Bandaids Don't Fix Bullet Holes

I'm the first to admit when things aren't going my way, I take it really hard. I mostly take it out on myself but sometimes I find that I get grumpy with the people around me, which is really not fair. It's hard to get yourself out of a funk, especially when it feels like one thing after another is bringing you down.

Here are a few ways I try to get over my bad days:

1.Writing it out | I really enjoy journaling. Its probably the easiest way for me to see if I'm being over dramatic with an issue. If I'm annoyed with my whinniness when I reread my own word then so are the people around me!

2. Talking to my best friend | I don't know about you but my best friend is the most incredible person I know. How we aren't related I'll never know! As I was talking about something I'm struggling with I mentioned that I feel like I'm lying about my feelings, she said "I'm the one person in the world you don't have to lie to". She is the one person who won't judge me or tell me I'm wrong for feeling how I feel.

3. Talk to family | When my best friend isn't there, sometimes it's nice to get some advise from the people who are programmed to love you and have been there before. Sometimes I call my grandmother just to talk, with out going into detail, and she gives me the best advise without even knowing it.

4. Take time out | It is completely okay to be sad. If you need time to go cry, take it. If you can't get the issue out of your mind and you feel like you need to cry, take yourself to the bathroom and just have a moment. Sometimes all you need is some privacy.

5. Breath | Meditation breathing is one of the most effective methods I use to get myself calm again and refocus. It so easy but so effective.


Remember, time heals all wounds, even broken hearts. Sometimes it takes longer to heal but it always happens. Band aids don't fix bullet holes but time does.

P.S. The picture might confuse some people but it's from Taylor Swifts new music video bad blood where the quote "band aids don't fix bullet holes" came from. She just looks so tough here! I love it!
