[one masterpost a week (1/?)] requested by: @aloofbooks 01. things you need to hear right now: your own goals and aspirations should be your main focus and what other people do shouldn’t matter to you. you will get to where you want to be if you work for it. have fun, enjoy your life and be a good person. no one has a perfect life; keep that in mind the next time you compare yourself to someone. it’s okay to look up to someone but don’t put yourself down. find what it is about that person that makes them appealing and use it to make yourself a better person. that being said, don’t become someone you’re not. essentially, what i’m trying to say is to use the negative and turn it into a positive thing that you can use. 02. on social media when you’re on social media remember that what you see is what people choose to show to the public. it may seem as if they have the perfect life but you really don’t know what happens behind that screen. watch essena o’neil’s video if you don’t believe me. it’s literally impossible to document one’s whole life on social media and what you see in a photo is literally a millisecond of someones day. 03. be your own best friend spend time alone clean your room do some studying go outside read a book drink some water exercise get a plant and take care of it listen to music spend time with friends + the possibilities are endless 04. motivate yourself if you’re craving something that someone else has, whose to say that you can’t have it too? you want that A+ in maths? go get it. get off tumblr right now and go study. surround yourself with positivity and things that motivate you. cut unhelpful people out of your life and be friends with people who make you want to be a better person. you choose your own happiness. i know that was a bit brief but I think I covered all the important things. comparing myself with other people was something that I used to struggle with a lot until i realised that it’s not something that’s going to help me in life. it’s poisonous and it makes you sad. the best solution is to just not do it. i really hoped that helped and if you have any requests or suggestions for next time, please don’t hesitate to drop an ask or a message Ru xx (link to my other masterposts)

I know it’s premature to give up and so I’m not giving up. Not this soon. 2016 just rolled in and I always have conditioned my brain that January is the best time to start fresh. I can’t wait to see what this year has for me. I’m hoping this will be my year. I hope it’s going to be yours too. Happy new year, guys!
