I told you I'd see you in 50 days and here I am, having completed the 100 happy days challenge. And honestly, I'm feeling a little underwhelmed, because I didn't fall in love (sob) and you have to pay for the reward. If that isn't disappointing, I don't know what is. Either way, I persevered, and here are just a few of the pictures I captured in the last 50 days since we last discussed this challenge.
I don't think there is an awful lot to add in regards to what I've learnt through capturing these little moments of happiness every day. I definitely found the second half a lot harder, and can see why such a large proportion of people do fail to complete the challenge. Sometimes you do simply forget, and other times you remember but just think 'what's the point? I'm not happy today/I can't be bothered to focus on something that makes me feel better.' And that's a pretty sad thing to realise — even when we know we're the soul person who can truly uplift our spirits, there are moments in our lives where we choose not to, and therefore spend hours, and maybe even days, sulking and feeling sorry for ourselves. There were definitely days where I felt like that and thought I may as well just give up with the challenge.
I think, in comparison to the first 50 days, the second half contained a lot of shared moments: being reunited with friends, family gatherings, gigs and, of course, music festivals. Also, a few selfies?!
It was a lot of fun to do — I recommend it to anyone who is a little snap happy (pun not intended).
