When You Are Feeling Down

This is for all the people out there who recently hit a rough patch when trying to find happiness! We all make mistakes & we all go through obstacles in order to get to where we really want to be. It is okay to feel down, but you have to remember to pick yourself back up because YOU are worth it.

1. Remember who you are

Do not forget who you really are and do not try to be someone you are not. A lot of people sometimes need to remember why they are on this earth & their purpose for being here. Everyone has a purpose & if you have trouble remembering, just think to yourself "I am me, and I love me."

2. Remember what is important

Your life, your happiness, your health is all extremely important to you. This life you live, the happiness you want to have, and the healthiness you are striving for. Do not give up, but push yourself harder.

3. Remember your friends and family

Your friends and family are crucial to remember when you are feeling down. They comfort you, support, you, and love you no matter how crazy you are.

4. Remember your goal

If you have a set goal whether that be a healthy lifestyle, what you want your happiness to look like, etc. KEEP THAT GOAL. You are working towards something & that will keep you going. Feeling a little down here and there is normal, but if you keep thinking about that goal, you will be on the right track to success.

5. Remember your success

You must have a bunch of success that make you proud of you. You've done something to make the others around you proud of who you are as well. They can be little successes or gigantic. Each one is very special and should never be forgotten.

6. Remember your hardships

It is important to remember your hardships that you faced so in the future, you know that it is okay to have downfalls. I know they are not fun whatsoever, but they are key in helping you to live a happier and healthier life.

7. Remember your flaws

Embrace your flaws to the best of your ability because that is what makes you so incredibly special. Please do not hide your flaws because there is no point in hiding them. Show people the real you.

8. Remember to have self love

Loving yourself is the step in the right direction. Nowadays so many people have a lack of self love and it makes me so sad. (Even I have lack of confidence and I wish I did not) We need to unite together and remember that self love is SOOOO IMPORTANT. Tell yourself something that you love about yourself each and every day.

9. Remember why you are here

You have a story to tell in this crazy thing called life. You are here to live your story and make the most out of it. Everyone only gets one life so why waste it? EMBRACE IT.

10. Remember your memories

You make memories in this life for a reason & that is to look back on them and remind yourself how good you have it. Remember graduating high school with your friends, remember that family vacation you took, remember how great the summers are. Remind yourself that you have a freakin' awesome life.



Good Luck :)

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?
