Self Esteem Penguin !

Happy Thursday !! 

Today I over heard someone call to someone else as they walked off, " Have a positive day!" and that made me smile :) So here's this weeks top ten pins to try make you smile  <3 

This is sooooo cute ! And easy ! I'm definitely going to start making these as gifts :) 

I have no words ... 

The Doctor... quoted Mary Poppins... I'm not sure I can handle how weirdly happy this is making me ! This is not how normal people should react ... I probably need medicine for my weirdness , and a spoon full of sugar to make it go down ;) 

Always something to remember :) This reminds me of a video Carrie Hope Fletcher did a while ago called "Easier Said Than Done" Which is great and you should definitely check it out :)

Important messages brought to you by a penguin... look at him waving his little flippers around ! ^.^

Less than a month till Valentine day ! I will be putting this to good use <3 

soooo if I love fairy dust then is that extra strong magic then ? Because for a teenager, I buy and awful lot of fairy dust :) 

Can this be my excuse for wearing my sparkly car ears in public ? Don't judge me aha Carrie has a pair so I wanted some ;) 

How do these all work ? This is some weird hedgehog-ology that I don't know about ! I really need a hedgehog now , I've always wanted a hedgehog :) My birthdays July 19th if anyone knows where they can get me a hedgehog aha ;) 

oooo new challenge for the week ! Tell one person that you love them each day of this week :) Even if you just leave "I love you" on a post it note for a stranger, wouldn't that be nice ? <3

I hope you have a lovely week :) Comment your favourite pin and if you want some more positivity from pinterest then you can follow me here for quotes, happy stuff and cute things all week long :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

Self Harm Distractions * Trigger Warning*

Hello 

This isn't going to be a usual happy blog post but it's important . I've known too many people who self harm for too many different reasons that should never lead them to feeling like it is the only option . I am not a qualified professional and If you are effected by self harm I definitely urge you to go and find professional help to stop,  which I talk a little about at the end of my '100 reasons to live' post which you can find by clicking here . Today I'm not talking about stopping self harm because I believe the main key to that is talking about but today I want to talk about distractions to get you through the night because if you stop yourself every night then eventually that can lead to stopping completely . 

What is Self Harm ?

self-harm

sɛlfˈhɑːm/

noun

1. 1.

   deliberate injury to oneself, typically as a manifestation of a psychological or psychiatric disorder.

verb

1. 1.

   commit self-harm.

Self harm is very serious and can take place in many different forms that deliberately cause physical damage to yourself,  including : 

• Cutting or scratching 
• Causing bruises
• Banging their head against a wall
• Pulling out hair
• Burning 
• Falling over 
• Breaking an arm or leg

What self harm isn't : 

•  Just attention seeking . Maybe it is a cry out for help or maybe it's a secret release, there are so many different reason but if its a cry out for help then they need attention for something and if that is the only way they feel it can be asked for them,  they definitely need help with something . So give them that help . 
• Something that only happen's to people who are depressed or suffering from any other mental illness. Anyone of anyone age, gender, background or religion can be put in circumstances which may lead to them feeling the need to self harm . However I truly believe that every one of those people can (with a lot of hard work and help) overcome this and get better because I believe in you no matter how bad it's got and regardless of whether you still have any faith in yourself whatsoever. I still believe and will continue to believe in the wonderful person that is YOU . <3
• Something that self harmer's enjoy or they wouldn't do it. No NO NO No NO NO! Just NO . I'm not even going to comment on this ridiculous myth . If you seriously think that someone enjoys hurting themselves ... I think you need to think that through again because you got confused somewhere . 

Distractions

Okay so I promised distractions so distraction's you will get. Just to remind you this is NOT an alternative to professional help but just to get you through the hour or however long it takes <3 I love you . I've asked people in the Help and Support Boards of the hopeful forum for their in put and some of my friends whom have been affected. Additionally I've done a lot of  Research on as many reliable sites as I could and I will leave links to sites that can help or have useful pages at the end of this post  Also if you have any good distractions or beneficial idea's please feel free to help others as long as you are kind feel free to comment whatever you wish. 

