#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

#100happydays: day 27 ( Festival Fun ! )

Hellooo :)

I'm back ! :D Despite how much I loved sleeping in a freezing cold tent in the middle of no where with no WiFi  and next to no sleep ... it's nice to be back ;) So I know I don't ever do my #100happydays blogs all in one day but as I've been away for three days... well i am writing all the blogs now for festival this weekend :) I did mention I was going to a festival with my youth group in my last blog which you can find here :)

Festival Fun day 1

Woo it's Friday, Friday, Gotta get down on Friday, Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend ! ... I don't actually like that song I just felt it was fitting and couldn't get it out of my head... so yeah I'm sorry if you have that in your head all day now , my bad ;) 

#100happydays: day 27

I actually spent today feeling terrified about going to a festival because I get annoyingly nervous about meeting new people and them not liking me and then the day before I go I spend the day inventing worse case scenario's in my head where I allow my self to freak out about situations such as people hating me on my arrival for no apparent reason and throwing rocks at me or something else completely ridiculous ... which is obviously so realistic ;) I only knew three people that were going to the festival because I'm pretty new to the youth group but people from all over the country were coming to the festival so there were going to be 2000 people at the festival :) By the time I was on the coach I was completely freaking out so I sat in the corner listening to  music and finishing my book :) I actually love long journey's because I can just relax knowing that I can be doing anything but reading and listening to music so I don't have to feel bad about it so I finished One Million Lovely Letters by Jodi Ann Bickley. It was amazing ! Such an inspirational book :) If you've read it then let me know your thoughts on it in the comments and if you haven't ... well I personally recommend you go and start right away ;) You won't regret it .

I pretty much stayed like that for the rest of the journey ... and then we got there and I was just like Oh my gosh Lots of scary thoughts entering my head I don't wanna be here with these people ... Everyone was actually lovely and surprise, surprise no one through any rocks at me aha ;) I was however, incredibly nervous when meeting people but I already new the girl I was sharing a tent with and I kept with the people from our group pretty much on the first day but everyone seemed lovely :) My problem is that I'm either super confident and offering hugs to strangers who seem sad ... or I hide behind people barely being able to make words come out wishing the ground would swallow me up , there's no in the middle :)  So if you get kind of nervous when meeting new people like I do then here's a few tips that I found helped me out a lil bit :) 

1) If you know someone and trust them then try and keep them with you , you'll feel better if you have someone who understands you there so your not completely out of your depth 

2) When your walking over to the new people/ person that you're meeting get your friend to make you talk to them it doesn't matter what about but seriously just anything this way you will be talking when the new person reaches you and words will come easier :) I always panic when I'm near someone new so don't talk but this then makes me feel that if I talk it will come out all croaky and they'll think I'm weird and I'll just shut up again for the rest of the time I'm with them until they walk away ... most likely because of the undeniable awkwardness ;) This also avoids the moment of panic before you speak because you're already talking confidently to someone you know :)  

3) Tell yourself this : look , I don't know this person but they don't know me and actually they might be really nice but unless I just go for this and act confident with them so they can see the real me then i'll never know ... I mean this could be my future best friend and I don't want to ruin that by being socially awkward when I know I'm secretly confident beyond belief :) 

4) Talk to them like a long lost friend . Show them you appreciate them talking to you and value this opportunity for friendship because everyone likes friends .. they can change your life :) If you make them feel welcome this way then they will remember you as a really nice person and will want to talk to you again :) 

5) Fake it till you make it - You can do this , pretend you're really confident just take a deep breath and go " heyyy my names ...." and then it's over with and you can just talk freely because you've done it now . If you're not confident then act as if you are because you'll be surprised how quickly you convince yourself :) Try to remember this person doesn't know you so you can have a completely fresh start with this person ... every new person you meet is a really good opportunity so don't even think about it just grab it :) 

So I hope that helps you out because you never know , this person might have a story that inspire's the rest of your life.  I know you can do this because you are AMAZING ! You just don't quite know it yet :)
