I think all we want in life is to do things that make us happy. The only thing we don’t expect is the amount of effort and dedication it takes to continuously make us happy. I am the type to get easily bored of things after a short period of time. I frequently pick up a new hobby and stop after a couple weeks. I’ve found that I do this because it’s a spur of the moment idea and I don’t actually put in much effort to learn more about it and practice getting better at the skill. The only hobby that I keep coming back to is handlettering and journaling. I attend a virtual journaling workshop every week or so to put myself back in the groove, and it does help a lot. It’s also refreshing to be in a supportive environment with other attendees and connect with one another. I’m pretty terrible when it comes to consistency and it’s true – consistency is key. As long as I continuously push myself to develop in the things that make me happy and free and provide me with a purpose, I’ll be a happy camper.
