So here's the thing... being happy is a very vital key in your life (DEEP MOMENT)
Hello ...
I have a new video up on YOUTUBE !!! Finally (this took forever to edit and I actually was so close to not even uploading it.... thanks to my brother though... I decided to)
(here it is :) watch it and then continue reading) :D
So did you watch it? Did you like it? (go like it if you did? cause that would make me happy)
How about that song hey?
I've got a quick tip for you :) if you're feeling low/downinthedumps/lonely/sad ..... and you don't know what to do to feel better, I have this little quick pick me up tip for you.
I have this thing that I do where I bottle things up. I stress about school, friendships, my talents, what I'm not talented at, things I struggle with, conversations I've had that didn't go well, moments when I've been awkward, when I got really excited and people looked weirdly at me, times that I've blushed, and other things like that... and I don't tell anyone about it. I'll have an issue with something someone has done, or said to me and I'll not say anything about it. I won't talk about it, I'll just try to forget and move on. But the thing is that I can only do this for so long before the 'bottle' is full and can't handle anymore of these thoughts and emotions. Obviously, I'm sure you can just imagine what happens. My self-esteem plummets, I get really quite and almost shy, I'll blush a lot (and because I'm so conscious of me blushing and so self conscious about it, then I'll blush and get so frustrated with myself), I'll start to speak down on myself, compare myself to anyone I think is better than me, and I'll start second guessing everything I do. It's HORRIBLE and I usually end up crying in my room.
Why am I telling you all this?
Well if you ever feel anything like that, I know how you feel. You're not alone and when you have moment's like that know that there are millions of people out there who feel similar. It's not just you singular, its WE as in plural.
Although its terrible to bottle up your worries/doubts/emotions, it's something I'm working on not doing. I've found that if I write about it then it doesn't fix it, but it does help me feel less trapped by these feelings. I've put it out there if I write it, the paper won't judge you. Sometimes, I don't even write my own words, often it will be a quote by some random person I've seen on Pinterest that has stuck with me.
Another awesome way to stop feeling like that would be this (and it only takes 5 mins!!!!)
Listen to a song! I'm serious! Jump around to the beat, sing the lyrics (in your head or aloud), shake out all the tension and nerves. (Just don't listen to a sad song, because there's no way that'll cheer you up)
I'm going to give you a list of songs that I would recommend listening to and wouldn't :)
Do ~
The Best Song Ever by 1D (this song is my all time favourite pick me up)
Problem by Ariana Grande (listen I know it's over played but it cheers me up)
Counting Stars by One Republic
End up Here and Heartbreak girl by 5sos
Gives You Hell by All American Rejects
A little Party never Killed nobody by Fergi ft Q-tip & Goonrock
Move by Little Mix
Down South by Jeremy Loops
Turn down for what by Lil Jon ft DJ Snake
Wasted by Tiesto ft Matthew Koma
Don't ~
Amnesia by 5sos
Breathe by Anna Nalick
All of the Stars by Ed Sheeran (don't do that to yourself ... it's just too depressing)
Actually now that I think about it, don't play any Ed Sheeran song
Hey there Delilah by Plain White-T's
Iris by the GooGoo dolls
Wonderwall by Oasis
That's my advice (the other advice I would love to give you is to just tell someone, talk it out if you have a problem with someone, and smile... always smile cause there's always something to be happy about even if it doesn't seem like it, and it might even be something small like .... oh look at that lovely flower, it's so pretty (don't then go comparing yourself to the flower, you're not a flower you're a beautiful human being)
As a good bye if you're feeling sad, please watch this video it's just over a minute and will absolutely MAKE YOUR DAY! (and if you're already happy watch it to because it will absolutely MAKE YOUR DAY!!!!) it's just too cute :)
