TEENAGE YEARS 🌠


Soda becomes vodka.
Bikes become cars.
Remember when
getting high meant swinging on the
playground?
When protection meant
wearing a helmet?
When the worst things
you could get from boys were cooties?
Dad's shoulders were the highest place on
earth and mum was your hero?
Your worst
enemies were your siblings.
Race issues
were about who ran the fastest.
War was
only a card game.
And the only drug you
knew was cough medicine.
The most
pain you felt was when you skinned your
knees,
And goodbyes only meant until
tomorrow?
And we couldn't wait to grow
up

Get outside, stay out of bed — Laying in bed is the best thing ever, I know, but it can be so easy to get in there and never get out. This is my biggest bad habit.  I feel more productive even just sitting on the couch. My bed is like a black hole of lost motivation. Go outs...

Self-care/ Mental Health tips — Part 1

1. Create a self-care routine with motivation — By giving yourself some type of reward to wash your face, brush your teeth and shower, taking care of your body, such as only watching your favorite tv show afterwards or getting a scoop of icecream or two, will feel a bit easier to accomplish the tasks that seem simple but can be terribly hard, especially if you suffer from depression. I've learned that combining things into one task also makes it easier, such as once you get in the shower, do everything. Wash your face, brush your teeth, shave, all in the shower. It makes  self-care so much easier.  2. Keep your room clean —  I know it sounds too basic and I also know how hard this is but trust me this contributes to as much as 65% to your mood. I’m absolutely awful at it, even in the summer but it really makes the biggest difference. Coming home to a mess when your life is already stressful and messy enough just makes things worse. I kno...

Once you stop fantasizing about that ideal version of yourself and start working towards becoming that person by setting your alarm clock earlier and actually going to the gym and actually volunteering at places and actually eating healthier and not procrastinating and working just a little bit harder you'll realize that it was so easy all along. Becoming your ideal self will only ever exist in your mind until you make the decision to work towards becoming that person. GET UP!!
