I seriously can’t wait to wear my prom dress. It’s so pretty and it’s my size twelve. That was my goal, of course thought I’d gained weight but suck ass because I’m a size twelve! And I love it. I’m proud.

at the end of the day, all you have left is yourself. 

it’s funny the things people do to remind you of that.

Ten Things To Do When You Feel Like Crap:
1. Have a really hot, long shower. Cry if you need to. Sit on the ground. Feel sorry for yourself. Let the steam soak into your skin. Let the hot water wash your face clean. But the moment you turn off that water, you are done feeling sorry for yourself. Make a decision to move on from that sadness.
2. Clean. I know, cleaning is boring and annoying - but how about that feeling you get when you are finished? The clean small of the vacuum? That feeling of accomplishment? Who knows, you might even find money along the way. Totally worth it. It’s like starting with a clean slate.
3. Call a friend you haven’t spoken to for a while. If your first choice doesn’t pick up, choose someone else. Ask them all about how their lives are going and tell them about yours. Not only will it take your mind off whatever crappy thing you have been plagued by, but you will laugh with them! Laughing triggers endorphins and endorphins make you happy!
4. Go for a run or a walk. This get’s your endorphins and dopamine going crazy. You will get more energy and more happiness just because the chemicals in your body are running around!
5. Stop and take it all in. Walking in the night? Stop and look at the stars. Breathe in the cold air. Feel alive. 
6. Stop whining. Ever heard the saying “love life and life will love you back”? Or, the idea of the power of attraction? It’s true! If you sit around saying “why me, waaaaa waaaa” then bad things will happen to you. You’re already defeated. If you start saying, “I will be happy, I will accomplish my ambitions, I will find love, I do look amazing, I am a great friend” etc., then not only will you start to believe them but you will be amazed at what amazing things start to happen.
7. Drink tea. This always works. Not a tea fan? Try hot water with a slice of lemon and some agave syrup. 
8. Make a conscious decision to stop holding certain grudges. We all have people we have held grudges on in the past. Let them go. If you feel like you owe this person an apology, don’t be too proud. Send them a sincere facebook apology. Sincerity is in the intent, so even if it’s a 2 sentence apology - as long as you mean it it’s worth it. 
9. Cook some really nice, warm food. Stimulate your taste buds with anything as simple as two minute noodles or as lavish as a three course garlic bread, pasta bake, chocolate mousse triple combo. 
10. Write down a list of goals to achieve for the week. As simple as “buy insect repellent” or as large as “jog for 25 minutes non stop” and tick them off when they’re done. You will feel very accomplished and that alone will help pep up your mood!

I love this, I use these things when I am feeling down and they really work!

This seems like human nature because I seem to do them on auto pilot! Try a few; it helps. :)

Good thing to have.

WHAT’S THE MAGIC CURE FOR DYING OF ALLERGIES?!?!

Local honey.

Will remember this always.

Yeah, if you go to your local Whole Foods or Farmers Market, they usually sell local honey. It’s made from all the flowers in your area, and if you eat a tablespoon a day, you’ll build resistance to allergies.

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

Smart girls are the over-thinkers, the insecure ones, the different ones.

They know what the real world is like. They analyze every little thing in life. Why? To avoid getting hurt. To find happiness. They stay up at night trying to think about every possible situation to get through all the problems. They think too much. They trust less people. They’re insecurity proves their respect towards themselves. Of course they try to live away from a drama-free life. Smart girls know their worth, now that’s the ones worth keeping by your side.
