What makes you happy?

Hola! My name is Natalie, but you can call me Natalie Darling. Pleased to meet you! This is my first post on my new blog, and I'll be telling you all about this great idea I had. Don't get too excited now! But first, a little about myself.
I am 19 years old, and love anything related to Alice in Wonderland. I have a pet rabbit, and four hamsters. I love the arts, definately eat too much candy, and have suffered from depression for a number of years now. Recently, that last bit, it's really affected my life. Ive dropped out of college, and have trouble even working part time. So now I bet you're wondering why someone who claims to be depressed, would write about happiness. Well, that is a very good question. So, I am a contrary creature by nature, and while I am depressed I also get very excited over the smallest of things.
And one night I sat at my laptop and thought many different thoughts, but the biggest, and best by far was the idea: why can't everyone be happy?

And that's the thing, they can! I can, you can, we all can! So, the Candy Darlings project came to be. Let's all collectively get together, and discover how to be happy. Wether by lowering expectations, raising them, buying a bag of candy, watching the sunset, or just laughing until we cry.

Won't you join me?