• Call Someone. I can't say this enough times because it's so under rated but it's so so beneficial and important . " You Are Not in this Alone"  I have this written on my bedroom wall next to my bed for whenever I'm sad because as humans we tend to convince ourselves that we are alone when we're upset but you are not more alone than you were ten minutes before are you, really ? Call someone, anyone . You have people who love you and care about you . You don't even have to talk to them just call them and cry down the phone for a bit . Whether it's your family, your best friend or childline ( 0800 1111) you can call them . You are never alone . 
• Punch a pillow . This is a good way of releasing tension if you are angry or worked up . Just make sure what you're hitting is soft so that you wont damage yourself . Hitting a rolled up newspaper on a door frame does a similar thing . 
• Scream ! Seriously darlin, just get it all out of your system and if people are in the house try screaming into a pillow . 

List the good the good things about yourself. Don't even tell me there isn't any because there are . It's not a bad thing to think about the good things in yourself . Nowadays girls seem to think it's not okay to actually say " Do you know what ? I'm me . I'm okay with that . I am beautiful " ergh society makes me so angry . I might do a blog post about that at some point. But seriously just look at the small things like well your eyes are a really nice shade for starters <3 

• Have some "me" time. Go run yourself a bath and cuddle up in bed having a Inbetweener's marathon ( or anything you like , but something that might make you smile would be good ) . 
• Paint your nails. This keeps your hands busy and that can be extremely useful . 
• Knitting .. you should make a scarf for the winter I know you're still going to be here for <3 
• Cross stitch , how about you make a cute little cross stitch for the friend who's always there ? Or even just for you because I guarantee you are worth it :)  
•  Baking, being organised and weighing out the measurements and doing something productive is a good way to start to feel a little more in control .
• Painting
• Drawing
• Playing an instrument, if you can sing or if you can't , go and sing your little heart out until the hurt has gone away . 
• Writing, you could take all that emotion and turn it into a best selling novel ! Wow it's going to be amazing I can just see it now ;) <3 
• Clean you're room or organise something . It can help if you feel out of control this can distract you, give you a sense of achievement when you're done as well as  please your carer ;) 
• Play games ... go kill someone on GTA or Rock out on guitar hero, whatever  takes your fancy aha .
• Squeezing an Ice cube 
• Sucking on a Lemon ... For the shock factor . I don't know how well this would work but anything's worth a shot and I guess it makes sense aha ;) 
• Give every person in all your magazines a moustache 
• EXERCISE! Exercising is key to calming down and de-stressing and whilst it's de-stressing you you're releasing feel-good endorphins that but you on a natural high making you feel happy :) Now doesn't that sound like a nicer alternative ? <3 
• Run you're hands under freezing cold water 
• Counting ceiling lights or tiles to distract you and write them down as you count to keep your hands busy ... and if your hands still need to be busy after that make a graph to show lights in all the different rooms of the house :) Sounds boring but if your hands are busy then it's fantastic :) Just like you <3
• Write out the lyrics to your favourite song <3 There's a line I like in Pierce The Veil's " Hold On Till May " that says : " If I were you I'd put that away, See you're just wasted thinking bout the past again. Darlin' you'll be okay . " They're right you're going to be okay. Maybe not right now but if you give up now then you're never going to know <3 It's difficult and I understand that but you need to hold out a lil bit longer honey . 
• Learn to swear in another language because that's clearly a talent you need to have far more than that mark which you don't <3 Trust me . 
• Memorise a poem with meaning .
• Feel your pulse to remind yourself that you're alive and that's pretty damn awesome (( <3 ))
• Make a notebook of your favourite quotes that help you ... PINTEREST TIME ! :D 
• Make yourself a safe place whether its some beanbags with blankets in your room or you've added nine pillows and every cuddly toy you own to your bed just make it cosy and lovely and put a book or your laptop next to it whichever you like . Now go take a freezing cold shower ... I know I'm sorry if it's a bit chilly but try . Once your out the shower pop your nicest fresh PyJama's on and climb in to your cosy place and notice how warm and safe it feels in comparison then watch YouTube, Read all of the Harry Potter books or Catch up on every episode of The Great British Bake Of ( WOO ) whatever makes you feel all snugly inside and do it all night . Just have sometime for you to be calm ... and add a Milky way , that's what I give myself when I having some calm time ;) <3
• Bake ! I'm sure it will be yummy :) Maybe you'll be in the next series of bake off.. wow that would be so cool, yeah you should definitely bake :) 
• Listen to music ! This is the most common method , please comment songs that help you <3 
• Get a Wreck This Journal ... and wreck it ;) 
• Brose Amazon and Ebay .. Kit out your whole future house with your imaginary unlimited budget :) 
• Write a letter to brighten someone else's day ... maybe even a stranger and you could just leave it in a cafe ? <3 

