Objective: correct release of unwanted sensations.

Introduction: Showing negative emotions is not cool. Tears are for the pathetic. Sadness must be locked in and hidden three layers under skin: enthusiasm, neutrality, and anguish.

Procedure:

When in solitude, follow the subsequent steps accordingly:

1- slowly peel layers one and two.

Layer one: cool positive outlook on life with an adequate level of mind clarity. Highly socially approved!

Layer two: cool neutral state. A resting bitch face is satisfactory. Mediocre social approval.

Layer three: uncool but true-to-self anguish. Dangerous and leads to social errors. Must remain fully intact for the purpose of this step.

2- activate natural body signals to control the use of layer three. Trust your gut feelings for optimal efficiency.

You’ll observe anguish gushing into tears: A clear soul-cleansing salty liquid. Mmm tastes anguishy!

Don’t calculate the percentage of error. Tear percentage will vary from experiment to another.

3- steadily get out of solitude, rearranging layers one to three. One laying on the surface, three deep underneath. Two in-between. One and two can alternate in case of emergency. Beware of maintaining third layer’s invisibility.

Hazards: tears can lead to a coughing response to clear throat from accumulated phlegm.

Don’t choke on your own tears. Breathe slowly.

10 winter simple pleasures

Posted on by palebluefragment

1- Holding a warm herbal teacup with both hands and breathing its vapors. Closing your eyes softly while doing so.

2- The gentle warmth that enters your body when you get onto the bus after freezing by the station and it’s -20 degrees outside.

3- Getting out of the shower all wet. Subtly directing the hair dryer inside your shirt and in your ears.

4- Feeling the Strepsils lozenge melt in your mouth, soothing your sore aching throat.

5- Putting a cream that smells delicious on your dry hands. Running your hand on your face and feeling your satin skin.

6- Placing your feet so close to the heater. Feeling it sending warm chills to your entire body.

7- Holding someone’s hands when you don’t have gloves on or putting your hands in someone else’s warm pocket AKA your personalized human heater.

8- Feeling like a fluffy stuffed animal with your full winter gear on and enjoying your chunkiness.

9- Cocooning in your bed, melting into your blanket. Being lazy but subtle, all with a hella good of an excuse.

10- Add yours.

Reborn

Posted on by palebluefragment

The great thing about moving to a new country other than escaping a terrible situation was the freedom of being reborn. Of being a complete stranger. Of not being expected to be anything. I could be anything. I could be anyone! I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about the past anymore, but memories remain vivid in my dreams. This is home. This is my home. But I know that one day I’ll have too many memories, know too many people, and want to be reborn again, somewhere new.

Wishes

Posted on by palebluefragment

If wishes make you happy wish until the end of time. Wish every person you knew happiness cause they deserve it, even the ones who caused you pain. Keep changing, growing, and embracing life. Work hard but don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s okay to mess up every once in a while. Leave the past behind, you are yourself now and nothing can change that. Make mistakes, lots of them! It’s healthy trust me. Say yes more often. When you feel like staying in your sweet comfort zone and not taking a risk, that’s exactly when you need to go against your feelings. Sometimes you’ll realize it was a mistake but there’s no mistake more foolish than sitting there wondering what you’re missing out on as life passes by. Learn from the good in people, appreciate it and talk about it. Be loud and confident. Some people won’t like you and that’s okay, stay kind anyway. We’re made of goodness and evil, that’s what makes you complete. The evil in you is just as pretty as any other. You don’t need friends who only want you the way they envision you to be. Cherish the ones who like you whole

20 things I’ve learned in 20 years

Posted on by palebluefragment

1- Having a bitter past is a curse you can’t change but can only try to accept it and move the hell on.

2- Peer pressure is real and you’re not truly mindfully independent until you completely stop it from changing your original thoughts and desires.

3- Being straightforward and honest will keep authentic people around you and cut the rest.

4- Finding perfectly fitting jeans in stores remains a dream.

5- Spending money on things that warm your soul is not silly nor a waste.

6- Changing your hair color/style is the best bad idea.

7- Being “too nice” is never a good thing. In fact, being the extreme of anything is never a good thing.

8- Don’t allow yourself to get close to a damaged person or try to fix them. Some people will pour sadness into you as you’re trying to pour care and happiness into them.

9- Never use the word insecure when thinking or talking about yourself. I know you’ve done it when you were younger but there’s no excuse for it now that you’re twenty. Look in the mirror. You really are beautiful.

10- Love with all your heart cause you never know when is the last time you’ll get to see someone.

11- Seek adventures. Keep being creative and learning new stuff. Time is moving forward and you’re 20 years old but you’re only getting older.

12- You may be a “cry baby” when someone hurts your feelings andthat is okay. You shouldn’t try to bottle up your emotions. It doesn’t work anyway.

13- Don’t always trust your new year’s resolution. If something feels stupid that’s cause maybe it actually is!

14- Minimalism adds more value to your possessions and life in general, and it might be one of the greatest things you’ve been working towards. Keep going.

15- Live every day as if it’s the last day of your life. Feel every moment as deeply as you can, cause a good memory doesn’t replicate itself.

16- Speak your opinions loud and proud. If you disagree with someone’s idea don’t ignore it or nod your head. You’re allowed to express yourself and you should.

17- When it comes to long term goals, make happiness your number one priority and work towards whatever is it that will make you feel happy and accomplished as you look back in.. let’s say 5 years from now.

18- Your home is not the piece of land you were born on. It’s where you feel like you belong, and you don’t have to justify your feelings to anyone unless you want to.

19- “Being open about who you are is not a weakness.” I heard this exact phrase somewhere and it made me think about vulnerability and the way we perceive it and how a huge part of who you really are comes from being comfortable opening up about your thoughts and emotions and sharing them with the right people.

20- Friendly advice: I’m sorry that for the most of your life you had friends with a drastically different taste in music, but don’t lose hope searching for your music soulmate bff. They must be out there.. somewhere.
