I was tagged by @madshelley to list 5 things that make me happy!

1. Finishing a costume and feeling transformed by it. I love showing someone a photo of a costume and their first reaction being ‘That’s you!?’

2. Having a long one-on-one talk with somebody. The key point is I enjoy hearing about someone’s day and them knowing I’m there to listen and that they want me to know. I feel important in their life. 

3. Singing in the car. It’s hard not to be happy singing along to something even if you’re bad at singing like I am.

4. Seeing my friends succeed. I’m not an envious person at all and feel extremely lucky in life. When I can support someone who’s trying their hardest I do- and to see them reach the stars is almost without compare. I believe people can do anything they set their heart on if they keep determined, to support that grit is one of those things I feel very lucky to do. Aka: I’ll read your cover letters, look at your portfolios, be a references, and connect you to people if you ever, ever need it. 

5. Moments of existential hysterical bliss. Being up at 4 am alone in a parking lot in the middle of winter, dancing in the snow and thinking how wonderful life still is despite the odds. When I think of how good my life is, one happy aspect after the other, I get very worked up and can’t help but jump for joy even during the worst times in my life. 

I’m gonna tag 5 people now!
