Take a moment to just close your eyes and lay down for a second. What do you picture in your mind? What kind of scenery is projected in your head? Do you see yourself in the future? Do you imagine an abandoned island with your man-crush lying down by the shore? Or do you have random flashbacks of good and memorable moments? For me, I imagine walking with my boyfriend on a nice warm sandy beach right when the sun is on the horizon that meets the water and as we stroll along the shore line holding hands we take a moment to look at each other and I see that perfect smile of his and we share that perfect kiss on the top of the grassy hill with a perfect view of the sun setting in the background. Everything is perfect when I close my eyes and think. That is my paradise. The nice warm sandy summer beaches with the soothing waves hitting the shoreline in the background and with the tropical smell from the surrounding forest and ocean. One day I hope to act on this vision of mine and make it not only a vision, but also a reality.

My mom always tells me to close my eyes and to think of my paradise with somebody I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with, so that is exactly what I do. It always puts me in a better mood no matter what may be going on and it gives me something to possibly look forward to. So maybe you can think of your paradise so that you can be in a better mood also.
