9/28/2014 0 Comments don't worry be happyHave you noticed how every small decision has shaped our lives, and if we ever took another route we would be standing in a different place right now. Starting from the day we were born, we were given a name , an identity, and with this came expectations from the people around us. But then we began to speak, we began to walk , we began to choose.
Now that I feel closer to college, I keep being confused about life all the time. Between SAT guides, boy problems, and the struggle of never being able to do cat eye liner , I find myself constantly feeling stressed. The stress for myself and people around me has been atrocious and I feel we need to stop this stress. We need to take care of ourselves. For a moment, stop thinking about everything going on in the world. Focus on what makes you happy. For me, when i pick up my pens to sketch, when the sewing machine is on, and when i write this blog are the happiest moments of my day. People say this is just a hobby, which it may be labeled as a hobby but it takes much more passion than any other simple past time. It is where I find peace, time to relax, and new ideas. If I can make a career out of it or not, is not my main worry. I used to think money was the second most important thing in life after food, but it is not true. You can have the best of the best, all the money you crave, and still be missing a shine in your eyes. People do not believe me, but if I have to work as a seamstress, as a cook, if I have to clean tables, if I have to live in a crappy small apartment , I will do it if I can have those small moments of happiness with my sewing machine. Before , my parents would not spend money on paper for me to sketch and that never stopped me. I drew on napkins and on my walls. My advice to everyone is, keep doing what makes you happy, do not lose your inner child. If one day you're having a horrible day , go back to your childhood memories and remember who you always wanted to be. That picture of you in a superhero costume , always dreaming of having cool capes and saving the world. You are still that same person.You save the world in different ways, and even at your worst you put your best face forward , and keep going. Don't let the insecurities, and the bad luck of a day ruin your dreams, because there are people that believe in you. Everyone is waiting for you to shine, show what you got to offer to the world. Stressing over a breakup, worrying about not having money, being depressed because of family/friend issues, school problems, take all the negativity out of your system. Cry or throw some punches to detox all the pain inside of you, but get up and do something. And once that stress is poured out, and you remind yourself what you want, go out and chase it with even greater force. Do what you love.
