30 days of bravery. 100 days of happiness.

Been seeing the #100happydays & #30bravedays projects for weeks now. While I've been interested to try it since the first time I stumbled upon them on Instagram, I couldn't really push myself from starting the projects. Blaming it on the procrastinator in me.

'Til one day, I was shaken to the core and found myself grasping for any bit of happiness I could find just to impede the onslaught of a possible big-time depression, which I couldn't afford & allow to happen (coz, believe me, there are times that it's more comforting to wallow in it).

And so I decided to raise the white flag and jump in.

When I filled out the form for 100 happy days, there was a question that asked what my motivation was to participate. And this was what I wrote down:

"To find happiness even in the most difficult moments."

Which, in itself, is already an act of bravery. And the reason why I decided to do the 30 brave days project at the same time.

Today is Day 1. To 100 & to 30, this early, I raise a toast to you.
