If you're having a bad day- read this

Yesterday, I had a bad day. It happens to all of us, right? What did I do? Well, I made a date with Sims 3, Lifetime, and Rocky Road ice cream. Then, I realized something.

It's too easy to focus on negatives. There always seems to be this mental checklist of obligations/wants/needs that have yet to be fulfilled.  When will we realize that we are WAY TOO darn hard on ourselves? 

So what.... you're having a bad day. You made a mistake. Things aren't going your way. Something awful has happened. A really nice looking fella turned you down for a date. You were caught singing in the shower. The pants that fit last week are feeling a little snug today. You just got dumped. You're stressing out about starting another semester of college. (my sitch.) I'm here to break the GOOD NEWS! It's okay to not be okay. Something I've come to understand and experience. Let yourself have this bad day. Then, pick up the pieces, right sign, pride, microphone, carrot, tissues, and in my case, books. And start fresh tomorrow. 

Remember that you are LOVED. Remember that you are BEAUTIFUL. Remember that you are WORTH IT. Remember that this WON'T LAST FOREVER. Remember to SMILE. 

This great life doesn't come with a manual. Sometimes we've got to endure tough times-- with no direction. Sometimes we even feel a little lost.  But we will always find our way back to happiness. Though, it never truly leaves.
