How to feel better & be a better person.
If you like someone, wait.
Give lots of compliments, even if you’re shy. Everyone else is too.
Change. Get a haircut, try new perfume, get new sheets. Become better than you were before.
Eat healthier. Learn to cook something fancy.
Get up earlier and watch the sun come up.
Wear soft clothes, take a bath, drink something warm.
Meet someone new, even just a friend.
Become closer with your friends and your family. Call your mother. Cry with your best friend. Tell everyone how much you appreciate them.
Keep your room clean. Buy some candles. Let the natural light in.
Make a list of reasons why you’ll be better off without them. Believe they are true, because they are.
Listen to new music.
Write everything you’re thinking and feeling. Write letters. Write happy letters, sad letters, and angry letters, even if you’re never going to send them.
It’s okay to be sad, but not forever. Sadness is not as beautiful as music makes it seem. Lack of sleep makes your eyes droopy, not deep. Wake up every morning and tell yourself you’re going to have a good day.
Go to the library. Don’t forget to look in the music section.
Remove them from your life. Get rid of the things they gave you if they make you sad. They’re not worth it. You will never be happy if you continue to hold on to the things that make you sad.
Make new memories.
Try to find something to appreciate in everything you do or experience.
Being alone is okay, you don’t have to surround yourself with people.
Become your own best friend. Buy yourself coffee and drink it alone in a cafe. Take your time.
Learn to love every bit of yourself.
Found this list on Tumblr, & I think it's a good list. It doesn't sound so impossible. Baby steps to at least making you feel better if not helps you become a better person. Bolded some of the things I need to improve on. Such as letting sunlight enter my room. I think it's time my "cave" stop becoming my "cave", afterall the days are slowly getting longer now :) YES TO THE END OF WINTER!
As for learning to cook something fancy, I made a vow to start cooking more this year. Afterall it IS my last year studying abroad and God knows I never cook when I'm home.. So when else am I gonna test my powers in the kitchen kan? And truth to be told, I don't think I'm a bad cook, Brahim packets aside.. I swear they hate me.. My cooking for the last few days:
Sambal sardin.
Nasi lemak.
Tom yam fried bihun with Thai fishcakes.
Well, I've only been back from Paris less than a week okay! (Obviously this new resolution of mine to become a domestic goddess is a new one.. :p)
I am also becoming less clingy, ask Banana (she's the clingy one now..)! I spend less time now in her room. Ask Zoe too! I've been ignoring her for days to a point where she messaged me today: "Why don't you want to talk to me anymoreeeee? :(". I swear, my friends are so clingy! :p
As for change... Getting new bedsheets.. Well, can I get new clothes instead? :D No? Okay, bye... :(