These are just a few alternatives ! There are loads and you can do all of them . I Know you can . I want you to know that even if it feels unbearable .. it isn't  . You can hold out and get through this and there doesn't need to be a mark on yourself to show you felt like that . If you need help ( which you do if you feel the need to hurt yourself ) please, please ask for it . It's out there and available to you and yes it might be scary to ask but you need to honey and it's always better than suffering alone . You just need to stay strong because you are a fighter and don't you dare under estimate yourself because if you think that you can't do it , 1) You're going to trick yourself into believing that . and 2 ) If someone else told you that you we're too weak to do something would you listen to them or prove them wrong ? Self belief is important and you should believe in yourself .. because I believe in you and I don't just believe in anyone , You're special .  If you do mess up , try again . When you were a kid you didn't just magically stand up and be able to walk perfectly did you ? But when you fell down you got up and look at you now . A beautiful , wonderful strong example of a human being ... wow :o <3 You're amazing . 

Here are a few useful websites I found for you <3 :)

When Offering Your Pinkie ...

Hello , 

I don't really know what this is, I wrote most of this on a car journey I'm not entirely sure why but these are the thoughts in my head that I have named " When Offering Your Pinkie" . I have recently realised that there is next to no support for people who support their friends through mental illnesses. This is wrong . There needs to be support in place for the friends of people with mental illnesses because "One in ten children between the ages of one and 15 has a mental health disorder." (The Office for National Statistics Mental health in children and young people in Great Britain, 2005) It's fairly likely that a lot of these people have friends who try to help and do an excellent job but it angers me that those friends are not also given support . What do you think ? Anyways I don't really know what spurred me to write this . But I hope you are well and here are the words my mind gave me when trying to piece together the support that I believe is needed for both sufferers of mental health issues and their friends . 


Don't just walk away . 
Offer them your pinkie and say ;
" I wont let go if you won't " <3 
If they go to sleep purely to escape the bitter sadness; 
Send a text saying ; 
" I love you " 
So at least their day can start with a smile :) 
Never let them forget ; 
" You are NOT in this alone " 
They arn't and neither are you <3 
Don't forget to mention that , 
" It's going to be okay very soon " 
The tomorrow they need might be tomorrow ... 
If they give up they'll never know . 
Are they feeling weak ? 
Like there body can't support the weight of there mind ? 
leave a note in their bag saying ; 
" Stay Strong Beautiful " 
The strength is still there. 
People lose sight of their strength in the darkness. 
Just because you can't see something, it doesn't mean its not there . 
Light a match over their strength for them <3 
If they can't get out of bed then pull them out , 
Do their hair and tell them to put on their best clothes . Say ; 
" Everyday is special .. just like you " 
When they cry ? Let them . 
Let them cry and don't move until they're done . 
Then fetch them chocolate and say : 
" You're worth the world but I only had a piece of chocolate ... 
but it's good, like you " 
Ask questions ! But listen to answers . 
Don't tell them their problems arn't bad enough . 
Listen before they are <3 Let them know ; 
" Everything about you is always worth my time " 
If they ask for help ? Get it ! 
Don't question it . Say ; 
" Okay , we'll find a way "  

But if their pinkie starts to slip from yours , 
Grab them with both hands and yell for help . 
Tell them ;
" You're not going anywhere." 
Never make them feel bad for needing your pinkie . 

