Rule number 1 of life

Rule #1 of life: Don't take life too seriously and base/judge your life based on other peoples.

This means have as much fun in life as you can. It's ok to do different things to people you know. It's great to go down your own path of happiness. 

Basing your life on what other people achieve and set out to live their life isn't healthy.

Thinking something on lines of "What has [insert name here] got that I don't to be able to get an amazing husband/partner", it's only going to make you feel bad.

Life is there to have fun with and enjoy. Not living in somebody else's shoes e.g. mother saying she wants you to do a profession like doctor. (a high up job when you rather be a singer for example).

Push yourself to achieve goals yes, but don't get angry or sad when you fail on hurdle. Many more hurdles to over come in years to come. No point fretting. No point wasting time crying about not succeeding at one path. Simply dust yourself down and either try again or try a different path.

suicidal sadness

It saddens me that so many people out there are suicidal, depressed, cutting themselves or silently going through pain.

In this world people shouldn't have to suffer alone. Nobody has to feel so down that cutting or suicide is only way they can cope with it. It's a great shock to my system knowing someone close to me feels like this. All you have to do is be a shoulder to cry on, a friend to chat to or a person to welcome them into your heart.... not exactly pick up the pieces and solve their problems but, help them know you care and are there for them.

Some people might think being alone is better as nobody can hurt them.

Unfortunately it's not the case. They only go and hurt themselves. We are social creatures and the feeling of being alone is better, is unhealthy. Sooner or later you'd need help in life and nobody is there to help and you're left crying and struggling. 

 Say to the world "you don't have to put me down...I'm better than you" 

The world is a big scary place if you let it suck you in. Yes there is a lot of negative things out there.
There are a lot of great things too. If everyone was negative, depressed and thinking the world is too much of a struggle...nobody would get up in morning and it would be a stand still of life. 
Nobody to fill supermarkets for food, nobody to clean up, no friendships made and nobody to save your life when your ill as we'd all be too depressed to live.

So, moral of this message is to be someone's shoulder to cry on and if you're in unfortunate event of being depressed... look up at the stars and say "You don't have to out me down, I can get through this" 

There is always a star shining just for you. A star out there shining and guiding you on.

Mint choc chip icecream make it okay.

I say I'm okay when I'm not. I want someone to pick up the pieces but no...I just carry on eating mint choc chip ice cream to make life feel better.

When people are quick to say "I'm fine" or "I'm ok" most likely they are not or they just want you to leave them alone.

So many people out there put a mask on life. They fake it to make it. They smile on the outside when they're crying on the inside. They pretend to be someone they are not.

It saddens me to think that lots of people out there are not true to themselves and hide away true feelings and selves. Some people don't have a shoulder to cry on or a trustworthy person to rely on/confide in.

Maybe you be that person who doesn't let a fast "I'm fine" or "I'm ok" slide.  Be someone who says "I know you're not".
