  • Recently got half my hair chopped off. ✂️ Mainly because my split ends were so high and damaged from these highlights....and that I only get a haircut once a year, at best. 🙈 So originally I went in for a trim, and after seeing the shock on my hairdresser’s face, I didn’t bother arguing and ended up with a hefty chop.
  • Not all those who wander are lost. ✨
  • I hope that you become filled with so much happiness that it heals every part of you. ❤️
  • Genuine happiness can only be achieved when we transform our way of life from the unthinking pursuit of pleasure to one committed to enriching our inner lives, when we focus on ‘being more’ rather than simply having more. – Daisaku Ikeda
  • It’s the wild ones that will set you free. - @kianaazizian
  • “The foolish woman seeks happiness in the distance. The wise grows it under her feet.” – James Oppenheim 👣
  • What you see in this photo: A happy girl in front of a picturesque scenery. What you don’t see in this photo: A very tired girl who drove 5 hours to get there, with another 3 hours to continue, and who desperately needs a shower and proper meal. But still a very happy girl to say the least. 😄 #europeanroadtrip
  • Random thought of the day: What do we dedicate ourselves to? ‣ Seriously, this concept popped into my head while looking at a cloud. 🙃 ‣ We often think about what we’re passionate about and what gives us purpose in life, but for myself, those things mean so many different things to me and I could never just choose one. ‣ But what am I willing to dedicate my entire life to? Spend every hour learning and growing and giving to? ‣ This could easily be a reiteration of passion and purpose, but it also is uniquely distinguishable from the two. ‣ For example: I’m passionate about travel and photography, but truthfully I would never want to dedicate my entire life to those two things. That’s why I don’t want to be a travel blogger or working professional photographer. ‣ What I am dedicated to is helping others, and THAT’S something I could spend my whole life doing. ❤️ ‣ So then how do I do that? Maybe I need to look at the things I’m most passionate about and give me purpose and start from there. ‣ At this point I realized I was going in a circle with these thoughts and the concept of “which came first, the chicken or the egg” started to come to play. ‣ But it was an interesting thought that came to spawn from looking at a cloud, and honestly I’d love to dive more into it. ☁️☁️

    55+ HAPPINESS QUOTES TO MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER

FAVOURITE QUOTES

"Our fingerprints will never fade from the lives that we've touched." – Remember Me (2010)

“If you have not taken the time to define what happiness means to you, what have your spent your whole life pursuing?” – Bo Bennett

"Try not to be a (wo)man of success, but rather try to become a (wo)man of value." – Albert Einstein

"Travel always teaches. The curiosity of the unfamiliar–whether it is a neighborhood or a country over–strengthens human connection and broadens the view. In seeing new sights and meeting new faces, we are reminded to rearrange routine and take the long way home every now and again." – Artifact Uprising

"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves." – Mahatma Gandhi

  • The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. ‣ These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. ‣ Beautiful people do not just happen. ‣ - Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
  • Guys, I’m running out of captions to write. #justkeepingitreal As much as I’d like to bombard you with inspirational travel quotes, do you guys want to bombard me instead? 👇🏼❤️😂
