*sigh*

You know those days where you're just sad.
Yeah, I'm having one of those days.
For me, I know that when I'm in bad place emotionally my body starts to feel just as bad. So today, by second period (like 10:00) my stomach hurt, I felt terrible and I was dizzy.  I ended up going home and now I've been thinking, how can someone make a day like this better?
So, here's a post on how to maybe look on the sorta-kinda-maybe-brighter side of a problem.

1) Make a Pros and Cons list: I don't usually think pros and cons lists work, but sometimes writing down what's getting to you and then writing down the good stuff in you life helps.  Like today, in my journal (I keep one daily btw it's pretty cool actually) I made a pros and cons list.  In my mind I had so many things that sucked but on paper I really only had two.  Both of the "problems" involved boyzzzzz (both have girlfriends, both are older then me, neither know I like them) and all of six of my pros were pretty good, it put stuff in perspective.

2) Throw yourself into something: When I say "something" I don't mean bad somethings I mean hobbies, school work, etc. For me, I either start working really hard in school (positive! you get good grades), or drawing (positive! I make something I'm proud of.)  By throwing yourself into something you care about, your mind won't be on the problem anymore, you can express yourself and you can also succeed or grow in a subject you care about.  Yay you!

3) Look/listen/read things that make you happy! : For me, this usually means looking at Rookie or books I like, pictures that make me happy or reading stuff that is like comfort food.  This will also distract you and put you in a good mood, remember you deserve it.

4) Talk to that person that always make you laugh: Everyone loves a good laugh (well most people) and if you have a friend that always cheers you up talk to them.  If your not in the mood to talk (which I tots get) listen to a comedian that makes you laugh (Louis C.K is my fav.) or a song that makes you happy.

5) Watch this: 



Everything looks a little brighter now don it?

Sometimes it's OK not to be OK.

    There's a cheezy saying I'm sure you've heard; Nobodys perfect.  When your grandma says it to you when you complain about your thighs or whatever, it sounds stupid and kinda like an excuse for stuff.  But really, it's true nobody is perfect.
Everyone has their problems, some are huge some are small but all of them are real.  You know those day when you just can't get anything right? Sometimes those days become weeks, then years.  And that's okay.  It's okay that you just aren't too good at math or that you can't draw a skull or even that you can't be happy.  It's okay to feel sad about how your life is at the moment and it's okay to be angry that you didn't get what you want.
Through experience, I know that it's scary to look at life and take it head on sometimes. My whole life I have been anxious.  And for the first 15 years of my life I acted like it was fine, it wasn't a big deal that being around too many people made me nervous, it was fine that sometimes I just was so sad that I could barely even look in my mirror, it was no biggie that the weekends I had to go to my dad's I would break down and cry.  I put on a mask, and acted like I was fine and that the fact that my life scared me was okay.
    Then, my freshman year of high school changed everything.  I couldn't keep the mask on.  Everyday life became trying, I was a nervous wreck and didn't know how to talk about it.  For months I couldn't explain my behavior, I was embarrassed and ashamed that I would have nervous breakdowns about going to school, and that I was scared by my own behavior.  For months this went on and on, my absences at school increased, my grades went down, and I didn't get any better.  It felt like the anxiety was a monster that would take over me and throw me against a wall.  Soon I was worried about going to school, that I couldn't do it but if I didn't do it I would get F's, and if I got F's I wouldn't graduate and if I didn't graduate, I'd never go to college, and then I'd just never do anything with my life, but I couldn't bring myself to go to school.   It was hard.  It was frustrating and in all honesty, it was scary to lose myself like that.
    Then this year, I talked about it. I talked about my problems, my hardships. I explained that I didn't understand why I couldn't go to school, but I felt that I couldn't.  I explained that I did not understand how I felt, that I was scared.  I was lucky enough to be helped, and have supportive people to tell me that sometimes it's okay to not be okay.
     Sometimes it's hard to admit that you're not okay.  But once you do, it feels like a weight off you shoulders, being able to say "Hey, today I'm really feeling down"or "I feel lost, I feel sad and confused"will lead to you looking into that.  Why do you feel that way? Can someone or something help you? What do you need to do to help yourself?  It feels good to help yourself.  I really do promise you it's okay for you to be sad, it's okay to feel confused and it's really absolutely okay to not be okay right now.  

fashionaid: Penny Lane

OK guys let's jump right into the topic.
Almost Famous is an awesome movie.  I liked it the moment the movie began and loved it by the time it was over.  The whole movie is just a whole type of awesome.
I mean come on, it has good music, a lovable underdog, a coming of age story, and my favorite part, Penny Lane.  Kate Hudson plays the unbelievably cool bandaid.  She hates being called a roadie, no way, she actually helps the band, she's not just some girl who follows those superstars.  She's so eccentric and easy breezy, ugh and her clothes. Let me tell you, her clothes are A M A Z I N G. 


She's rocking that fur hat. And those boots; gimmeeee! I love Penny Lane's style, it's just boho rocker crazy hippy girl bandyish.  And Kate Hudson also happens to be gorgeous in this movie, with those pretty blonde curls and her very plain makeup.  I would love to be Penny Lane, and although I might not be a Bandaid with rockers on tour, I can certainly dress like her.

Not gonna lie, all of that stuff is ridiculously expensive (except for the black dress I have that) but it's just to give ya the idea of Penny's (amazingly incredible) style.  It's easy, but doesn't come off as lazy, it's breezy but not everything in her wardrobe is light.  Here's my semi-Penny Lane look:


So, although we might not be able to live like Penny Lane, we can totally dress like her.  She's a pretty cool person, I mean she's fun and super low maintenance but still kinda crazy.  And by god she can wear a white fur hat like no other.
