I got tagged by Joana and Julie for this one. You’re supposed to copy the entire list of months, but I don’t want the clutter, so I’ll just lead you to a post that has all the other months you’ll need.
Guidelines:
- Mention the person who tagged you and create a link back to them.
- Copy-paste the traits for all the twelve months (see below).
- Pick your month of birth (see below).
- Highlight the traits that apply to you.
- Tag 12 people and let them know by visiting their blogs and leaving a comment for them.
- Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve done it!
As for tagging, well, how about I tag the first twelve people (who haven’t done this yet) that comment on this blog? I would choose people, but most of them have already been tagged.

I was looking through my referral links and someone had searched for “lifes simplest pleasures” which led the person to this post. Reading through it again made me realize that life isn’t all that bad. Sometimes, you just need to try and focus on what the good things are. It may be hard, but it’s worth a shot to do.
A lot of those simple pleasures I listed are still, well, a simple pleasure. I’m not sure if I’m able to think of new ones though, but I’ll give it a shot:
1. Walking in the rain.
2. Being able to sit in a spot surrounded by nature, or as close as you can get.
3. Walking to the bus stop just as it arrives.
4. Seeing a cute little kitty be… cute.
5. Putting a song on repeat for days because you like it so much.
6. Having someone do something nice for you, even it’s a small token.
That’s it for now though. As I continued rereading the post I had written over a year ago, I realized that I had given myself my own pep talk.
The best advice I can offer is that life is always going to screw up “the plan” somehow and we just need to learn to deal with that. The best thing to do is to find the support of your loved ones because they care about you, no matter how absurd or ridiculous you think your situation is. Even if you don’t know how to fix it, just talk. One, it strengthens your relationship with your listening friend and two, it helps you get your troubles off your chest, even just for a bit.
A good friend of mine once said, “You never know who’s going to be your friend. You just gotta have faith in them to be there for you.”
Isn’t it funny? I mean, here I am, feeling proud that I can offer so much advice and when I’m in my own ordeal, I can’t think of anything. Yet, here I am, a year early in giving my own self advice.
High five to me for such great advice.
P.S. Happy Saint Day to me! (Today is Saint Maria Bertilla Boscardin’s day)
I believe that what makes us human is our insatiable nature. You can be a happy person for one day and then for the next, you feel as if you want something more. You are already content with what you have, but now you feel that there’s something else out there that could make you happier.
Why is that? Why are so many of us so tied into that thought? I don’t mean to say that we’re always looking for something better. You could be just perfectly content and happy for the time being, but then little by little, you notice that you could be happier if this or if that.
I don’t mean to say that you’re unhappy either. You can still be happy but want something more. Does that make sense? It’s like having that perfect ice cream cone and the only thing missing to make it extra special are sprinkles. It doesn’t lessen the joy you already have, but you know that if you had sprinkles, then it’d be perfect. But you’re still happy that it’s a great ice cream cone.
Do you think that there’s going to be someone who’s already gotten everything s/he’s wanted and there is nothing else? Or is that just death? To know that it’s the end and that when you’ve finally gotten what you want, then you can die? But that’s another topic entirely.
How do you cure the insatiable human?
