Life is in your hands

Are you one of these people who takes on everything? Whenever a friend or family member needs something you jump on board and do what you can to help out? This is actually a good quality to have, but you need to know where to draw the line! Don’t jump on board if you’re helping out so your friend can avoid something that frighten him/her or makes them uncomfortable. Be a true friend and help them help themselves. Let them face this fear and do what makes them uncomfortable, there’s way more value in that then when you do things for them. Also this will be a relief for you and your friend in the future, now your friend can handle this task on his/her own and you don’t have to. Make a priority of your own time and help out in the best way for your future and your friends and family’s future. Helping others are important, but help them in a way that will help them for a lifetime!

Everything you think about everyday is what will be your life ... And here I am, on my way to a new apartment in the middle of the city. It will be smaller and more expensive but I will have freedom and  happy neighbors, and that is all that matters right now. For the last three years I've had screaming, paranoid crazy neighbors. And from the day I moved in here I've been looking for a way out. My first night in the apartment the son in the house was having a party, he was 17 years old and was home alone. The boys had a lot of music playing (LOUD) and they where throwing things on my living room window and looking at me from the outside. I had just moved in so I didn't have anything to cower the window with and I was feeling really uncomfortable. I let the landlords know what was going on and they made a call to the boy who started shouting and yelling before they left the house. After that the partying was going on every weekend because the parents left the house and...

How do you get out of your own head and into a lighter, happier state of mind when you feel low and depressed?  From time to time people will find themselves in a low state of mind, there's a darkness around them that swallows all the light like the asphalt on a rainy night. How to get out of it is a skill that takes practice and dedication. It's so easy to just let the darkness swallow you and be passive feeling sorry for yourself, instead of forcing a happier thought into your head and actually taking responsibilities for how you're feeling. When you don't take responsibility for how you're feeling you can blame everyone and everything else. The whole world is to blame for how you are feeling and you are just a helpless victim.  Binge watching Netflix and bitching to everyone about your misery confirming to yourself that it's only getting worse and worse with time. Every time you talk about your misery in a non productive way, you add to your own misery a...
