Please Read This When You Feel Hopeless, Lost, Sad And Numb

Loh Wan Ting Art Therapist / Artist / Designer Skip to content

Hey...

I just wanted to stop by and remind you:

Sometimes, those days happen.

Those days were the negative thoughts come, you feel stuck, you just don't want to continue anymore.

Sometimes, these emotions control your mind, and makes you feel like God made a hiccup in your creation.

Those days where you just plain DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Please, remember, it's OK to not be OK.

For the days you feel worthless and unneeded. Where you feel everyone's life would be better off if you never existed,

It's OK to not be OK.

For the days your chest burns because you feel inadequate. For the days you feel nothing but failure and given up hope,

It's OK to not be OK.

Read this when you feel those things. Where everyone in life is moving forward and you feel you are too stupid on where to take the first step forward.

You are strong. You are admirable.

Modest.

Loving.

Giving.

Beautiful.

When you feel like you had hit rock bottom...

Where you feel like you have no one with you...

You are not alone.

It's OK to CRY, it's OK to be STRESSED, it's OK to FAIL, it's OK to make MISTAKES.

It's OK to not be OK.

Thus far, you have overcame so much.

Please keep going.

When ever the thoughts start, whenever you can't anymore and people doubt who you are and your intelligence,

Please, don't stop.

Your fire in your heart is bigger than you think. Your mind can conquer mountains,

and the world is not ready for you, trailblazer.

You may be bent, but you ARE NOT BROKEN.

More mountains are coming that you are going to have to face; more rivers will flood your journey.

But:

IT'S OK.

No matter how off your world maybe, you are doing amazing.

You are doing amazing being you.

Keep holding on, no matter what.

No matter what...

It's OK to not be OK.

Until next time,

--You

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
