Going Through Struggles | Quotes Posts !

Sometimes we go through through times that we desperately want to get out of but it feels impossible and you end up feeling trapped and hopeless. Those times are awful and I'm sorry if you're going through times like that ( I also send really big hugs ) because I know that to feel that helpless is scary. But I promise you're going to be alright soon. Regardless of the situation or the pain, no hope is ever futile. Today I wanted to share a few quotes I've collected over the years to help you through hard times.

This quote is one of my favourites, it's from an All Time Low song called " Missing You " and it always gives me a motivation boost that it's all very well say you're doing something and that you're going to try but just sitting there feeling sorry for yourself. You have to do something to make things happen because you do have the power to change things if you give it everything you've got ! The Picture is made by my lovely best friend, she drew it for me a few days a go when I needed a little help getting out of a slump :)

"Be easy.Take your time.You are coming home. To yourself"
- The Becoming | Wing 

"We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen."
-D.H.Lawrence 

"You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering"
-Ernest Hemingway

"If you can't fly then run. If you can't run then walk.If you can't walk then craw. Whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." 
-Martin Luther King 

"You'll need coffee shops and sunsets and roadtrips, airplanes and pass ports and new songs and old songs. But people more than anything else. YOU WILL NEED OTHER PEOPLE. And you willneed to be that other person to someone else. A living, breathing, screaming invitation to believe in better things." 
- To Write Love On Her Arms ( Just a quick sidenote; TWOLHA is an amazing organisation for mental health and you should definitely have a look at their website that I'll leave a link to here ) 

" When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this; you haven't "
- Thomas Edison 

"The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy "
-Hank Green 

"Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life" 
- J.K.Rowling 

"When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on"
-Thomas Jefferson ( This one is my favourite out of these quotes ) 

"We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope" 
-Martin Luther King 

I really hope some of these help you.

A Metaphorical Kick up the Butt !

Helloo

I haven't really sat down and just had a chat since I moved from my previous blog to this blog, because if I'm completely honest with you, I'm not sure how I want to present myself on this blog yet. But today I realised that that doesn't matter as much as just sitting down, writing and hopefully helping someone. DontBurstMyBubbleXx has always been about spreading positivity to try and add a little extra sunshine into the world . I tried to keep this new blog nice and ordered with plenty of structure because that's how I've been trying to arrange my life at the minute. But that's just not how my mind is, and that's not how my writing is. And because of trying to make my world fit into a nice little labelled box with a nice bow on it that screams perfect .. I've lost all of my silver linings and that , that is something I'm not okay with.

 When I started writing originally, I just wanted to share my silver linings with other people in an attempt to help them. Now I need to find them again . With the stress of exams, friends, not friends, life and everything in-between I didn't even notice the positivity in my life slipping away ! When I realised the other week that I was unhappy and that this was a massive contributor. I found that finding the good things in the bad was a lot harder when you're out of practise !

So I started a little notebook where I'm writing in one good thing that happens every single day . No matter how crappy it is there's always something. I'd forgotten that . But now, I'm determined to get back to reminding myself and everyone else that yes it might be really, really REALLY crap and I'm sorry about that, honestly I am and I hope it gets better soon but I guarantee no matter what happened today, something good also happened today ! If you start a notebook like mine and write in one thing each day. Yes, It will be difficult at first. But within literally like three days, that's it ! It begins to get way easier than you think and then you can start applying the ability to look for the good in all situations to more and more aspects of your life.

I'm sorry If this has been a little ( a lot ) of me just rambling on today but I really wanted to just get this out there because I've had a bit of a metaphorical kick up the butt . I didn't know how much I needed it because I completely forgot how nice it was to see good everywhere, but I needed it and I hope it helps you out too :)

Share one good thing about today in the comments. Even if it's been a really bad day . Actually especially if it's been a really bad day... then you need it most !

I hope you're a having a lovely day wherever you're finding that loveliness  ,

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

Lots of Love,
Marianne xxx
