THE CHRONICOLES #5: CURRENTLY THANKFUL FOR

I used to keep a notebook on my nightstand that said "be happy" on it in gold. every night, I wrote down three things I was grateful for that day. it was a tip I'd read over and over again while researching ways to literally be happy.

It worked for a while then life showed me how unpredictably cruel it could be and in a case of rage, I threw the journal out. I haven't written in one since, but I told myself in the new year, I'd do what I could attract that kind of positivity in my life again because tbqh, it's exhausting carrying the weight of unhappiness.

with that being said, what am I thankful for? easy...living within walking distance of this incredible view.

it's been a lifelong dream of mine to live where I do and I've fought to be here for the last five/six years. at first, I thought I wanted to live in manhattan and believe me, if I had the opportunity to, I would move in tomorrow...but right now, I'm beyond content in my little city, jersey city. it gives me the opportunity to take in the most powerful skyline I've ever seen...every.single.day.
