Okay so I know I sound like I complained a lot in my last post but despite all that, I do have some upsides I guess I could share. If I find happiness in them maybe others will too.
#1(And my most important upside). Music! Music has always made me feel happy and I can’t help but get lost in it for hours singing along while I play video games or draw, which leads me to…
#2. Art. Drawing, painting, and writting help me calm myself down, usually because despite the fact that a lot of my drawings can be very morbid looking it helps me push away negative feelings for a while.
#3. My bestfriend (and I mean bestfriend as in nothing can ever change us being friends). This friend, he’s special. He was my first boyfriend and yeah we dated twice and broke up but he never stopped caring about how I was feeling. He even admits to still loving me and we only broke up because he lived so far. Now he’s moving back and I think having him closer will help me feel calmer. I mean (and yes I’m about to start going on for a little while so if you’ve read this far I’m suprised.) he’s been there for me at my worst of times and comforted me. Everything about him is strangely calming, despite the fact that he scares the hell out of me when he plays with his knives while we’re video chatting haha! No matter what’s happened I know I can go to him if I need to talk, which really makes me happy. We’ve both gone through some of the same things, though I think he handles stuff much better than I do. He’s overall just an amazing person. This boy has managed to make me laugh, cry, and smile until my face hurts and I’m just greatful to have him around.
#4. My pets. Weird? Nah. I have a ton of cats and two dogs and when all else faild, as crazy as I seem, I talk to the and play with them. Hey, a friend is a friend. 🙂
#5. Sleep! When all else fails I sleep stuff off. I literally slept from four o’ clock in the afternoon til six the next morning once. You may wake up a bit sore but sleep deffinatly helps.
So things aren’t all too bad, I mean yeah it’s rough and eventually it hurts really bad but as so many people tell me, think posotive. And as I say on occasion, good vibes only! 🙂

Thanks for the good vibes, I needed some perspective today. Good list too. Full of all the best things…and cats 🙂
I just read your last post and can understand why you feel the way you do. It’s weird, we live in a society that’s afraid of confronting and acknowledging pain, but then grieves deeply over the outcome. I like that you talk about taking your own pain and fighting it with art. That used to help me too, maybe I will try again. Or you know, sleep. That was also a good suggestion.
Anyway, all I really meant to say was thank you for the post.
I always try to lok at things with an open mine and god perspective, though it didn’t always work it did sometimes, that’s one reason I made this list, so others could hear of some ways I cope with everyday life. Thank you for reading it, it always puts me in a good mood to hear from other people. 🙂
