I closed my eyes and breathed.

I think getting out and going to a park helped with my sleep. I wasn't feeling to hot the other week, I wanted to do so much, but had little energy to do so.

When I sat there on the bench, I thought, "I need to slow down."
I really needed a break from everything. My head was hurting with due dates and timelines of projects and events. It was overwhelming.

I am so glad that I figured out what made me happy and why I was such in rut. Also, listening to reggaeton makes me tired for some reason. I'm listening to some now and I'm trying to stay awake, but if I'm up and dancing to it instead of sitting, that is a whole other story. In about 24 days, my sister is coming over to travel with me around Europe.

We have a hotel for one night in London and then after that, we are visiting 9 cities over the course of 20 days. This is going to be so fun!! We'll get to see old friends and see how much they have grown, especially a young lad named Geoffrey. When I first met him, I had a tiny crush on him.

Well, here's to a fun adventure!!
