Hello lovelies! Today's post is inspired by both my utterly rubbish day,
and one of my favourite regular magazine features - the 'Hey, it's OK...' page
from Glamour magazine. Today was one of those fine, magnificent days when
everything that could possibly go wrong, did. It begun with a rather abrupt
awakening this morning, when the lamp that rests on the shelf above my bed
decided to launch itself down on top of me,(you know you've had a crazy day
when you start personifying furniture) and it ended with a terrible mock
driving test in which I managed to get two 'serious' marks and one
'dangerous'...oops.
Potential road accidents aside, i'll get to the point of this rambly little post. Although I do greatly appreciate all the good things in my life, every now and then, I think it's acceptable to wallow in self pity for a short period of time. It's ok to take a little bit of time to feel sorry for yourself and be a tiny bit selfish.
So tonight, instead of starting the essays that are due in a few days
time, or tidying my floordrobe, I made a bit of time to feel sorry for myself.
I changed into my pyjamas, put the kettle on, and curled up on the sofa with my
favourite magazines to cheer myself up. I know, I know, wild. Afterwards
though, I felt a lot happier, and after ringing my best friend, actually saw
the funny side of my ridiculous day.
I wrote this post as a little reminder to myself, and to you if you want, to
realise that it's ok that things in life go wrong sometimes, and it's ok to
feel a bit rubbish because of them. If you've had a rubbish day, why not make
yourself a cup of tea, stick on your favourite film and have a bit of 'you'
time? I hope you don't mind these ramblings, and i'll leave you with a few
of my favourite Glamour quotes to cheer you up if you do!
Hey, it's OK...
Hey, it's OK...
- if you hug your dog in the morning before hugging your human
- that your first "I love
you" to him was when you accidentally ended a phone call with:
"Love you, bye"
- to start eating your
takeaway the second you walk out the restaurant
- to ask everyone you know for
advice - then ignore them all and go with your gut

same, it's my favourite magazine! I'm glad I could help, thank you for the lovely comment! xo
DeleteI'm so sorry you had such a horrible day, and it is fine to wallow in self-pity sometimes. As long as you snap back to reality and realize that you could be in Mali or Syria or any other horrible hell of a shithole at the moment and how wonderful your life really is quick enough.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if it makes you feel any better, the first time my first boyfriend told me how he really felt about me over the phone (or at least that's what we were talking about and what I assumed he went on to say), I fell asleep on him. He got super-mad. It was awkward.
