New Year, New Mindset

Looking around me today I’ve realised everything is so different. 2015 flew by to say the least. My hair is shorter, the colour has changed. The people I hang out with aren’t the same people who were with me when the year began. My lessons and classes are full with people I haven’t spoken to before. I am able to smile freely and laugh carelessly. How is this possible? Time. Time flies and before you know it you’re aren’t in the world you once knew. The pains of yesterday are just that: the pains of yesterday. Time flies. With the snap of invisible fingers you’ve grown up, become stronger. Time flies and before you know it, you’ve made it.

 When put into certain situation, it's a natural thing to think that the world is going to end, everything is going wrong and to just give up. But taking one day at a time and just living in the moment, not overthinking about tomorrow is how to get over it. It won't happen overnight, and that's something I'm still trying to get used to. Instead of agonizing over each small detail of the situation, take it at face value, breathe, and move on. We tend to hold onto to things we should have let go a long time ago. 2015 was one hell of a year for me, with incredible lows and even higher highs. 2015 was a long roller coaster ride; which I'm happy to have taken. Although the trend at the end of the year is "new year, new me", it's symbolic in a way, and we are given a chance to make the new year better than the last. I have a feeling 2016 will definitely be a great year.

 2016 is going to be the year I prioritize myself and my happiness above anything and everything else. 2015 was the year people took advantage of my kindness and the type of person I am, and in 2016 that won't be the case. New year, new mind set more like it ahaha.

Just Do It...

I love being straightforward with the people that are in my life and the people I meet. I love sending reckless text messages (because how reckless can a form of digitized communication really be?). I love telling people I love them, and telling people they are wonderful human beings, and that I appreciate them in my life. I love saying "kiss me harder", and "You're a great person", and "You brighten up my day". I try to live my life being as straight-forward as I can be. Because one day, I might get hit by a bus. Maybe it's weird. Maybe it's scary. But to me, it seems downright impossible to just be -  instead you just should let people know that you need them, want them, and that in this very moment you will die if you don't see them, hold them, touch them in some way, whether its your feet on their thighs sitting on the couch, your tongue in their mouth or your heart in their hands. To me there is nothing more beautiful than being ...

I'm A Work In Progress

Image
I am an awkward person. On the outside I seem to be completely positive and confident about myself, but that is far from it. I give so many life advices to so many of my friends but I can't seem to fix my own life. I just know how it feels to be sad and depressed, so I always make an extra effort to make others smile and laugh. I want them to feel good about themselves because that is something I can't do. People would never except me to sad because they only see the "happy" and motivating side of me. I tend to just hide and bottle up my emotions, making sure everyone around me in my life is okay. It sucks sometimes because I spend so much time and effort on others, being there for them and when it's my turn and I need someone, there's no one to turn to. Learned the hard way who my true friends are. It's a learning process, to love yourself. There are days where I wake up and I just don't want to try and make an effort to smile and make it seem lik...

Don't

Don't call me beautiful, frankly, I don't care. Call me intelligent, tell me my laugh is contagious, and that I make you smile. Tell me I have something more to offer, then just my body, in a world that is more obsessed with our physical appearances than anything else. Tell me my brain is enough, and my body is not my validation.