However don't fall with them . 
The weight of their mind might just pull you over as you reach out to save them . 
If they drop then don't follow . 
It's not your fault, never is your fault and never will be . 
Watching over a friend , Keeping them safe , 
You're trying your hardest . I see that darling <3 
And let me just tell you now that you are doing so, so wonderfully ! 
You are so enough , I promise . 
I promise to both of you that you are enough . 
But YOU ; the friend that offers their pinkie . 
You are just like them; 
You're both the strong ones ! 
You're amazing <3 
And you know what ? 

" Take my pinkie ! I won't let go if you won't, because I love you and you're not in this alone . I know it's hard and you feel like you're losing your strength in the darkness because you held out your match for them but I'm telling you I can still see it <3 I have never thought of a kinder soul but you . Stay strong beautiful,  remember you're worth it too! Every day is special, just like you . You're worth the world but I can only give you my word but I promise it's good, rather like you . You're being so generous , handing out you're heart , what a wonderful thing but don't forget your where you starts  ! Don't lose sight of yourself because I guarantee that everything about you is worth my time <3 Okay ? We'll find a way . You're not going anywhere <3 " 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

#100happydays : Day 100 ( WE MADE IT ! :D )

Heyyy :) 

So the final day of my #100happydays challenge is here and I have to say that today's #100happydays is that I've finished the challenge :) Not because I didn't like doing it because I really did but It's e always nice to finish things and accomplish them when you thought you might give up or someone else told you not to bother because "there isn't a point " . There is a point and the point is it matters to you and YOU are important and deserve recognition by yourself as a person who requires the same amount of love and kindness from yourself as other people do . You are as important as everyone else and you should do what makes you happy because at the end of the day you want to sit there counting the moments that made you smile and where you felt good about yourself, your world and your life . You deserve that . <3 

I believe in you and if you want to do something , no matter what it is ; from climbing mount Everast, to becoming a successful actress to saying something that's difficult or seems scary . Yes it might look tedious, terrifying , risky and ridiculously optimistic to even suggest you could do such a thing but I promise you can <3 Prove them all wrong ! Every single one and make them shocked make them confused at where you found the courage to do something when they didn't tell you had the ability to.  I can tell you where you found that courage . IN YOU . Because you are an amazing, wonderful, complex, intelligent and above all kind , human being and you can do anything you put your mind to however big or small . I believe in you and I say that over and over in so many of my blogs but it doesn't matter because the only person who really needs to believe in you is you :) I know you can do it and you need to let yourself know that you can do it because you're getting confused, bewildered by society's expectations and limitations that don't have to be so because you are an individual with your own hopes, your own dreams and your own potential . 

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

-Albert Einstien 

I didn't think I could start a blog and commit to writing regularly but I wanted to and I love writing so I did . I managed it , I talked about a hundred days of my life and It might seem small but I'm pretty proud of that and I'm going to continue because I have so many words inside me that I want to be heard and this is my way of saying them . A lot of days the need to sleep, the frustration when i'd spent two hours writing and accidentally deleted the whole thing , thing stress of finding only happy things to say after an awful day ...yes that would almost over ride the fact that writing made me happy and yes i'd be thinking if I stopped writing it would matter and I've been told that but it matters to me . And I like you am a human being and we all matter and if something makes you happy oh my gosh do it ! Don't let it bring you down though, if you need a break have a break if you want to do something else do it ! As long as you're happy  But don't ever stop because you've had a bad day or someone has said it doesn't matter .

