Hello and welcome to Next Stop, Happiness! I started this blog way back when as a life style blog. But life just kind of happened and I just started to live in the moment and take life as it came as my memories. During my time of growth and healing I started to acquire a new passion for a few hobbies. Some I let go of because it just didn’t work with my personality. The others, like the photo above, have stuck around and became apart of who I am today.

I have always loved writing and reading. Journaling came with ease; I started back when I was in elementary school and it just continued as I grew older. Now, I’m a bit more creative as I started to enjoy bullet journaling and use it as an outlet to destress from the day. I just recently started reading all over again. I am 100% glad I picked up this habit once more as reading truly does bring out your imagination and it also stimulates your brain. Before, I was super scattered with the way that I read. I really didn’t have a particular genre that I enjoyed, so that lead my reading journey to be on and off. I find myself very lucky that I found Murder Mystery and Thriller books to be my jam. Its super fun to read the who-dun-it books and the plot twist that I have encountered!!! I cannot wait to share!

I really didn’t know if I should share my love of music on here. I bought a vinyl player late last year and I have slowly started to collect my vinyl collection. I find this not much of a hobby, vinyl collection, but more of a “I want to share what I’m listening to, so people can also share what they’re listening to”. Vinyl records have been around for such a long time and the people who I have encountered who also collect, have been very sweet and also have great recommendation. I hope to find that here as well as I begin my journey of sharing my collection on this blog.

Well, if you have made it this far, I will express my gratitude to you! Thank you for reading my ramblings and I hope you do continue to do so. Nothing is ever promised, so I won’t promise I will be consistent with posting, but I will defiantly try my best to.

Just know that happiness is in the little things you do to make this world a better place. Be kind to yourself and be kind to others. Look out for yourself and one another. Until my next post. -C
