just a few life lessons to go by.

 • It’s okay to not be okay. 

Don’t think that if you’re, you know, sad or upset over something… that it makes you weak or soft to just cry or let it out. It makes you human. Holding those kind of things in aren’t good, alright? Let it out!! Talk to somebody, like me. Tell people what’s wrong. Don’t harm yourself over your own pain or depression when it can be helped. You aren’t ever alone and there are people out there who care. Just give them a chance to hear you out and you’d be surprised at how many open arms are there for you. I’m definitely one pair. :) 

• Listen to music that will boost your mood, not make it worse. 

If you are upset…. don’t play those songs that have, y’know, that backtrack of rain or lyrics that make you cry harder, ahah. That’s not good for you. I get it, you’re in a dark place. I’ve been there. But dwelling in it… that isn’t gonna solve the problem. Just freakin’ get up and shake it off, man. Things happen and it’s okay. Just think to yourself that whatever you’re in now… it’s gonna pass. Go play one of your favorite songs and just let go. Turn up the song “Beautiful People” by Chris Brown to the highest it can go, scream the lyrics until you lose your voice, and dance. Because in that small amount of time, you’re being yourself and it’s the most beautiful you’ve ever been. So stop crying when you can smile. :) 

• Don’t be someone’s shadow when they already have one. 

You are your own person. You’re not meant to be somebody else. You are you. Embrace that and be proud of it. Stop comparing yourself to that person in the magazines that’s been edited to the point where that’s not even a person anymore. It’s a graphic. They’re hardly real. But you know what is? You. You are real and you are beautiful. Stop trying to follow everyone else. Be your own leader and make your own decisions. Stop hiding in your comfort zone. It’s okay to be that flower in a field of weeds. Stand out because that’s what you were born to do. :) 

• You deserve to be happy. 

It’s true. No matter what you’ve done in your past, that does not mean that you do not deserve to be happy. You are young and your whole life is ahead of you. Stop trying to be someone’s definition of “perfect” and just learn to be yourself . Because with every imperfection that you have, someone else out there is thinking that you’re flawless. Don’t fear love and don’t rush it. Just because you don’t have it, doesn’t mean you have to sit around and complain about how “ugly” or “lonely” you are. Nothing is wrong with you. Love happens at the right moments with the right circumstances. When it comes, it’ll come. For right now, just enjoy your life. Be happy because you have every right to be. :) 

• Don’t attack someone for their own preference, lifestyle, or just opinion.

I see this all the time. Face it, everybody has a view on something. You’re not always gonna agree on it, but that doesn’t mean you can’t respect it. If someone likes a singer or band that you don’t? That doesn’t make them “annoying” or “stupid” for being a fan of theirs. For all you know, their music could have a secret meaning to that person. Their music could have saved their life. Don’t knock down somebody or something that could mean the world to them. Religion, sexuality, race, or even just personal crap. We’re all different. We all have different tastes. We all like different people. Get over it. Respect everything different from you. Have a big heart and an open mind.

• Don’t live in regret.

You can’t really regret something because, you know, at one point in your life… you wanted to do it in the first place. It was your choice to do it. If you were able to, like, learn from that then it’s completely worth whatever had happened. Things that you do… you shouldn’t regret because it’s made you who you are today. All I can tell you is that, well, Lion King taught me that bad things happen, but there’s nothing you can do about it. Put the past behind you. Learn from it, learn who you are, and move forward. Everything happens for a reason. :) 

• Just because he did you wrong, doesn’t mean the next guy will. 

Learn to trust again. If a guy is trying to help you and show that he cares, it isn’t because he “wants to get in your pants”, ahah. It means he’s making an effort to show you that he wants to protect you and show you that he’s not gonna hurt you like the other one. If he only wanted you for your body, he wouldn’t be trying as much as he is. 

• Don’t argue when someone compliments you, just say “thank you.”

If someone is giving you a compliment, it isn’t because they want to have that “no, I’m not”-“yes, you are” fight with you. If you want to be happy with your self image, then learn to be accepting of others kind words. They’re saying it because it’s true, so smile and be polite. Compliment them, too. Honesty is the best policy, ahah. One smile can travel to the other side of the world. Spread the love, not the hate. 

• Make time for yourself.

Get offline sometimes. Some of you are on for hours on end, aha. I know that tumblr can get, uh, distracting but it’s not good to spend all day or night on it. Go out and enjoy the outside. Even just sitting out on your porch with, I don’t know… a magazine or something can boost your mood. Go for a walk and think about life and everyone in it. Learn something new or try something that you’ve always wanted to do. Go out and do something weird with a couple of your friends. Just go live and be happy. Don’t let people stand in the way. Do things for yourself, sometimes. Stop trying to please everyone else or keep others happy when the only thing that’s keeping you from being happy… is yourself. Make your own choices and follow your gut. Remember, you gotta be young and stupid before you get to be old and wise.

• Believe, dream big, and never say never.

Nothing is ever not possible. 

You have to make things happen if you want them to. Start making a plan to get there. If you want something you’ve never had, you gotta start doing things you’ve never done. Speak up and follow your heart. Envision what you want and go for it already. Like I said, the only thing holding you back… is yourself. 

If you feel like it’s your destiny to become well-known around the world, then you have to have three things to get you on top. You have to have motivation, determination, and dedication. Without those things, you won’t make it there. You could have so much talent and gifts, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to be successful. You have to find ways to get out there. Do whatever it takes. I mean, try the YouTube thing! Maybe that will work. Talk to people who know people, work your way up, and never say never. :)

There you go, Ten bullets on how to be happier, aha. 

I hope it was able to help some of you. If I was at least able to get through to one of you, I’ve succeeded, haha.