I really hope you have enjoyed reading my #100happydays challenge blogs :) You can find the website to read about how you can do it here  :) I really think this challenge has benefited me and I have even started a little notebook of one good thing that happen each day so that I don't stop looking for the good little things because if this has taught me anything; it's that the little things are way more important than the big things and I way too often used to forget that <3 If you have been doing the #100happydays challenge then please link to your blog in the comments, I would love to have a look :) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

I hope you've had an amazing day :) 

Much love, Love much-ly

Todays quote is one that just touches me heart and it's from the lead singer of one of my favourite bands, All Time Low :)

“I want you to fucking pinky promise me you won't do it. No fan of mine will kill themselves. Don't do it, for me. I love you.”
―  Alex GasKarth

If you ever get this low, to the point that you want to harm or kill yourself then you need to seek help, I'm going to ask you to tell your parents I know you don't want to because it's really scary but that's the way to get help.. even if you can't get the courage to tell them you want to kill yourself or how bad it is really, then how about you tell them " I'm feeling pretty down and struggling to keep on top of things and my friend who felt like this earlier this year said she got a block of counselling and it helped her out a lot " Now it's much better if you actually tell your parents what'sgoing on but if you can't then say something like that to get yourself someone who you can tell because I know you don't want to see your parents upset honey but they do care about you and they would want to help you .. But most importantly you just need to get some help no matter where from lets just start you getting better and we can make it through this together <3 If you self-harm then I am currently planning a blog post about distractions when you feeling the need to hurt yourself but for now can you just stay strong and hold in there for me, all of you because you ARE going to make it through this I know you are <3 Please feel free to comment your reasons to live because your reason might just be the one that saves the person who reads it.. see I told you that you could save the world ;)

There's a Youtuber called Marina Joyce who did a video about why not to kill yourself and it's truly heart warming and well it made me cry and if you're feeling suicidal I think it would probably help you out to watch it :

 

 

Also here are some other videos that may help you , they're on depression but they do talk about suicide as a part of that topic <3

 

 

 

I hope this has given you enough to get through today :) You're going to be okay <3 Here's a video that will make you giggle to get you started with feeling a lil bit better even temporarily :)

 

 

 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

 

 

Talk to you soon

Much love, Love much-ly

#100happydays: day 49 ( It's My Birthday :D )

ITS MY BIRTHDAY !!!! :D

Cutest pressie EVER :D
Too personal to talk about
 properly but I wanted
 to give it a mention
 because I'm so so grateful
 for this <3 I cant describe
 what it means to me :) 

Sorry I'm in a very good mood ... have I mentioned it's my birthday because it's my birthday and I'm just really happy because ITS MY BIRTHDAY :D * Deep Breath * okay its safe to come out ... I'm calm now ;) I know you probably wouldn't guess this from the massive overload of excitement you just experienced ( yeah sorry bout that ) But I actually don't like birthdays usually but this one was a bit different I guess I'm just generally a happier person this year and that makes all occasions seem better... and everything else actually :) Well what can I say ? I've always told you that smiling is good ;) So today .. what happened today ? urm well I woke up at 7 ( I know waayyy too early ) so I went to wake my boyfriend up and fell back asleep with him <3 Then about an hour later when he woke me up we went downstairs and I ate some crumpets ( I eat them cut into quarters because that makes me happy.. I'm weird like that :) ) We watched Adventure Time while we ate because why the hell not aha ;) We'd arranged to meet my friends in town just to go shopping at eleven thirty ish so I had to get ready I mean it might only take him twenty minutes including showering ... but I was struggling with the two hour limit ;) Anyways, while we were waiting for the hot water to heat up; I opened my presents off my boyfriends family which were AMAZING :) They must know me a lot better than I knew because they bought me two of my favourite things... Socks and Pyjamas , I mean Just look how awesome these socks are !!! :D After my shower I realised that I needed to straighten my hair and oh my gosh I cannot tell you how relived I was to know that I had brand new straighteners off my mum that would mean my hair would actually stay straight for more than just the entirety of half an hour when I'm lucky :)

