Let's talk

Hello readers new and old,

Today Bell canada has a special promotion going. When you text anyone with a Bell phone they will donate 5 cents to help raise awareness and to eliminate the stigma of mental health. Also use the hashtags #Bellletstalk on twitter.

This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart because I, like 20% of people, suffer from a mental illness. I'd like to be able to talk more openly about it without people thinking I'm "crazy" or "just having a rough day" or "just need a little more fiber in your diet"(those people especially can suck it).

I'm glad I can count on the people who do support me, but sometimes it's just not enough. Some days life is too hard. It's hard to get up and get things done. It's hard to look someone in the eye and tell them you're okay without bursting into tears. It gets harder and harder to lie to them and say over and over again "I'm just really tired, that's all". 

The truth is, it's hard to admit sometimes. So I want everyone who reads this to not only support raise  awareness and eliminate the stigma of mental illness all over the world, but I also want them to lend an ear. Not just today, but everyday. Anytime your friend needs to talk. Anytime your co-worker looks tired.  Lend your ears and try to understand. You may not know exactly what there going thru, but try to understand that it's not just a phase, they're not crazy or sick.

Don't be the one to suffer in silence. Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. It's something I deal with on a day to day bases. It'll be a lifetime battle most likely, but on the days that I don't want to get up in the morning or I can't stand to talk to people or leave the house, I'm just glad I have a small amount of support to just give me a hug. People to sit next to me, and even without me saying a word they just tell me it's going to be okay. That day never seems to come, but one day it will. One day it will be okay that I feel the way I do. I'll be able to tell everyone how I'm really feeling instead of always saying "I'm fine!" I'll finally be able to say "I feel like I'm dead inside, I feel like everything in my life is just a phigmentation of my imagination, and I'm all alone in the universe." And they'll be able to look me in the eye and truthfully tell me "me too."

I'm a nameless hipster and I don't need your approval, but I will take your acceptance. 

I went on a $100 shopping spree, and all I got was this some groceries

I went to the store specifically to buy gluten free stuff and whatever else I usually get, so that I could get the store points. They came up with this points card that you earn points when you spend money and it alerts you went things you buy frequently are on sale. But when I was checking out I completely forgot about my card and spent a $108 with no rewards. I could have earned 1,800 points.

Oh well, Atleast I have things I can eat in my house now. I bought a bunch of socks from the dollars store too. (Those who follow me on Instagram know I love to shop at dollarama) so what has everyone been up to? Have you kept your New Years resolutions? Did you make one?

I'm following my "one year to a better you" plan I posted on Pinterest a while back January is more yoga, no alcohol. Easy enough, I haven't had a drink in a few months now. My fibromyalgia flares up way worse when I drink. So I avoid it. The only time I can see myself breaking that rule is when I go to Vegas for my birthday. 22! Woow! That's not for a few months though.

Anyway, I've been searching my room most of the day for an old script I wrote. I want to make it into a podcast to showcase my voice talent. One day I might achieve my goal of being a voice actor. You never know, if H. Jon Benjamin can do it, so can I. But first I guess I'll need a van...

Anybody get the refurance? Anyone? Anyone? No... Moving on.

It's a morning show called "table conversation" but it's a comedy, I'm going to have to change a bite of it, maybe expand on certain things. I did originally write it in grade 5... So... Years ago. It's probably still saved on a floppy disk somewhere in the basement. I guess I'll just have to keep looking. Until next time, I'm a hipster, writing in a cafe

What's up!

Hello blog readers!
So what's new with you guys? Nothing new with me really.
I went dancing at a gay bar with my sister and her friends. They say you can tell how good someone is in bed by the way they dance. That explains why some men are gay. If there really good at dancing, there gay. All the good guys are on the other team. I wish I knew more about sports so I could make a funny related anecdote.
I hope your holidays are going well. I'm getting more and more followers on instagram and Pinterest, which is nice. Makes me feel like a big girl.
I bought all my Christmas presents and I'm totally ready for the new year. I'm so excited for January 2nd. 3 important things are happening the day after the new year begins!
1. My library books are due back
2. My tattoo is getting the next stage of it done
3. Community it's coming back!
Ahhhhhhh! I'm so excited
I know when you have really high expectations about something it usually doesn't turn out, so I'm trying not to be too too excited about it, but I'm pretty Damn excited. The new years going to start out right! Eeeee
Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks to everyone who complemented me on my last post, the one about my cat. I might do more stuff like that. But who has the time, right?

God, I don't want to have to go back to Facebook

Going back to Facebook would be like going back to an ex who constantly ignored you and that you hate. There is no good reason to go back.
However, everyone I know has Facebook and I need to get back in touch with some of those people and have no other way of talking to them.

So on that note, here are some things I have learned over my many years of life...

Lesson 1: Just because someone didn't graduate, doesn't mean there not smart.
I've known plenty of people who either didn't graduate on time, at all, or got a GED later in life, and they're living very productive lives. Some of them are more put together than me (mind you that's not saying much but still).

Lesson 2: if your nice, even when you're in a crappy mood, things go better for you
Remember to judge people, not on how they treat you, but how they treat others. I work in the service industry, and if people are mean to me, I assume they have a mental problem that makes them an asshole to everyone. In other words I let it go.

Lesson 3: People are stupid, EVERYBODY
This is the most important lesson of them all. Because people don't know they're stupid, even smart people are stupid. Remember, if you think your smart, see lesson #3.

Lesson 4: Animals are smarter, and more important than you think.
People don't give animals enough respect. I'm not speaking as a member of PETA or a tree hugger or anything (mostly because I can't be a true vegan, because I can't eat soy, and there substrate for meat is always soy soy soy. It's crazy) but animals have been around longer than you. Respect your elders!

So there are a few lessons in the lessons. All together those are pretty important lessons in life. And I will let you all know if I go back to Facebook. Your all my friends, so I'll add you.

That's all for now,
Nameless hipster OUT!
