Guest Post: Happiness by Helen

Hey! Helen here from Eat.Enjoy.Live. How is everyone?
I was so excited when Arni asked me to guest post. I mean this girl has style!!
She asked me to write about what makes me happy.
I honestly didn't think it would be so difficult.
I didn't want to go down the route of family and friends, because although they do make me happy,
they have me going crazy too!! Who's with me?

The one thing that never lets me down?

Books.

Oh man! I am the biggest bookaholic you've ever met.
I get most of my books from charity shops, as they are cheap and my money goes to a good cause.
The only trouble is when I'm trawling the shelves all you can hear me say is "read that, read that, read that".

Seriously. Whilst every other children was spending their pocket money on sweets, I was saving it up and buying books.

I have a problem, but it's a problem I can live with.

My top 5 reasons why books make me happy?

1. Although books can make you cry, they will never ever let you down.
2. Books are the ultimate tool for time travel. In fact travel in general. Go anywhere, to any time  and if you've picked a good author you're right there in the moment. 
3. I learn a lot about myself.
4. The smell. I know it's weird, but that second hand book shop smell. They should bottle that. I'd buy it!
5. Characters. They can't talk back, you can hate them, hopelessly fall in love and encourage them. You don't have to be afraid. Their story is already written.
