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 smell 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!

You guys are crazy - I can’t believe how many notes this post has! I literally posted it for myself so I would stop sulking! I’m glad it’s resonated and helped so many other people! xo

Honestly haven’t felt like this for so long.
I have a sociology exam in about 4 hours, but I can’t seem to think straight. Today is the last day of Year 13. Of course, for me that means it isn’t my last day at this school, but for the majority of my friends it is. Now that’s fucking scary. I just don’t know what to do. I never thought I’d feel this bad. I have the sickest feeling in my stomach and throat; because of my exam but mostly due to upset. I feel like crying. If I don’t cry at some point today, I will later on. I wish I could just cry and get it all out and just get over it, but things like this take time. I mean, I went to school with these people for 7 YEARS OF MY LIFE, some even 15. For the past two years, I have meet some amazing people in sixth form that I would never thought of befriending. I just can’t feel anything else other than sadness. I’m telling myself to think positively, but then I’m telling myself to embrace the sadness so that when times are good, I’ll appreciate them more. I don’t know. I need a hug and a time machine so I can go back two years at least. I know I’ll get over this pretty quickly, but at this present moment I do feel I need to get it all out. When all this ends, I’ll look to the last year I have at sixth form as a new chapter, and then for the year after as a whole new chapter as God-willingly I’ll be off to university. Arghhh, I just don’t know what I’m doing with my life. This last day is going to happen, even if I want it to or not. So I don’t know why I’m worried.
This is the hardest thing ever. To not see familar faces everyday like I have for the last 7 years, it’s heartbreaking. But it’s going to make me so strong and it can only get better. Here’s to class 12’. Chhhheeeers xxx

You can get through this.
You can get FUCKING THROUGH THIS. Get a hold of yourself. I’m talking to myself again.

No matter how upset anyone could make me by leaving or marking my life, I am so comforted by the fact that there will always be someone else to come. There is always someone to follow absolutely everything, whether you want them to or not, whether you are expecting them or not. A late night coffee bump-in, a class, an errand you didn’t plan on making. Suddenly there is someone else. There is always, always, always more to come. Therefore it could never be the end, no matter how much it feels as if it is.

Sorted out my revison timetable around the dates and times of my exams, and now that I look at it, it all fits together nicely. My Psychology papers are a few weeks away, so I have a gigantic gap to revise them later so now I can focus all my attention on Sociology and Politics instead until they’re over. It’s so less stressful now, as I only have two subjects to focus on instead of three. Buzzin’ to work now, this is a first.

Last week of sixth form for Year 13 next week. I really don’t know what to make of it. I know for sure I won’t see most of my friends anymore after they leave, but at the same time I’m kind of glad I won’t see others as at times its been difficult for me to deal with them being around and distracting me, and I know they’ll just slip out of my mind as soon as they leave. But not seeing my friends after going to the same school as them for 7 years, and with others I’ve known them for 13 years. It’s going to be difficult facing this fact but I know I’ll get through this. I keep on thinking in my mind, in a years time will I really be as bothered. Yeah, I will miss them and memories will keep on playing in my mind but I know I will have moved on by then and I’ll be thinking about going off to University myself (God-willingly), so I’ll be keeping my mind occupied. It’s such a rollercoaster, life.
One thing I am ever so grateful for is the fact that about a few months ago I thought this was going to be the hardest thing I have ever had to go through, but now that the time has come it’s not even that bad tbh. I’ve already pretty distanced from my friends anyway, so it won’t matter too much. Hmmm.

My heads a mess.
I’m kind of all over the place at the moment, hense why I seem to be a little quiet on this blog and I’m only reblogging the odd post I can relate to.
I’ve got exams, with the first one on the 16th. I’m scared and nervous and with every day that draws near, I get a sick feeling in my stomach and throat. I’m just praying for the best, and that’s all I can do alongside giving it my best, revision wise and when the time comes at the exam hall.
That’s not the only thing that is giving my feelings in my stomach though. There is a guy at work that I really think likes me, and I like him too. Although he’s in a relationship, I still feel that there is something there. However I’m not going to allow myself to do anything. If anything else does happen between me and him, I might address it but if not, I’m going to leave it. The thing is, I’ve learned that if things are meant to be, they will be and it’s as simple as that. I’m done with forcing myself to like someone, or being disappointed whenever someone doesn’t show an interest in me. Why should they? They have no obligation to please me, unless they really do like me and want to show me. I’m got some serious growing up to do, and the belief in fate and destiny is the foundation of my love life in my opinion. Once I know that everything happens for a reason, I’m set.
I’m talking myself out of happiness it seems though. This morning I was sat, and I just realised how much I have distanced myself from my friends. I was looking through my Facebook, and I realised that there was a time when we would be constantly wall-to-wall’ing, constantly joking, constantly being in touch with each other online and offline. Now, it’s as if they’re not even a part of my life anymore, and it just seems wrong. There is only about 2 weeks left of sixth form, which is scary. But that ties to the previous point I made; maybe the fact that there is a ever growing distance between my friends and me is a way of making it easier for me to let go when they leave for university. It’s as if it’s already happening.
My mum went on holiday to Pakistan for two weeks, and she’s arriving back home tommorrow. I’m so excited for her to return. These past two weeks have been like a rollercoaster, constant shouting between my siblings. And all I’ve wished for is my mum to be back. She’s everything this family needs to stay under control, and it took 2 weeks of her being away from us to realise that. Mothers are such a blessing, and I absolutely hate it when silly immature girls bitch about theirs mothers over stupid things like not letting them go out or making them study. They really don’t know what they’ve got in their life, and I bet that if they did move out of the house (like they all claim to wish for), they’d be clueless as to what to do.
I don’t know what to make of my life right now. It’s weird.
