I have been single for a hot minute once again, but as I think about it, there's always something a little nice when I think about my past break-ups. Of course it feels awful and during it, you just want it to be over and done with already, but when you're that low, I feel as though the highs are that much higher and much more memorable. When I think about how traumatic my first break-up was, all I think about is the way my friends lifted me up and the things I embraced that gave me hope, which I really cherish. If you are having trouble finding the light amidst the darkness or need some help on how to cheer yourself up right now, be it a break-up or any other event that has left you devastated, I am here to share with you some of the little things that helped me feel lighter and more hopeful. I hope these can help you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm sending you all my love.
Watch Movies & Shows You Can Relate With
I don't know about you, but I have to be able to see myself in a character and then watch them blossom to remember that life goes on. Now you may or may not agree with my taste, but my go to movie is always Forgetting Sarah Marshall and my go to TV show is Grace & Frankie because Peter and Frankie are usually like my soulmates at this point in time. Basically, find a premise that is similar to your situation and make absolutely sure that it will make you laugh and it's a happily ever after type of movie at all costs. Laughter is always the best medicine.
Make a Pinterest Board Dedicated to Your Dream Life
Pinterest is an incredible outlet for making yourself feel good and it can help you organize and get to know your dreams and personal tastes better. A week or two ago, I was inspired to make a board dedicated to my dream life that was filled with everything I ever wanted, no matter how random. It was the most zen and happy I had felt in a long while. I had lounge clothes, pictures of charming houses, bubble baths, handwritten letters, tea and cake, cocker spaniels, beautiful locations, good daily habits, musical instruments and quotes that I wanted to be able to relate to someday. I mean what a great way to remind yourself that you have so much to look forward to and how much good is waiting for you.
Make a Bucket List
This has a very similar feeling as coming up with what you would want in your dream life, but it's much more literal and something you can cross off as you go through your life! Where would you like to go? What would you like to see? Who would you like to visit? What would you like to participate in? What is something new you would like to try at least once? Those are a few things I thought about while I created my extremely extensive list which I don't think I'll live long enough to fulfill, but hey I get so excited to live just looking at it and that's what matters.
Get Educated & Dive Deeper in Your Interests
Oh this I absolutely love. Do you want to know how scandalous Mozart was in his day? Do you want to start learning Welsh for no reason? Do you want to perfect a gourmet meal? Do you want to know how weird and morbid people in the Victorian era were? Maybe recite your newfound memorized poems at parties? The world is your oyster. Start learning something new just because and you'll find it's really fun and a great distraction!
Believe in Something & Explore it
This always makes me feel more seen, understood and peaceful to know that I am being looked out for and cared for by a higher power. But you can explore anything that calls out to you honestly. This can be something spiritual or even a conspiracy theory, but something you can put your energy into and feel good while doing it. You can even explore things you don't necessarily believe in, but just want to learn more about. This is a great way to expand your worldview and understand a little more about humanity or a culture's values.
Dissociate Through POV Ambience
Here are some examples ♡
Make Your Friends Go Out With You
Or just hang out with them and talk. I always feel 100% better after I spend time with my friends or just talk to them about whatever is going on. If you don't have that, I'll be that person for you. Send me a message!
Create Your Celebrity Crush in the Sims and Have a Million Kids
The easiest, most painless, possibly unhinged way to move on. But it doesn't matter because you aren't hurting anyone and it's kind of like making your dream life happen? I don't know. It doesn't matter though because it works.
Anyways friends, I've missed you all and I hope each of you are hanging in there. I have been so busy because I thought it would be a good idea to be a full time student and have like three part time jobs at the same time. It's been rough to say the least. That's probably why this topic came to mind, but please reach out to me whenever you would like no matter who you are! Even if we've never even spoken, because if there's one thing I love, it's friends :)
Hugs & much MUCH love,
Katie ♡
