Advice

 

 

Hi guys, I felt that I needed to do a more serious blog post, so here you are. I beg you, if you are having a bad day, read this and it might help.

 

I know there are a lot of you out there that are dealing with bad circumstances. Whether that is money issues, family issues, insecurity, being bullied, anxiety, or just being over shy. Life can be tough and sometimes we just can't help that. I can't tell you I know exactly how you're feeling but I have been through very painful circumstances as I think we all have. I first lost my self confidence a few years ago, and at the time I almost gave up entirely, I was moody all the time, didn't see the point in life and treated some of the people I love very badly. But that was wrong, life may seem bad but that is no reason to take it out on others and please, don't give up.

 

Life can seem at it's worst at times, but it is full of endless amazing opportunities and you only live once. I know that seems cringy but it is true and you just have to make the most of it. If you're being bullied then you have to do something about it, please. Someone that tells you 'to die' or that you're 'ugly' or even something small like 'you're stupid' is a bully. They should not be acknowledged for the horrible things they say or do and you are a better person than them. Please tell an adult or at least a friend if you're being bullied as it can only get better. I am in no way saying that it is okay for them to be doing what they are doing but please remember that the bullies may be the ones with the biggest problems or insecurities and they are just too scared to talk to someone about it. If they need a shoulder to cry on, please offer it. If your life seems bad please do not try and ruin others lives as well, bullying can drive people to do so many horrible things, in some cases end life altogether.

 

It would be hard for me to give you advice on how to gain more self confidence or become less shy as I haven't figured that one out myself. All I can say is to take chances, even if things might seem scary they may turn out to be amazing. Talk to others, what is the worst that can happen? Most importantly if someone is trying to make you feel worse about yourself, stand up to them. Don't let them win, be the better person. Don't insult them back because then you're just lowering yourself to their level but don't just sit there and let them make you feel like that.

 

I promise you that if your life seems pretty bad, that it will get better. Please don't do anything drastic and just keep telling yourself that happiness is just around the corner. If there is one thing that I have learned so far it is to capture the good moments. Whether that's by photo, drawing, writing or even a mental image. Because if there is a day that is particularly bad or you're just feeling the worst of the worst you can look back at those moments. I write a diary to keep them in and looking back at what I have written always makes me smile and makes me forget about all the bad things for a moment or two.

 

Promise yourself that you will;

• Keeping smiling

• Always tell everyone you love how much you really do love them.

• Stand up for yourself.

• Never let the bad aspects of life overpower the good.

• Live every minute like it's your last.

• Capture the good moments and keep looking back at them.

 

 

I know my blog isn't very big, but if this just helps one person, it would make me so happy. So please just have a read.

 

I love all of you.

 

Life is what you make it, try and make it your best.
