Welcome to The Muses of Happiness!
These musings are about a journey back to happiness. Three years ago, I began a two-year trek through the wilds of a toxic workplace. By the end of that time, I was in depression and suffering from acute anxiety attacks. While I did things I liked and loved, the enjoyment of them was dulled by the unhappiness of my day-to-day life. You know you’re really depressed when even during all-mind-consuming activities (such as making music), you are brooding over what makes you anxious.
In the last year, I have begun journeying back to creativity, a voyage back to happiness. I once again can enjoy music, cooking, artistry, and companionship, and have my mind and soul in the moment.
I love cooking and eating food, making and hearing good music, creating art through photography, writing songs, poems, stories, essays; working with youth, and counseling new mothers about breastfeeding. While doing these things, I am often inspired to record my observations (whether in frustration or in exaltation) about these experiences. I hope you enjoy my perspectives on these passions.
