Life is short, eat the Cookie!
Sometimes we can all be a little hard on ourselves. I am definitely the first one to admit this. There were days where i didn’t see any beauty in myself, which in turn I didn’t see much beauty in the world. You just have to step back and give yourself a break every once in a while. I DID! And i’m learning to live life each day to the fullest, appreciating the little pleasures hidden in the everyday grind.
Everyone deserves to live a happy life, and appreciating the little things is a GREAT START! Doing what makes you happy is a great way to boost your self-esteem, and see how beautiful life can truly be.
Yesterday, I planned on going for a run being that the weather was perfect and getting back into my workout routine is one of my top priorities. All day I thought about it, I even talked about it, I was determined to get my miles in. But as the day went on I found things to do around the house that were far more important, at least that’s what I told myself. PROCRASTINATION! (and ill let you in on a little secret, I didn’t get much done around the house either)
Chalking up my day to being a lazy day in, not too thrilled with myself for not getting much done, I was just going to go to bed and start over the next day, DETERMINED to go on that run ;) I walked out into the living room to get a glass of water, and BAM!!! I was hit with it. The warm, sweet, chocolaty, aroma of a FRESH BAKED batch of chocolate chip cookies.
Before I could even compliment my roomie on the smell of her midnight snack, she tells me that she baked some cookies and to come help myself. Now i’m going to be honest here, my first initial reaction was exactly what i’m trying to steer away from, “YOU don’t DESERVE cookies” and the landslide of negative thoughts about myself stemmed from there. At the top of the list was “you didn’t go on your run today, how dare you eat a cookie” Followed by “you’re out of shape” and “you didn’t stick to your diet already today” Its crazy how easy one negative thought can turn into a landslide, and sooner or later you’re just beating yourself up.
At this point I took a step back and took my own advice, appreciating the little things and not being so hard on myself. My house smelled amazing and my roomie took the time and effort to bake a fresh batch of cookies. So I grabbed a pretty plate, 2 cookies, and my favorite coffee mug and filled it with some milk. (I don’t even drink milk, but when in Rome right?) And a random batch of cookies turned into a night of laughing and watching reruns of our favorite guilty pleasure, Desperate Housewives.
The point of this story is allowing myself to EAT THE DANG COOKIE turned into a fun night with my roomie, and of course catching up on the drama of our little guilty pleasure ;) I truly appreciated the little things, no matter how little they were. I appreciated my beautiful plate and goofy coffee mug and the fact that I was able to have nice things. I even appreciated the milk, even though I don’t really like milk, there was something rather refreshing about dunking a fresh baked cookie into a mug of ice cold milk. And of course I appreciated my awesome roomie!
I even was able to put my own little positive spin on consuming a bunch of sugar after midnight. It was the little bit of motivation I needed for myself to get up the next morning and go on my run. And that’s what I did. I started today off with a great run on a nice day, and with an open mind of what beauty the rest of the day had in store for me.
Give yourself the permission to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Allow yourself the gift of doing absolutely nothing, like me on my lazy day in. And give yourself a little bit of praise when you accomplish the little things, like me on finally getting to that run. Life is too short to be so hard on ourselves so I am giving you permission to cut yourself a break and….
EAT THE COOKIE!

Something interesting I just realized, because I‘m experiencing it pretty badly at the moment:
It‘s hardly talked about, but once you are making noticable progress in your recovery from depression the damage it has done on your life really starts to kick in.
Suddenly you‘re more aware than ever how much work/social events/life in general you missed, because the question „Why did you achieve so little over the past couple of years?“ is absolutely inevitable and people will think that you were lazy during that time.
I think this is the most dangerous point of recovery for relapses, because whenever someone asks you what you did or didn‘t do while you were sick the realisation hits like a train.
Me saying this could definitely be regarded as pretentious, since I myself haven‘t exactly found a way to cope with this feeling, but I feel like it‘s very important to drown out those voices of „you didn‘t do anything“ „you were just lazy“ and „you‘re a complete failure, look at you“ with thoughts of „I survived.“ „I made it through“ „I managed not to let myself starve, I showered“ „I fed my pets/watered my plants regardless of how terrible I felt“
I‘m mainly saying this to myself in this post, but figured maybe this makes it onto the feed of someone who needs to hear this as well. Stay strong guys, we can get through this!
gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
hello!!
welcome, this is where i will be doing it all. This is where i will embrace everything i’ve ever loved and have been to shy to do and embracing a new part of me that will be the forever me.
i’m a senior in highschool and i’ve been suppressing for a long time and i think it’s time to stop.
i’m blogging everything from fashion, books, emotions, men(?), music, k-drama, celebrities, manifestation, language, and MORE!
i’m embracing every part of me; my new found confidence, motivation, interests, and everything i’ve been too scared to let out. Call it narcissism, or being delusional i don’t care anymore i will get where i want to be and be the baddest, most improved version of myself.
i’m tired of being insecure about things people have pointed out about me (when i literally never cared in the first place), things i really like but everyone hates, and things thats i should never hate about my self. i’m tired of belittling myself . to walk into a room and feel secure. i love me and i dont want the real me to slip away completely.

Thank you in advance for joining my journey and i hope it helps you all in some way too!
Spread Love<3
We often find people around us whom we usually consider as "bad attitude person", "moody", "arrogant" or "attention seeker". We tend to avoid them. I personally think, by avoiding them, we are not letting them be heard. People will have different sorts of behaviors and ways to express themselves. It doesn't necessarily mean they are to be avoided and be left alone all the time. If we clearly understand that the person is craving for attention, why not giving them some? Seriously, it won't take us long or any effort just to say hi or ask how they are doing. Just do it you know, you'll end up feeling good and you're gonna make the other person feel good too. Just a simple thing and we are both delighted, isn't it? Let's spread love because we all are meant to be loved<3
E lá vem outro dia...
Único, abençoado... iluminado.
Seja com sol... chuva, nublado ou claro... é um presente.
Presente esse que nós recebemos com 'bilhetinho' dizendo assim:
"- Este dia é todinho teu, como presente... é a graça de mais um dia de vida".
... E o que podemos fazer?
AGRADECER, aproveitar e fazer dele, o nosso melhor dia...
Sorrir, caminhar, olhar com ternura a natureza e com amor o nosso próximo.
Podemos acrescentar mais esperanças aos nossos sonhos e força em nossa fé.
Podemos viver... simplesmente viver.
Bom dia.Abracos ❤️mil 💋❤️bjs 💋❤💋😎😋🤓🤗😆😘

You are not a candle that burns for anyone. Instead, my dear brother, you are attempting to light candles for everyone around you.
