A Place to Dream Up Your Happiest Life

Hi! I’m Vic.

When I was younger, there were spaces on the internet that had this lovely, positive, innocent vibe. Places like XOvain and (some parts of) Tumblr. You just clicked around and learned cute fun things and saved pretty, largely meaningless photos. You could dream up who you were gonna be one day and take quizzes to see if you should get bangs or not.

Now I am older and miss the days when I got done with a stint in the computer room feeling better than when I went in. I want this space to capture the happiness and nostalgia of the slow bored days of childhood, where possibilities were endless and you believed your life could be anything you wanted. But for adults who are surfing the reality of life, its ups and its downs. This is a gentle internet space for them like the old days where you can just click around for a while and pick up some tips and tricks to make you feel better (and remember your life can be anything you want.)

Instead of eyeshadow maps, there will be easy tested mindfulness rituals, gratitude and romance practices, gentle life improvement tips, slow living book recommendations, and all things to feed your heart and soul.

Also pretty, largely meaningless photos. Love you!

6 Self Help Books That Changed My Life

Is hope such a dirty thing? Is it embarrassing to believe your life could get better? I don’t think so. Change is vulnerable. Admitting we want something we don’t have is scary. It brings up a lot of insecurity and pain of the past. Being brave and trying for the life you want anyway is deserving of reward in my opinion. So buy yourself a self help book AND a cookie. 

Which is what I do! Whenever I am facing a new challenge, I download a self help audiobook that someone recommends on the topic, be it an article like this or someone I know who is knowledgeable on the subject. I go for slow walks and just listen. I don’t try to solve anything or rush through. I just walk and listen and trust that there is always some solution to every quandary. No reading even required. And that cookie thing, don’t forget.
