This one phrase has gotten me through today. Life throws curve-balls, happy endings are hard work & fights with the people you love are part of growing up and growing together.
I'm not one of those people that thinks life is bunch of roses & there's always a reason to smile. Sometimes, there isn't, the world is out to get you, & no matter how much the sun shines & people tell you it will be ok, you just can't see past that big boulder blocking your way.
Have your pity party, bash out an emotion filled post or diary entry, scream, cry & shut the world out, it will do your soul some good. Once you've done that though, don't dwell on it. Dry your eyes, have a long hot bath, read a book & let it all go.
And if you're still struggling with that boulder, ask yourself this question, 'how important will this be in five years?' Be honest. If I'm honest, how my issue turns out will shape my five year plan - go figure!
Hope that helps.

I think that's a great way to look at it. I use similar rationalisation when I am going through a tough time. Sometimes the things that seem so big and horrible you end up looking back and thinking, "what was that all about?!"
oh wow, thankyou for inspiring me!
that's really amazing x
Very inspiring and to the point. I like your approach :D
Hugs xx
PS how good was the Baci word verification!!!

i think like that too, i always think of even the crappiest situations as being 'life experience' and that you will learn at least SOMETHING from each and every thing you go through.

Thats absolutely inspiring,

I shall definitely have to look up that Regina Spektor song!
I do think like that too, and with what kittentails said; I try and learn from every experience!
Once again, thankyou for your sweet words and support :)
Have the loveliest day!

I hate it when people say, "You don't have a reason to cry". Sometimes crying and getting it out of your system makes you feel better.
This was a really good post!
Life is a joke. The only way to survive it is to find the right punchline. :)

Hey! You have an award waiting for you over on my blog! :)
how important will this be in five years?... This is the most difficult question to answer atleast for me
it really is a good question. i'm always getting super hung up on these finicky little things that certainly won't matter later in life.
