Feeling sorry for yourself. We're all good at it, me especially. My goal is not to come off hypocritical in this next post because God knows what a downer I can be. All I'm trying to say is that there is a lot of reasons to look at life with the glass half full rather than half empty.
Now lately there have been plenty of new relationships blossoming and the news of these relationships have been smothering any WHSer's Facebook Newsfeed in the past week. Along with these relationship updates have been a series of angsty, pity-fiilled tweets attacking these love bugs for their happiness. For people who feel like they deserve someone to like them, I can honestly not think of anything that is more unattractive. I'm a firm believer in self-fulfilling prophecies and if they don't believe that any guy is ever going to like them, then I can almost guarantee no guy is ever going to like them. It's not that they should go out and make it their prerogative to find a guy but at the same time sitting on their can sulking in their sorrows isn't doing them any good.
I know I have had my fair share of pity parties, anyone who has read my previous blogs knows that. What really gets under my skin about all of this is how people handle this in relation to others. I' m the queen of pep talks, I love making people feel better about themselves. But when I spend a good chunk of my time reminding you how beautiful you are and then you respond with a message shooting it down, don't expect a response or sympathy from me. I can only play the violin at your pity party for so long.
Following is a happy list, because lately I have just been SO HAPPY!
THINGS I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR OR JUST RIGHT NOW IN GENERAL:
1. Skipping through the aisles at Target wishing everyone a merry Christmas in a British accent.
2. Buying things for anyone in everyone. I just don't feel like spending my money on me lately.
3. The smell of the Christmas tree when I'm being a load and sitting in my family room all by myself.
4. My fuzzy socks that keep my feet toasty warm in the winter.
5. Gazing adoringly at Neiman Marcus shoes that cost more than I have in my bank account (Okay I actually hate this but I love the shoes so I had to include it).
6. Making friends with whoever I meet, I just can't help but love everyone lately.
7. My Bels sisters, I couldn't ask for a better group of people to call my family.
8. The smell of gingerbread cookies cooking in the oven.
9. Knowing that I will get to spend time with my family in less than a week and a half.
10. Knowing that I will get to see my best friend in LESS THAN A WEEK!
So to my beautiful wonderful friends, this is not meant to be a rant. I just want you to be happy. Boys are not the key to happiness. Just living life the way you want to is. The good stuff will come with time. It always does.
