be happy

Don't let “standard” and normativity rule your life. Always try to do and learn new things. This will avoid boredom and keep the mood going. One of the biggest causes of depression is a boring, monotonous and boring routine.
Knowing new places, cultures and people are the gifts provided by travel. Schedule yours in advance - remembering that the sooner there is planning, the cheaper the expenses are! And, if possible, take the people you care about with you so they can share those experiences together.
