What makes YOU happy?
Variety is the spice of life and what makes you happy is different for everyone. It’s why we should do what makes us happy inside, and not try to follow someone else or fall in with the crowd. When you fill yourself up with happiness and happy things, you are the best version of yourself to others! So go on and get your happy on!
