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.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
