It Kills Me

It kills me, to watch the light leave their eyes
It kills me, to see their wretched pain
It kills me to see the last puff of breath 

It kills me, it kills me, it kills me

Q: Why can't we all be happy? Why do people feel hate? And why, God, does it have to happen? 

A: To bring us together. 


We don't blame Germans for Hitler
We don't blame Christians For KKK
AND WE WILL CERTAINLY NOT BLAME MUSLIMS FOR ISIS

Self Confidence

Hi guys!!!


I know, I know I haven't posted in AGES! But I have been really busy with school stuff and all that shabazz. So, to make up for the long, unofficial break, I am going to write some uplifting content for ya all! Mainly because we have all started school and have been forced given up the Internet to do History homework... 





Self confidence is a trick ol' thing but it comes in very handy in matters when you feel a bit icky. There are lots of types of self confidence and I am going to try and give my best advice about each and every topic. 

Body Confidence 


This is something I really struggled with when I was slightly younger and occasionally still struggle with now. The thing people have to understand is that your body is yours. And no one else's. I always used to think, 'Ew I have a little bit of flab drooping down!' or 'I am sooooo short! I bet when I am older I would be a midget!'. But I soon realised that, sometimes you have to accept it and look on the brighter side. That little spot their on your chin? Well, aren't you glad that your face isn't COVERED in them? Oh, your braces and how you hate that they stick out? Very soon you would be able to take those off and smile at anything and everything whilst all those people who mocked you would have revolting yellow teeth and gum disease. And who will be the one laughing with perfectly white and clean teeth? That's right, girl, (or boy) YOU! 


Embarrassment


I know this isn't a kind of confidence but sometimes embarrassment can hurt. So to avoid situations like this,  I am going to share a little embarrassing memory with you all! Don't worry you can laugh!! I know I did after! :) 

In physical education we where practicing long distance in preparation for sports day. It was my turn and I was racing 4 other girls. I started off pretty well but as I turned a corner I accidentally fell down onto the fairly damp grass. My glasses had bits of mud and grass on them but I got up anyway and continued running. The bad thing was that I kept on slipping up on the grass and ended up really far away from the others who were racing ahead. My self- esteem was officially lost. And, to make it worse, everyone was laughing at me. So as you might guess I came 4th out of 4 people and the boys, who where watching me, laughed so hard they were close to tears. Ever since then whenever the boys saw me they always used to say that I had already lost. Of course this didn't help and I told my mum who told me not to worry about it and that they would eventually get bored and move on. I hated this piece of advice as they still teased seemingly endlessly (my whole year joined in aswell as my crush which really hurt)  but after a couple of weeks had passed the joke had lost it's humour. The boys tried to get everyone laughing again but thankfully failed. This just shows that people really do get bored of pointless jokes that sometimes be hurtful. But you just have to keep your chin up and a smile on you face until it stops!  

Tips on how to stay positive 

In case you are dealing with embarrassment or lack of body confidence here is a few helpful tips! 

1) Keep something comforting with you 

When I was little I had this tiny little Sylvanian Family mouse- doll about the size of my thumb that I used to never part with for a second. I took it to school, swimming and even in the toilet (ew, right?). This little thing brought me so much joy and comfort but with one look from anyone else, they would instantly throw it in the bin. But, in the end, I eventually grew out of my little mouse bear -as my cousin used to playfully call it- but I still couldn't let it go. So I kept it in a small box and buried it deep in my wardrobe. A couple of years later, we are selling the wardrobe and I have the exciting job of taking all of my clothes out of it. I soon reach the bottom where all my hats and scarves are so carelessly thrown and start picking things that I want to keep. I eventually reach a little box buried deep under one of my scarves. Curiosity getting the better of me as usual, I reach down and pick it from the whirlwind I used to call my closet and look inside. Amongst  some crumpled tissue paper I see a little doll. A bit smaller than my thumb and I still have my little mouse bear with me now. 

I was recently given a little clip by my aunt who was leaving for India. It was a beautiful thing that had a gold bird at the end of it. As you looked closer you can just about make out the tiny little details on the wing and face. This is my current comfort. 

Do you have something that comforts you? Maybe something you didn't even realised you automatically put in your bag in the morning. Or maybe something you have had since you were a baby? Tell me in the comments below! 

2)  Make a positive list in your head

If you make a kind of list in your head of some positive quotes, objects that matter to you or just some simple song lyrics you particularly like. So if somebody is teasing you, you can just remember your carefully planned list and then smile and walk away! Great, right! 

3) Keep a diary!

I used to keep a diary and it helped me a lot!! Just letting all your thoughts, feelings and heart just onto the page and feeling a lovely content feeling afterwords. It can also help you sort things out in your brain. The journal is your friend. No one can judge you there and no one can hurt you there. All you have to do is keep it in a well hidden space!! 

So that's all for today, folks! But remember that you are your own person.  And NO ONE can change you except from yourself.

Don't forget to comment and follow!

Going Back to School and Exams

Hi guys!
In this post I will be talking about Going back to School and Exams!

Now going back to school can be a stressful time or a fun time depending on how you look at it.  You can meet your friends after the long weekend and catch up on all the latest gossip. But, on the other hand, you have to tough out Math class with that super scary teacher who always hangs around you when you are doing your work... Yeah, I've been through it all... 
       
                  




The main reason that most people look forward to going back to school is to see their friends and make new ones. But I love going back to school because I love buying all the new stationary... Yes, yes I am a stationary geek! Am I the only one? 



New rubbers, pencils of different colours (I bought some lovely neon ones for this year!), textbooks and tiny little sprinkles on top! 
Sometimes things you don't even need. You know you have that awesome sharpener that shaped as a world... but they have a sale in the football ones! Oh, I have a pink rubber at home... oh, well I'll have it anyway. Besides, I don't have a green one... I GET YOU, GURL ( or guy!). I go crazy at the back to school sales! Most of the stuff I have bought is right at the bottom of the stationary draw which would probably be worth millions because there's ANTIQUES in there! A rubber from 2008 and a ruler that was "cool" because it was bendy. STOP! JUST STOP. Stick to a cheaklist, ok? Or handcuffs...  

So my next subject is the all important EXAMS. Dun, dun DUNNN!! Now, whatever exam you doing, your guaranteed stress- and lots of it! I am going to write some studying hacks here so you don't feel stressed whilst studying: 
1) ALWAYS  keep a glass of water next to you. That way you can keep a clear head and be watered at the same time! Also, you might want to include some nibbles. Nuts, dried fruits or chocolate would do the trick! Whatever floats your boat. 
2)  KEEP flashcards! Preferably with the info that you struggle with so that you can learn in a flash! Get it? These are really helpful for on the go, in the hallways before the actual exam or even just for day to day revision! This, personally, is my favorite tip! :)
3) SIT in a place where you won't get any distractions (especially from annoying sisters or brothers!) that way you can keep focus on that tricky algebra question... 
How about you comment down what your tips are and how you are going to apply them in school life?! That way we can all make sure we actually do them! 
  
  I hope all the tips and tricks in this post  helped you in the way it helped me!! Tune in next time for the last part of Runaway Boy! Oooohhh so exciting! 


                    See you later!