I seriously would recommend these to ANYONE <3

How awesome are the chairs in hobbycraft !! :D 

Once we finally got ready we went to meet my friends in town and I just want quickly go off subject for a second ... have you been to McDonald's recently ? If not why not ? I went in today and made the most amazing discovery of my vegetarian life! :D Currently McDonald's have these GORGEOUS cheese bites in and oh my gosh they're like a taste sensation exploding in your mouth and just mmmmmm * mouth waters*  The reason I think I love them so much is the coating on the cheese bites , as a vegetarian I've found that the one thing I miss more than chicken ... is the actual breadcrumb coating with all the flavours and spices that just taste awesome :) Please go and try them, it will make your life better aha ;) Anyways, about two million calories later ( worth every one of them ) we went off to look round the shops and I bought some feathers in Hobbycraft because ... okay because they looked fluffy ... I'm sure I'll have a purpose  for them something , right?  ;) 

Then came presents :) wooo ! aha :D I'm so lucky to have such cute and thoughtful friends who know me well enough to get me such adorable ( and funny ) pressies :) I think I'm just going to show you pictures off the things off my friends bellow because it would take forever to thank all of them individually but I am so so grateful to have people like them in my life :) Also There's one I can't have a picture of because my best friend got me the amazingly fantastically wonderful :D give me a second I'm getting too excited * Deep breaths* tickets to see Cats the Musical :D You couldn't understand how thrilled I am by this gift and I can't wait for September 23 rd to go see it :) However as I am me she doesn't trust me not to lose the tickets hence why there's no picture but yayyyy :) 

Made me giggle :) One of my closest friends who is a boy has a joke with me that were married ... I expect he got some weird looks whilst buying this :) 

Meet MShadows the bear :) My friend who loves Avenged Sevenfold got me this addorable bear and as Buildabear workshop isn't really his scene he panicked and named the bear after the lead singer in Avenged Sevenfold aha :) 

LOVED this necklace <3 My friend and me have a thing about butterflies because they're a symbol of staying strong to us :) I don't have many necklaces and am really trying to build up my collection and this is just perfect :) 

I have a minor ( massive ) obsession with Wonder Woman :) A friend who I have become very close to in the past few months got me this awesome mug with socks ( you know how much I love socks aha ) and oh my gosh they're so awesome :) I'n my blog a few days ago where I spoke about the nicely wrapped present that was driving me crazy because I wasn't allowed to open it ... well that's this one and it was so worth the wait :D This girl is always there for me and an absolute angel <3 She makes me proud everyday and I will enjoy many a hot chocolate from this amazing gift :) 

We Then went to the park for a little while and I spent about twenty five minutes on the swings because I was that feeling that you're flying :) My ideal date would actually be going for a proper picnic with the cute little triangle cut sandwiches and strawberries and chocolate Yazoo milkshake and then spending the rest of the day on the swings or just drawing and reading in a nice field someone ... yeah if I go on a date like that I'm guessing I'm probably taking myself aha :) Oh well I'm okay with that ;)

Finally around six o'clock we went home and I got ready to go to my dads when he called and asked if my boyfriend wanted to come over with me for some cake and for some unknown reason that actually made my day :) So I put on my favourite summer dress and the butterfly necklace that I showed you a few pictures ago and we went for cake :) My boyfriend left the cutest thing on my notice board and a drawing of a tiger that was completely unrecognisable as a tiger but it made me laugh :) Then we went down stair and ate birthday cake ( Aldi's finest at £1.49 aha ;) ) and everybody sang which made me happy :) Then there were even more presents off my dad and sister which I'll show you : 

CHOCOLATE !!! <3 

I can't express how much I love all the songs from wicked :) 

My parents will probably never take me on another car journey again aha :) Sing-song Time ! :D

Also I got a UKULELE ! :D I've wanted one for so so long :) What could make this better ? well I'll tell you :) The book if Disney songs on ukulele that I got with it :) YAYYYYYYYY

I think that's all I have to say for now :) There's another present off my dad which is totally awesome and like the best thing ever but I kind of want to do a whole post about it so COMING SOON ;) Before I go I just wanted to show you my two favourite cards :) One I thought was funny and the other I thought was just cute mainly because of what was on the inside but I also liked the outside cause it was such a pretty design :)

Or do you know any others ? Feel free to comment them below :)
