Write Your Heart Out

It's chicken soup for the soul.

Write Your Heart Out
http://daddymindtricks.com

So, this was supposed to about GPU mining. Then it was supposed to be a letter to myself. And not it's about just writing in a journal. Just straight up writing in a notebook designated for logging your day and feelings. It's always been important for me to write out my thoughts, there was no one to listen. Even if you do have someone, writing out your feelings unabashed gives you a sense of mind and heart nothing else can.

Something about pouring your heart onto pages for no other's eyes heals the soul and calms the mind. Whether it was the best day of your life, and you've never been more elated, or it was the most heart draining, soul wrenching day of your life, and you need to pour your numb heart out, some solitude with a pen and paper is chicken soup for the soul. Bonus points for soft music and a lit candle.

When you're not too sure how you feel, scribble some words down, and soon enough you'll have at least some sort of idea where to start soul searching. Self improvement can only be done through self reflection. Through the process of jotting some words down on a page, you'll find happiness within yourself to give to others. It's like giving yourself a clean slate each time you write. Just like crying. You can't start anew if you don't empty all the pent up emotions. A river of tears and ink cleanses the body and mind just enough to smile again.

Feelings too foolish and thoughts too nonsensical, your journal doesn't judge. It's a log of your life. A yearbook, but with words. I like to date and time mine. I used to log what music i was listening to while writing, but that became too tedious.

The next time life becomes a little too much or life is too boring, pick up that cute diary you meant to write in or that extra notebook you didn't need. 30 minutes alone.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
