#Happiness is one of the strangest human #emotions, frustratingly elusive, totally ill-defined, and rarely achieved by pursuit. I’ve written a lot about it over the years, and still I’m not sure exactly how to even describe what it feels like to be happy, or to be unhappy for that matter.
Like anyone alive and breathing, I experience negative emotions on the regular. In fact, I was in a funk when I wrote this story. Yet...
So stoked to share that I’ve accepted a freelance blogging gig at Read Poetry, an online community that celebrates poetry as a form of expression, activism, & self-care.

Studies Show We Have Better Well-Being With Internet Access
'We’ve been left to think that being on the Internet is a waste of time and not good for us overall. However, results of a recently-published survey shows that we have a better well-being with access to the Internet.'

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we're focussing specifically on what trans people can do to look after our mental health. It's especially important at the moment because there's seems to be a new thing to contend with in the news every week.
#Internet#Broadband#Wellbeing: "Internet access and use is consistently associated with positive wellbeing, a new study of data from 168 countries by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) suggests.
In many parts of the world, including the EU and UK, concerns about online harms have prompted new laws.
The OII says some of its findings are "consistent" with reported links between social media use and depressive symptoms among young women.
But it concludes the overall benefits of being online show regulators contemplating tougher laws should rely on data and not be "guided by anecdote."
"I anticipate that this work will be in some ways seen in contrast to the kind of the current social conversation surrounding tech," said professor Andrew Przybylski, of Oxford University, who led the research.
"If we’re going to make the online world safe for young people, we can’t just go in guns blazing with strong beliefs and a one size fits all solution - we really need to make sure that we’re sensitive to having our minds changed by data," he said."
The mats are waiting for today's deep meditation participants. After today, the focus will be on my retreat in Luxembourg. Already 7 participants registered for my meditation in the park session. I'm excited to meet them soon. Fingers crossed for good weather.
