The second way we can talk to ourselves is to recognize and give credit for the good ideas, behaviors, and positive influences we have created each day while noticing the beauty and greatness of everything around us.

Through her plots, Austen explored the dependency women faced on marriage in order to obtain social standing and stability in life. Though these novels are cemented in a period we no longer live in, Austen’s characters have the same personalities, worries, and dreams as people do today. The themes themselves are still very real. Sadly, her work wasn’t appreciated for what they were until after her death. Now, however, she is placed among other great novelists and literary figures of her time, and her work is featured on reading lists for schools all over the world....

Not only are you putting your heart on your sleeve, but you’re openly admitting to someone how much you care about them. Sometimes there is a happy ending that many of us strive for. The sweet moment they grab you by the waist and say, “Where have you been all my life?” That is what we all want, isn’t it?...

Because there’s a reason witches are the most common costume people don on the spookiest night of the year. Not only that, but witchcraft is having a revival in popularity.
