If You're Having A Bad Day, Read Me
Magic 4 Walls

It seems like this time of the year bad days happen more often than they should. I am guilty of letting little things bother me. The little things build up and instantly ruin my day. But there's a lot of good things you may not realize when you are down in the dumps. There are so many more beautiful things in your life that you are ignoring because of the bad things that are going on in your life. Here are a few examples:

1. You are loved.

By your friends and family, they love you unconditionally. Maybe they caused your bad day, just remember at the end of the day they love you unconditionally just as you love them back.

2. You are important.

I am guilty of feeling like I don't matter to anyone. This is wrong. You are important. Your message, your life, and what you do with it matter. It may be hard to believe because you may not get recognition for things you deserve, but everything you do is important and means something.

3. You are strong.

On your worst the only thing you can do is move forward and learn from situation. It's okay to be sad, but what you learn from each situation makes you who you are and stronger everyday.

4. You are beautiful.

Inside and out, you are beautiful. Remember the good you do and the smiles you bring to people. That's what beauty is. Being able to touch people's lives and make their days by the simplest actions.

5. You are making a difference.

Success doesn't happen over night. It may seem like you are making as much progress as you want, but just remember good things take time. You may fail, but you what learn from that moment will define you as a person.

6. You deserve to be happy.

Let the bad things go and focus on the things that make you smile and who you are. Life is too short to let the negative aspects of your life control how you feel and live your life.

7. The sun will rise.

It may seem like your world is collapsing in front of your eyes, but it's not. Just a bump in the road. Don't lose sight of your goals or who you are.

Smile, everything is going to be okay <3

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
