Used & Vintage Luxury Bags
The pounding excitement of pulling the trigger when you see this beast, did you kill it? Mine is simply lifting rocks in the rockpools of a Southern Victorian beach to anticipate the sight of a crab, to then gently place the rock back and leave the crab be. A childhood love that has never left me. I yearn to be that crab some days. My favorite two words just happen to be Joy and Smitten as well.
As one of the largest suppliers of pre loved designer bags in the country, we have been giving stylish men and women the chance to enjoy incredible high end purchases for hugely discounted prices since 2013. Our collection of second hand options boast the names of some of the biggest and most influential fashion brands around the world, allowing us to bring luxury and affordability into the same realm. I find joy in being so interested, so absorbed, by someone or something outside my often spiraling mind that I temporarily forget my worries and uncertainty and occasional disgust with the world. Yesterday I played the piano for an hour, improvised.. I played a chord - not on purpose, sort of accidentally - it was a thrilling feeling, like I had stumbled on something secretive. Just for that moment, sitting at the piano, alone, I felt the joy of being alive, being able to hear second hand designer bags that sound.
I am a rather rational, analytic person by nature (or nurture) and I have often thought that strong sentiments and emotions are more difficult to summon, hidden as they seem to be, under layers of processing. I, like you, feel happy and even content with life, but the feeling of pure joy is much harder to conjure or experience. I also find joy in movies in which the protagonists demonstrate extreme dignity and altruism towards others, particularly when faced with personal peril or attendant sacrifice. With the exception of one thing, what brings joy changes and thank goodness for that.
And a visit to Munich's Olympiahalle on Oct 18th, will def. Bring a huge amount of joy, too, albeit quite a privileged one. Joy is found everywhere, the sun rising in the morning, the birds making their sounds, the innocent smile while passing a stranger on the sidewalk, texting a loved one good morning….it’s all there waiting for us, we just have to pause and take notice. I don’t know if joy is something we can actively seek.
For most of my life, I've been fearful of much of this world. We matured together, not least for me, because I gave up drinking early in our journey.He shed his fears, and we grew in confidence and serenity. Initially, we took to the moors to try to help with weight loss--always on a harness, for it is far too dangerous here for small tigers. Soon we grew to cherish these ritual circuits of his kingdom. He held his fortress against a young pitbull and an aggressive cat, but perhaps our fondest moments were simply lying amidst the fresh mint plants, prodded by the breeze. In all times of year he requested his outings, even climbing atop mounds of snow in the shortest days.
I’ve written that on many a notebook or scrap paper. I feel now that i’ve given enough exposition, i might try to answer your question. I find joy….in moments with friends.

I find joy in sharing a mixtape with a handsome crush, knowing that the music I put together will make him smile or dance. I find joy in watching 12-year-olds playing football on a frozen pitch, even when they're losing. I find joy thinking I won't be the only one answering your question, and I find joy knowing that you might feel our love when you read this. I find joy in thinking I'll take my son to see you and hear you in Cardiff, on November 6th.
It may last no longer than a few seconds but has the capacity to lift me up into the day. A streak of sunlight that flashes through a grey sky, the smell of green after a storm or just that feeling that all is as it should be. I don't seek joy, it finds me in these moments. When l catch my daughter Silver smiling at me when l’m busying around her.
Sometimes we take him out to fields full of long grass and either my husband or I will hide in it and he (the hound) will go wild trying to find us. When he gets to us he does this mad thing of sort of eating the air. The game can of course be played in wooded areas.
Appreciating the world's natural gifts can result in tremendous joy. I’ve found that I’m looking at things in a different way and seeing the beauty in the small things, like the way a few stones or shells are arranged on a sandy beach. Try to learn something new every day, without resorting to a search engine. Mine for tomorrow is to see if I can find out what the collective noun for a group of rocks is.5. Nurture the relationships with those who you hold most dear. Joyous moments abound when you do.
Joy is fleeting, transcendent, and more intense compared to the enduring, more stable emotion of happiness.This is perhaps why joy escapes you. You cannot catch it, control it, or feel it on demand. It is always present but often hidden in the noise of the day, requiring our attention to be ready to notice it when it decides to reveal itself. Practicing gratitude daily is perhaps a way to prepare ourselves to be ready and have the best chance of noticing joy when the time comes.Perhaps this is why joy is better understood or felt—“brought into focus,” as you said—through what we have lost.
Somehow I was given what I needed without knowing I needed that. To be gently cared for in that way was something I still go back to when I am struggling. It just opened up a space inside me.
Reading your question brought me joy, but in a melancholy, painful way. We humans, or at least the ones I know, fall in and out of joy all the time, and it hurts when I can’t find my way to it. I have creative directions and work I love and people. But a few months ago I started waking up every morning with a dread that made no sense. It’s an unkind way to meet the morning. Almost accidentally, every morning while drinking my tea I began checking on each of my plants—I have an extensive carnivorous plant collection that brings me a quiet happiness.
