#100happydays: day 32 ( music: a remedy for all <3 )

Good Afternoon :)

 

This is going to be short because I want to write and hopefully post a June favourites blog tonight :) Today I got home feeling messed about , annoyed, stressed and wanting to go to bed and stay there only maintaining a sociable relationship with the love of my life which is my laptop ;) Non of these emotions are particularly positive so I didn't want to feel them so picked up Eliza-Rose and sang my little heart out until the pain fell out my mouth with the words, until I didn't feel weighed down like I wanted to cry and until I felt like a life not just a body . In case your wondering Eliza-Rose is my guitar :) I know mentioned previously that I'm one of those people who names their drum set ... well I'm also one of those people who names there guitars . I haven't named my piano though... I think it's because I'm actually awful on piano and it's not really just my piano to name because I share it with my sister :) If you've had a crap day you need to find yourself a distraction. Do something that your passionate about and makes you smile :) I know I've said this before but it is really important and if you want to read more into it you can find my blog post about it here :)

 

I'm going to have to go so I can write the June favourites blog

I really hope that if your not having a good day that it gets better , there's always time to turn your day around :)

Just try to Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley

" Not everyday is a good day. You may feel like hell and some you may feel like nothing could be worse. Keep your head up, because someday you will have your day. It could be tomorrow or the next day but that day will come, and it will be the best day of your life, just you wait."

Much Love, Love Much-ly

#100happydays: day 24 ( TFIOS Film - Warning minor spoilers )

Good evening :) 

I still haven't caught up on my sleep due to staying up to write two blogs yesterday , so this one will once again be short .. and hopefully sweet :) 

Today was a good-ish day that got better ... and better .. and then even better and now ? well I am in a very good mood :) You know those moods when you just feel warm and cosy and kinda fuzzy inside and just want to cuddle up in your favourite pyjamas in bed and continue to think lovely thoughts until you drift off into dreams of them ? yeah well I'm in one of those moods :) So how did you get into such a mood that sounds so perfectly marvellous ? I hear you ask ... well you probably didn't and probably aren't particularly interested aha which is fair enough but I think I'm going to tell you anyway because I'm sure I can fit some form of minor life lesson in there ... and if it gets really boring you can just skip to the quote at the end ;) 

So lets start at the beginning or a day that gets progressively better :) Firstly when I got on the bus that I nearly missed ( because it's me and I'm un-organised ... I think I can assume you have already picked that up from my late posting times aha ) I sat down and got a precious 30 minutes to read my book which is Sweet Honey by Cathy Cassidy it's the last in a series called the Chocolate Box Girls . I really enjoy her writing however this series is not my favourite of her books ... actually I don't think I could even pick one maybe Scarlett ... or Gingersnaps... or maybe Driftwood aha :) I might do a top ten books list in another blog post at some point ... that should be urmm interesting as I can't even decide on my favourite book by only one author haha :)

Then My friend got on the bus who hasn't really been feeling great for days however after an assembly about the possibility of going on a four week exhibition around Ecuador in 2016 with chances to learn to scuba-dive, Help out building in the community and meet and help school children who live in such different circumstances to us . The prospect of a new eye-opening experience in a one of the most bio-diverse places in the world , to indulge in a new and amazing culture and through ourselves into exciting opportunities all whilst travelling across a new country for such a long period of time just gave us both a massive burst of enthusiasm :) Soon we were talking about how amazing it would be if we could go and possible fundraising ideas if we do and even though we know it's pretty likely that we might not get to go, she cheered up very quickly :) I think that if your feeling down or you know someone that is, then you need to find something to be enthusiastic about or to work towards . This will automatically give you a new sense or focus that people can't take away from you and the prospect of something new and exciting can make you feel way more enthusiastic than sitting in your bedroom, eating chocolate and allowing yourself to wallow in self pity all day :) For example . say you didn't get then grade you want be it in a music examination or a school test whatever it was , pick yourself up, dust yourself off and say right now they think I can't do it so i'm going to work hard so that I can prove them wrong . Be honest with yourself .. come on everyone likes proving people wrong ;) Or even if it's just about doing something that you want to do and have wanted to do for a while, just go for it ! What's the worst that can happen as long as your pursuing your idea's safely and not causing anyone any harm then a new hobbie is a fantastic thing to pull yourself out of a time when your feeling really down :) If you want to read more of my stuff on passions I wrote a blog about it which you can find here :)  I know you can do anything you put your mind to :) So for once I think I'm going to put today's quote here in the middle instead of at the end because I like to live dangerously like that sometimes ;) So here have a quote from the most amazing man who was behind my childhood .. I seriously couldn't thank him enough :) 

