Hi, lovely humans!
When the worst thing of my life happened, I decided to spread happiness.
My name is Hela (it really is Helena, but nobody calls me that).
I live in Prague, the beautiful city in the heart of Europe. I love animals and nature, and taking long walks is my way of relaxation. I’m a big bookworm and will read anything that won’t run away. I love writing and drawing. I would like to think about myself as a joyful person who tries to think positively all the time. I also have a host of mental health problems, some of which have been with me for my entire life, and some of which came later along the way.
Five years ago, I had a major breakdown, which still affects me to this day.
Two months ago, after ten years together, the love of my life broke up with me and my world shattered.
And a few weeks ago, I decided to spread more positivity into the world.
I started this blog – Create Small Joys – and began documenting the various small joys I have encountered in my journey through life. I also did it for myself to assure myself that I still have many things to live for.
And then an idea emerged. What if I create a membership, where I can actually send out a bit of joy to everyone? I was so excited and quickly became completely consumed by this. I started to brainstorm, plan and create.
My best friend offered to find me a good book about breakups on Amazon, and when he was sending me a link, he mentioned that he have seen a breakup coloring book, where you color in phrases like “F*ck you”. He said that he was certain I don’t want that – and I didn’t, but I started thinking, what if I do something similar, but positive?
I went through the things that helped me in therapy – journaling and affirmations – and combined them with my ability to create beautiful doodles that I turned into coloring pages.
The result? Create Small Joys membership will open its gates later this year! I want to make sure first that I have enough content for a year so that if something happens, I will still be able to fulfill what I promised.
