Negativity

Hi guys, welcome back to my blog.

Today I wanted to have a little rant about negativity and what it can do to people if its allowed to spread, nothing beauty or fashion related but it is lifestyle related and I wanted to talk about it because I know we all face different kinds of negativity every day.

It could be as small as someone telling you you look tired that day or it could be something big, like if someone were calling you overweight, underweight, bullying you or treating you like your less of a person than they are, like your not as important in the world. I know we have all faced these things in life and I wanted to write about it today because it has been really bugging me lately. In my head, being nice is not hard. All being nice takes is a smile, a compliment, even a hug sometimes.

You will all be able to relate to what I'm saying, because you all have that one person in your life who you know will take all of the negativity out of your day and make you smile. It could be your best friend, your boyfriend, a family member or even your pet. it doesn't matter who this person is, it only matters that you have them, they are a rare find in life, some are lucky enough to have more than one of these people in their lives. It's tough when you find yourself surrounded by negative energy to be optimistic about your day, or your week for that matter, but I am writing this post so that when you read it you know that there is always someone on your side, if you don't have anyone in the immediate facility, then you can remember that I am on our side, I do not believe in negativity, so you always have me.

Negativity can be soul crushing and we cannot let it hurt us or undermine us from our dreams or our goals in life. Some people in the world are just not happy with keeping their negative thoughts to themselves, we see it everyday, everywhere we go and I believe the world would be a better place if people just thought about how their negative words or behaviour affects other people around them. I'm not saying that everyone should be positive all the time, I know that's not really possible, but I am saying that people, including you and me, should try their best not to put someone else down, not to be rude or mean to anyone. I know this can be tough when tempers rise and people are frustrated, but think of how much of a positive effect you would have on someones day if you took some of the things you say and stopped saying them. Calling people names and yelling at someone is not how you get them do do what your asking or to be your friend, saying please, thank-you and being nice can.

I will admit, because I'm not perfect, I do loose my temper sometimes and I am rude or impolite, I'm human so I know that its ok to have days like that, but if you have a day where negativity has just taken over, say your sorry to anyone you may have hurt. An apology can go a very long way, we should use them more often.

We all know what it feels like to get put down or be bullied in some way, so why would we afflict that sadness or pain on to someone else who may not deserve it? No one deserves to be treated like they are not important, because we are all important. I want anyone who reads this to remember, you are special, no matter what anyone says, you are important and your goals and dreams are just as important as anyone else's.

I'm sorry for the rant, but I need to get that out today, if you guys would like to know what I do to deal with negativity or how I try to keep it out of my life then comment below and let me know, I can do another post on that.

I hope I helped some of you today and I hope I've inspired you to be a little kinder to those around you. We all have to live together, so getting along wouldn't be the worst idea.

Talk soon!

Being A Blogger Is Not What I Expected

Hi guys, I know I haven't been active on my blog for quite a while... sorry about that, but to be honest, it's not what I expected at all. I'm not saying that I expected to be bombarded with followers and opportunities to make me rich or anything, but I thought making the commitment to writing a post once a week or talking about a topic on the world wide web that was itching at me would be so much easier than what it has turned out to be.

I'm a pretty normal person, I go to college and I work, like most twenty-somethings like me, but I found it increasingly difficult to bolg about anything. When I started last year in March I thought it would be easy and it went well for me for the first couple of weeks or months but then it got harder and harder to think of what to talk about or do. I found that I didn't know what to write about, what do you talk about when potentially millions of people, or in my case maybe ten, have the chance to read what you've said? Does that not just live in your mind and turn the whole idea of blogging into a harrowing experience? Just me? I know that I want to do this, because to tell you the truth I like writing and talking about things that interest me, like fashion or beauty or everyday topics, but I find it so much easier to talk about these things than I do to actually write them down or type them out.

Please tell me I'm not alone here! There has been countless times where I have thought of something that in my mind would make a good bolg post and that I myself would like to read but then when it comes down to sitting on my laptop for a period of time during the day I just cant make any sense of what i am trying to get out onto the page. It's almost like I stop myself from doing it for some unknown reason. Maybe I have serious commitment issues towards my laptop and it's surrounding environment.

Anyway, my point is... I find this whole thing hard, and it shouldn't be, its not like I'm Zoella and have the pressure of making sure a blog, or video in her case, goes up, although serious snaps for that girl, I don't know how she does it! I'm finding this hard and I don't want it to be hard, I want it to be fun and a form of emotional therapy or an escape for me, so that is what I am going to view it as from now on, my escape. I want to continue the blog for that reason and if I make some friends or get great advice from another Internet user along the way then those shall be perks of the whole experience.
In conclusion, I want my blog to be somewhere I, or anyone else can go and relax and maybe get a little giggle out of how horrifically unorganised my entire life is. So I'm back, and I want to stay back. I don't know when you can expect to see the next post from me but don't fret because it won't be too far away!

Thank you for reading my rant, and especially if you got to the end, your amazing!

That's all for now.
Talk soon.

xoxo
