To The Girl That Can't Seem To Catch A Break,

We all have those days or weeks where it seems that nothing goes our way. You fail a test, you get a pimple, you forget to do you homework, bad hair day, and so on. Those days make it seem like the whole world is out to get you, and you can't help but throw yourself a little pity party. And while it's okay to feel a little bad for yourself sometimes, I'm here to tell you that after you throw your 5-minute tantrum and cry a little, get it together and carry on.

It's one of those things that is WAY easier said than done, but the saying rings true that you set the mood for your day/week/month whatever. If you decide to wallow in self-pity all day, then that's your choice, but just take into consideration what I just said; it's your choice. You can choose to feel bad for yourself for a minute, that's okay, we all do it. But after that few minutes or so is up, pick yourself up and choose to try and make your day go better.

If you're having trouble figuring out how to do that, go do something that makes you happy. Go grab your favorite cup of coffee, read a good book, lay out in the sun, take a nap. Anything that makes you a little happier, just do it. Even the worst days can turn around when you're doing something you like.

So give yourself a little pep talk.Remember who you are. You're strong, you can handle anything life throw your way. I'm not saying its not okay to be sad sometimes, because it is, but I'm reminding you that you are the sole controller of your thoughts, feelings and actions. So when you are feeling sad, rely on yourself to try and feel better. Everyone has their bad days, but what matters is how you decide to spend your bad days. It's your choice.

I know most of this is, again, way easier said than done, but my point is, you have to at least try. Don't feed your demons, and don't give into the negative thoughts. Remind yourself that either way, the bad days will end and the good ones will always outweigh the bad.

Sincerely,

Someone Who Has Been There.
