Where you are now is not where you will always be. There are brighter days up ahead.
-Joel Osteen
Hello! ( helow! )
I' m the type of person that greets someone with a high pitch, perky and with a wide smile hello! I always wanted to spread positive vibrations. Everybody has different struggles and problems in life but in my case, I don't want the world to know about it. As much as possible I am trying to keep it by myself but there is such a time that I needed to cry and have someone to listen to all my dramas in life. Thank you Lord for my friends. (You know who you are).
That moment when things doesn't go the way you wanted and imagined it to be? I feel ridiculous, devastated and unhappy at the moment. Hmmm. Should I kill myself now?...
Let me share you one of the craziest thing that I ever did when I am still figuring out how to cope with everyday dilemmas. There was a time back in college that I dated someone. He always makes me laugh and I can talk to him about everything. It turns out so well until one day he stopped talking to me. I wondered why just to find out that he's back together with her long time girlfriend. Ugh! I whined like a baby, lose my self confidence, feel pathetic about my self and doubted my self worth and all the blah, blah thingy when a woman is having a heart break. I even drag my friend to a pub to drink with me after school. I was so drunk that I couldn't even walk home...I went home and Papa saw me in that situation with my nursing uniform. Obviously, he didn't like it and I was grounded for a long time. I wanted to blame my teenager's hormonal outburst. LMAO!
That thought me a major lesson in life. - DON'T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING THAT A GUY WILL TELL YOU. Sounds funny, corny, hard, bitter or whatevz but this is one of the necessary thing that girls should always have in their mind. I don't need to elaborate on this matter.
Anyhoo, that was like 5 years ago? Not sure but on the past 5 years everything has changed and I learned how to develop better coping skills.
I am now in my mid 20's and starting to think about my future. Dealing with everyday problems makes me think what and where should I be in the next 5-10 years. Btw, I am not seeing myself getting married in the next 5 years. I am more worried about my family more than everything else. That makes me sad everytime that I think of em' since I am living alone from afar . Me missing them so bad :((( but my mind keeps telling me "get up girl, wipe your tears, wear your favorite lipstick and be ready to kiss some ass". I always do that and after a few hours, I'm gonna be okay. That's how it usually goes. I am certain that I did finally learned this time.
I wanted to share the list of my coping strategies that really helps me along the way.
1. MUSIC - This is a temporary stress relief. I am now loving different genres lately. I am into classical music lately. I.E. Astrud Gilberto and Queen.
2. WISHLIST - this keeps me motivated to work my ass out harder. (:
Some of them are..
* PS3 - we had PS1 that I think it's so obsolute now adays. I mean, really.
* DSLR ( Nikon D5100 ) - I once had a Nikon D3100 and I sold it for some reasons.
MacbookPro - I don't know. It looks cool though.
*ENTERTAINMENT ROOM- new bad ass TV and home theatre for the family since we do love watching movies and series together.
3. The DON"T GIVE A FUCK ATTITUDE
-The lesser you give a fuck the lesser problems you have
4. FORGIVE
-Learning how to forgive the people who have wronged you would literally decrease the load of stress that you have. It works for me.
5. SEEK GOD
-Handling everthing to God may it be your financial problem, emotional problems or such would definitely help ya. I don't know how but for many, it is called "FAITH". But of course, you still need to get up and do something about it.
Favorite verse from the Bible:
I can do all things through him who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:13
Short and simple but has a great message.
When I am about to start writing this post, I am in a very low mood wherein, all I wanted to do is cry. I feel so demotivated, alone and pathetic about myself ( most of the girls can only relate to this ) but, while on my way through it, it reminded of the the beautiful things that should motivate me and how thankful should I be. Now, I am feeling a lot better.
How about you? What's your easiest way to escape the dramas in your life?
Love,
Katy