" All our dreams can come true, If we have the courage to pursue them . " 
Walt Disney 

When I got home from school I did my make up and straightened my hair :) I really enjoy the actual process or getting ready to go out, just how you do your make up a bit different and feel abit more special :) It's important to do things that remind you you're special sometimes because I can promise you that you really are <3 You might just forget it sometimes .. which is okay because everyone forgets things ( seriously the amount of trouble I get into weekly for forgetting my PE kit is unbelievable aha  ) but it's important you let the people around you who you tryst know that your not feeling great because then they can remind you .. like my friends remind me about my PE kit ;) Anyway's so the reason I was straightening my hair ect was because me and my boyfriend were going to the cinema to go and see The Fault In Our Stars and Oh my gosh it was amazing <3 I loved the actors for both their obvious talent and well in some cases simply gorgeous looks *cough* Augustus Waters*cough* I thought It was a good adaptation of the book , it got me pretty emotional .. I'm not going to  lie, I cried but then again so did literally every other person in the cinema . I was vaguely amused by how the cinema was full of just groups of teenage girls fan-girling with mascara running down their faces and the occasional girl with a boyfriend who had been dragged along ... all of which looked sceptical at the beginning but were definitely also crying at the end even if they wouldn't admit it ;) However the film missed out many crucial parts of the book and this did rather annoy me ( and probably my boyfriend as I interrupted the film every 5 minutes moaning about it aha ) But seriously these were such important things to me in the book I was actually completely shocked by how they were just missed out . Things such as Augustus doesnt say he loves Hazel Grace on the plane, they miss out the part in the eulogy about seeing through girls tops, they don't even sell the swing set it's just gone at the end , Hazel constantly calls Augustus  "Gus" so the part at the end where she actually calls him Gus ( you know that really significant bit ) well that doesn't happen  , they miss out like half of the ending, your barely even see see Augustus when he's deteriorating from the illness , and lots of other little things that really annoyed me .. Now I think I've made the film sound bad , that's not what I wanted though . The Fault in Our Stars is a really good film that I thoroughly enjoyed and I would definitely recommend it to anyone :) But please don't watch the film and think you don't need to read the book the book because you've seen it because in my opinion The Fault In Our Stars is a utterly amazing novel which would make grown men cry and everybody laugh and I feel to fully appreciate the story of Hazel Grace and Augustus that the novel is a necessity :) 

My evening then got further better when it was topped off with a long hug and a really cute goodnight text from my boyfriend that left me feeling all fuzzy and smiley :) I hope someone's made you smile today if not then try making someone else smile because that will coincidently make you happy and I want so very much for you to be happy <3 :) Feel free to comment what people have done that made you smile today or even what you have done for someone else .. I mean you don't have to but it would be nice to see that there are nice people and positivity in the world :) 

So now I'm going to sleep to hopefully dream dreams as lovely as my currant thoughts
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 
I hope your all doing marvellously ;) 
Much Love, Love Much-ly

P.s. I'm aware the short and sweet thing didn't really work out aha ;) 

#100happydays: day 16 ( Your Life, Your Passions )

Helloooo :) 

I'm really sorry I didn't write this yesterday. I actually feel so bad aha :) I've been so busy last night and tonight ( friends having a bad time so was looking after them ) So neither of these will be particularly long either but I'm going to try my best . I just knew I had to do them :) 

So today's #100happydays photo is a picture of my drum kit :) I've had her nearly a year now, her name's Anastasia ( Yes I'm one of those people that name their musical instruments ) I've been playing drums for a year and a half ish now and I really enjoy it... Despite the fact I am a very jumpy person and jump every time it makes a noise haha :)  Today I had a really good drum lesson and my drum teacher said I'm nearly ready to do grade two which I'm really happy about. 

