Introduction: Step 1

Welcome to my Blog
I suppose you've come here because you are very interested in what I have to say.
Although I can already tell you it probably won't be of much interest to you.
Sorry to leave you disappointed fellow internet user.
I feel like typing in bullet statements today.
The point of this blog is document the steps I am taking to make myself happier.
This could either be seen as an ambiguous and pointless project or a refreshing and deep psychological journey.
Sometimes I feel like this project may be worthless, but the more I think about it, happiness is a goal we should all strive for.
I mean like what is happiness?
When do we know when we are happy?
Maybe we feel happy when we don't question our own happiness.
It's crazy to think about haha.
I feel like when you take the time to reflect upon your life, you also take time to reflect upon the sadness; and sadness is much a stronger and longer lasting tool than happiness.
Then again I think, perhaps it's just school and all the work I do.
Maybe because I'm constantly working and getting little sleep it makes me grumpy and therefore feel more passive and less passionate about life.
Although a valid theory, hard work and sleep deprivation won't go away later. They'll probably get worse :/.
This is why I want to seek out the steps I can take to become truly happy :) which is a goal that seems simple enough, but thinking of a path to get there won't be.  To obtain and maintain a long term happiness is a life goal of mine, not just one of this project.
For example, last week I went to the orchestra room and played my violin for 40 minutes and I came out feeling more refreshed and calm than when I went in. To slow down life and do things that I enjoy really soothe me and I find it beneficial for my health. 
Violin music is one thing I really like to do.
I like to play basketball in my free time or soccer I suppose. Although my ankles usually don't hold up very well.
I also enjoy a good prank/ conducting a social experiment because I love seeing peoples' reactions to things. 
I wish to record myself conducting a few social experiments and put them on this blog to share the kick I get out of making them.  
Hopefully I will have done something exciting by next week so I can tell y'all about it. 
Till next time

  1. Obadeh, I'm creeping on all the blogs right now cause Hecky posted all of them on Moodle and the polls you have going on in the right column of your blogspot makes me question how seriously you're taking this project ;) #swag #loveyour20timeprojectdoe

  3. Hey Obadeh! I really like this idea, it is kind of similar to what I am doing for my 20 Time project. I think that it is a really good idea to work on yourself and make yourself feel better! Happiness is such a big part of life and it's a really good thing to make sure you are able to maintain happiness, I think that working on this will really change your life! Good luck with your project!

  4. This is so cool! I can't wait to see what you get out of your 20 time because happiness is something I'm searching for as well!
