Guilt

Hello!

I hope you've been faring well. I have been. This post is all about that horrible feeling of guilt. I feel guilty all the time, so much, in fact, that I end up ignoring it because I know that I'm just being silly. There are some things to feel guilty about, and some things that are not to be guilty about.

I feel guilty every time I let someone down or do something wrong for someone or accidentally hurt someone. I just want to please people, and so that is my prime source for guilt. I need to learn that you don't have to do something just because people tell you to do it. You need to listen to what you want and work out what you want to do that way.

What kind of things do you feel guilty about? Are they silly, or reasonable? How are you going to help yourself stop feeling guilty?

The Little Things

Hello!

I think I'm officially back now after that loooooong hiatus. I'm not going to post every day like I've been saying. I'll probably just settle for weekly because otherwise I'll just end up falling out of it again because I'd be really overwhelmed.

As to what's happened to me whilst I was gone, I've started high school. It's fun but so much more challenging than junior school and the days are so much longer. I'm more tired after a day but it's somehow so much more satisfying.

Anyway, this post is all about the little things that make the world go round. A refreshing bike ride. The sunset on the ocean. A homemade birthday cake. The soft breaths of a sleeping loved one.

It's all of these things that make me the happiest. Tiny little things that may not matter to anyone else, but make me feel good about myself and the world. Things that perhaps nobody else notice. Things that make everything that little more beautiful.

I'm writing this post to tell you guys to notice these little things, and to maybe write them down. This exercise helps you be grateful and to just become an all round better person.

Until next time,