I love playing drums so much . It helps me calm down and I like the way I feel when playing them, like I'm in my own little world where nobody can get to me  ( anyone who plays any instrument or has a passion will probably understand what I mean by that ... hopefully .... maybe I'm just insane :/ oh well :) If I'm insane I'm definitely not suffering from the insanity , in fact I'm rather enjoying it ;) ) I started Playing drums because people said I couldn't. No one believed I could do it let alone stick with it ...I like proving people wrong and breaking stereotypes because it's always fun to shock people out of there stereotyping :) After all it must be said that the number of male drummers in proportion to female drummers does outweigh them rather a lot which is unfortunate because playing an instrument or having a passion that makes you happy is so important and fun :) If you don't have one go and find one it might make you feel really good about yourself . Whether it's knitting, swimming , blogging, playing a musical instrument or anything in-between. Just find whatever makes YOU happy . Do not let someone else who is not you therefore doesn't have the right t live your life in your place control your self-belief causing you to not try new things and take up hobbies because there doubt in you shouldn't matter because that thing you don't do because someone said " oh you'll never do it" or " you'll never be as good as ( fill in name here) " Might be the best thing you never did. It could make you so happy and if it does it doesn't matter if your as good as the other people there's always going to be someone better and someone worse than you . If there was no one better you wouldn't have anything to aim for and where's the fun and ambition in that :) Trust me I'm not a very good drummer ( no seriously I'm not ) but I'm better than I was when I'd never picked up a drumstick in my life ;) well I hope so anyway but regardless of that ; It makes me happy and happiness is important because the your smiling and I know I say this a lot mainly cause I'm unimaginative but also because its true aha ;) Smiling is good for you , and I like your smile so If for nothing else then where it for me ... go on , pretty please ? pretty please with a cherry on top ? :) You are an amazing example of a human being and I believe in you now go and show everyone else that they should too :) 

Sound's cheesy but It's right  and we all need a bit of cheesy- ness
now an again ... damn I like cheese especially mozzarella 

There's a great video about passions on YouTube by Savannah Brown I'll link to that here :) It's really good and writing this blog just reminded me of it and I think it's a great video. Savannah words it really well ... a lot better than me aha but she's definitely worth watching . Oh and while your on her channel she did a Slam poem called " What Guys Look For In Girls"  It's really good for self confidence and really, really worth your time. She wrote it in response to one of those what guys look for in girls tag videos ( If you couldn't guess by the title ;) )  Savannah puts it so well please watch it is so important for girls to hear words like hers :) She is the person who first inspired me to start writing slam poetry and listening to it :) Enjoy ! 

So this keeping it short because I need sleep and have another post to write after this didn't really work out I guess .. Oh well,  good talk :) I hope you enjoyed it I'm very very tired so I'm sorry for any mistakes and once again I'm sorry for the late post . However please do go find a passion and don't allow anyone to stop you pursuing them with dumb dream crushing words . You take those words and you can throw them back in there face ( not literally violence is never the answer) when your on stage in the west end singing your heart out or accepting your Olympic gold medal for gymnastic's or even handing your grandma a hand knitted scarf ;) You can do this, I know you can :) ( as long as you do it in a safe way, please don't be like my hobbies swimming and run into the sea when there's no one around,  get swept away and die... because that would not be fun and i'd feel really bad and I'd miss you because your worth a lot in this world no matter what you think  ) So go and pursue your dreams , and If you say you don't have any then go and find some , try a load of new things I'm sure you'll find something and you never know unless you try :) Unless your hobbies doing drugs or something ... in which case please stop and find something that wont ruin your life in the long term, make your family cry when they find out and probably leave you with lasting damage ... seriously just take up knitting ;)

I'm in the mood for a Disney quote today , this is one of my favourites :) 

" They can't order me to stop dreaming " 

- Cinderella 

So I hope you have a very lovely evening . 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

You're going to do amazing things, I just know it . 

Much love, Love Much-ly
