Q&A!
What is 'happiness' for you?
Happiness to me is being present in the current moment, and finding joy in it. I really do believe that happiness is a choice and that everyone has the ability to create happiness for themselves. What makes you happy does not need approval from anyone else, only yourself.
What is your current creative outlet / how do you express yourself?
I love to dance and recently registered in the next session of the dance course I am taking through a company called Luminesque Dance. Dancing is a great creative outlet and expression of myself, and also gives me motivation to stay fit. Outside of dance, I express myself through drawing and doodling, and also running mine (@aminaayub) and my dogs' Instagram pages (@miathedachshund).

What is something you’ve been curious about lately that you want to explore more?
Lately, I have wanted to do more self reflection. I find that I make a lot of decisions about myself and my life on impulse, and I really want to find out what the drivers behind those type of decisions are. I am curious as to the deeper rooted feelings that subconsciously push me to do or not do something.
What is something only your friends know about you?
Who are you grateful for?
I am grateful for my Mom. Although my mom and I have our differences and arguments, she is still there for me when I really need her. My mom flew from Vancouver to London, Ontario when I was in 4th year to live with me for weeks upon weeks while I was sick and battling severe anxiety, seeing doctors, and on medication. My mom has let me make my own mistakes, gone to the doctor with me when I'm sick (even as an adult), and always packs me food when she has a chance. She still cleans up after me, drives me around, and does my laundry when I stay over. I was (and probably still am) the most difficult out of her three kids to raise, so I am thankful to my mom for putting up with me for the past 26 years. Go Mom!
