I’m sure everyone has heard the phrase “When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade”, but what if you just really aren’t feeling like making that lemonade? And you’re just not sure how to add the sugar to make it taste just right?

This is life. Sometimes people have the worst things thrown at them and they don’t feel like making the best out of the situation, and sometimes that just has to be okay.

Optimists all over the world are sitting back telling people to make the best out of a situations, when sometimes there isn’t a way to make the best out of situations and hurting people are racking their brain trying to figure out how to make themselves happy when they should be working on improving themselves and finding inner peace with a situation.

Sometimes when someone faces a situation in their life where they just don’t feel up to their best in life, they’re dragging and they don’t know who or where to turn to next and they sink. They sink into their bed or their couch and they find comfort in all the familiar things around them, and sometimes thats just the way people handle things and its okay to feel this way.. as long as you don’t stay this way.

So today I want to give you 3 tips for making the best out of a situation, but not necessarily making lemonade

1. Journal.

Anytime I ever feel weak, sad, or upset, I always write. I write poetry and journal entries and anything under the sun. Sometimes writing your thoughts down into words will help compensate for the emotions that you’re feeling.

2. Don’t beat yourself up.

There is an ora over peoples sadness. People tend to beat themselves up when circumstances are testing them, but what I’ve realized is that the more self care and love you give yourself from a situation the better off the situation will be.

3. Remember that no one interprets your worth besides you.

Never, ever let anyone tell you that you are less than worthy. You are a strong human. You can walk, talk, and read and there is no reason to let someone else’s opinions of your situation describe who you are as a human being.

Just remember that when life gives you lemons, you don’t always have to make lemonade. Sometimes you can put the lemons on display for little while just to soak up all the decoration they may offer.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
