How To Get Up When You've Fallen
Quotes Gram

There are days when you feel down, and its as if no one cares, but try to keep these few things in mind:

1. You are worth more than what you're thinking at that moment.

So you had a bad day, or week, or weeks, but you will be okay. It will be tough, but I promise you are not pathetic, or a failure, or trash, you are a wonderful person who should be thinking positively about yourself, not negatively.

2. Take a deep breath, exhale, and think through the situation instead of crying... again.

Sometimes in life, all you need is a good breather. So take a deep breath, hold it, and then exhale. Then when you've calmed down, try to calmly think about the issue again. Logic is always better than emotion in this case.

3. Today may not be your day, but make tomorrow your day for sure.

Making the next day a better one is as simple as treating yourself, or accomplishing small tasks. You would be amazed at how it feels to have a crap week, but by God your room is spotless!

4. Quality friend time > sad alone time.

Being alone and sad are two of the worst things. Try to get out and about and make yourself be social. Being around those you love tend to make you feel better.

5. Hobbies can help cheer you up, and even boost your self confidence.

Good at sports? Like to paint? Hobbies are a great way to relieve stress, but also teaching someone your hobby or encouraging someone to do the hobby with you can help you get out of that set funk.


6. BUT MOST OF ALL, Never forget that it will pass.

Whatever is bothering you will pass. It will become another day, another memory, another mindless thought. Don't let it haunt you. Instead, make fast with the present. There is so much world to see and explore, and if you let little things hang you up, you'll miss out. So look forward with your head high, and go towards your future with the bright possibilities, not the past with the sorrowful problems.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
