Gratitude Journal
My sister and I have shared the joy of both struggling mentally, academically and physically throughout middle school. When the torture finally ended for me it stared for her. Finally after 2 very long years she is done and not only that but we are going to be going to the same school together which is a major win because she is literally my best friend. Im so proud of her and cant wait to cheer her on

Day 34 - RED HOT CHILI PEPPER'S CONCERT5/16/2023 This past sunday/mothers day (May 14th, 2023) my mom took me, my sister, and her partner to the Red Hot Chili Pepper's concert and it was a blast. I grew up listening to them with my grandpa, it allowed me to open a wide variety for music and brings me joy so it made me happy. The concert was amazing, the band did great and my mom got me a band shirt. Overall it was an amazing day and experience.
Day 33 - My Sunflowers5/12/2023 Recently, me and my sister planted a bed of sunflowers. At first I thought I'd grow lazy, not care much and once they grew I'd just forget about them but that is not the case. Those growing flowers have made me truly happy, every morning I water them and care for them- allowing me to become more responsible and causes me to appreciate nature more. The moment they sprouted it constantly gives me a small reminder to be positive and stay focused.
Day 32 - Spotify5/11/2023 Today, I am thankful for Spotify and anything music can be streamed on. Music is a large part of my life, I constantly listen to music or search for new music to the point where its my normal. I think a lot of people that way but the thing is, music helps me mentally ease myself. Today my emotions were overly stimulated and extreme, but because of music I could distract myself and take the time to calm.
Day 31 - Thrifting5/9/2023 My entire life I have been shopping at thrift stores, whether it was for clothes, shoes, toys or just to find hidden gems. It was easy, fun and helpful due to our financial state not being the greatest. As I grow older I have developed a style that is most thrifted clothes, it helps me find vintage and unique pieces they don't make anymore but one thing I really do like about it is how environmentally friendly it is. I just the unexpected aspect of it all.
Day 30 - This upcoming weekend5/8/2023 This upcoming Sunday I get to go to a concert I have wanted to see for a while now. This Sunday is the Red Hot Chili Peppers come to AZ and I'm going to the concert and I absolutely can't wait. Live music is one of my absolute favorite things and this band is one I've grown up with. That concert is my motivation for the entire week, I'm so so excited.
Day 29 - Creative Thinking5/3/2023 I appreciate my creative thinking and how it helps me not only in everyday life but also in school. For example in culinary I was able to make things out of fondant for our cupcake competition. In science I can use it for my presentation slides, and in Psychology I can use it in my website and podcast.
Day 28 - My Permit5/1/2023 This past weekend my official permit came in and Im really excited. This can open so many door for me, meaning on October 22nd I can officially go in and test to get my license. When I finally get my license I can go so many places, work, see my friends back in Mesa and so much more. Im super excited to be able to do that and get over my fear of driving so I can get places and get further in life.
Day 27 - Yeva pt.34/28/2023 This is a shorter entry but I just wanted to take a minute and mention how amazing of a person Yeva has been ever since we met. Yeva is one of the kindest individuals I know, constantly supporting me, making me feel wanted, loved, making me laugh and just allowing me to be myself. Another thing I love about them is their kindness and selflessness, an exampled of this being when Yeva allows me to adapt and stays close to me when my anxiety is high- at a party I was surrounded by new people and was growing anxious but even though I never said I was anxious it was like Yeva knew, they stayed next to me, talked with me and made me feel comfortable. I just love them so much, its like they always think about me and keep me feeling like a person. Every little thing they do like keeping contact, sending me pictures or jokes, giving e small gifts and everything else.
Yeva is one of the best people in the entire world, I love them dearly :)) Day 26 - My Friend Elle4/27/2023 Elle and I met a few months before I moved since they are dating one of my other friends. AT first I considered our friendship risky since if they broke up it would but me in an awkward position but the more I got to know her the more I cared less and less about that aspect. Elle and I aren't super close or anything but she is super funny, sweet and great to talk to. The reason I mention this is because today we both were having a tough day but we both helped each other and vented. She helped me a lot today and I really appreciate it.
She is a really great person and I love her to death AuthorMariah Archives
