No matter how many pigeons are waiting to crap on you, you sit on the steps. No matter how many clumsy girls are ready to trip and spill purple nutrition whatever on your shoes, you still go to the place to get a dang smoothie. Even if 8 out of 10 cars are going to so elegantly hit the one puddle in the road that could splash you, walk on the sidewalk you goof. There are dogs out there. Amidst all the bad just waiting to come and dull your vibrant day, you've got a whole lot of good and obnoxiously happy out there begging to cross your path. There is always something good to come of something that has potential to go wrong. Did it already go wrong? Don't worry, look at yourself!

When you stare (glare) into a mirror, depending on the time of day, if you're a little bit normal you're looking okay, like definitely sub par but not quite vile. "Alright what can I do with what I have to work with today? Nothing!" No, wrong, very wrong, take a good look again. Nothing, I repeat nothing is stopping you. Want to make something better? Do it, fake it, believe it is until you've actually made it better. Want to try something new? Get out there and do it, girl.

If people can like Miley Cyrus through it all, you've really got a lot of room to work (remind your mom of her comeback if she questions you, I haven't tried it but really what's the argument). And as you're counting your double chins and seeing if you can make your stomach look pregnant from different angles, embrace yourself and your spirit. Ain't nobody got time for you to be doubting yourself. Seriously, not to freak you out or anything, but there are people watching you. Like not creepily but just watching to see how high you soar and who you become. Let that belief build you up even more.

You sad about what people think about you? Get out of bed, watch One Tree Hill (for the third time) another day/all night, and get with the girl gang that lights your fire and loves you, scratch that, ADORES you more than you know. I mean you chew with your mouth open eating pizza, frosted animal crackers, Tostitos, and leftover Pinterest stir-fry around these people and they still post pictures with you on Instagram and tell you how hot you are. The truest love is a gal that sees you at 8 a.m. class, 4 p.m. post-nap, 11 p.m. all fancy (I want to say classy but really not classy come on), and 2 a.m. in one of your two bathrooms or elbow deep in a gallon bag of croutons. Oh, stop you know you've done that. Oh, wait... But really, so you dyed your hair the wrong box color from Walmart, showed up to class looking all kinds of a rat's nest, or took it too far (maybe tear level) last night. You've got people on your side and if they're good ones (which you know they are we don't play anymore), they'll lift you up morning after night after night.

You're blue about something that happened to you or that someone did? Sweet girl get out of your own head. No amount of over-thinking, re-analyzing or drafting of texts is going to solve your quarrels. Stretch out, take a breath, and let things fall into place. This coming from the least patient person to exist, time will put everything into perspective. Don't feel bad for yourself, feel bad for the person, object, pronoun, verb whatever that knocked you off your high horse (unless you needed to be because sometimes we all do). This doesn't mean you shouldn't process it; honey, cry it out. You don't have to be so tough! That's too much pressure. Let loose in the shower or wherever, blast the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack, and let yourself feel what you're feeling. Then cut the crap. Do it once, twice, then get on with it. You're too cute to be sad about something you can't change.

What about nothing? What if you're 'fine' but you're not your normal sparkling self? Honestly this is so many of us. There's just daily suck that festers into us and makes super sunny days feel overcast. Where we're just bleh, tired, stressed, worried, over it. This is where we have to be self-disciplined. Some internal life coach has to pinch you in the butt, flick you in the noggin, and open your eyes! Put some spunk in your boring days; you can't be your badass-self if you don't do things that build your spirit, encourage your soul, and test your mind. Every challenge and obstacle makes you better. So if you have a lot going on, then you've got a lot going for you.
