Feeling Small in a Big World - Uncovered

Hey all,

It has been awhile hasn't it? You would not believe how much I have missed writing. Not only does it keep me calm but it gives me something to look forward to. Things that have happened: Just graduated, getting on the job hunt, working two jobs...oh I am also joining a book club too. Many things yes and getting back into writing this time. (I promise)

So looking through my old stash I found this old little number and after re-reading it, it gave me some insight as well. Which is interesting considering I wrote this many years ago. It is interesting how something you write many years ago, gives you some insight. Okay without further ado, here is my post on feeling small in a big world.

Hope it gives you some insight.

Feeling Small in a Big World

Do you get everything you want but not exactly what you need? Have you ever stepped into someone else's shoes and learned something that you never thought you would understand?

There will always be things that I will never understand in this world. What is it about this world where people believe that money is the first priority? People need money to survive...sad but true!

Another thing that I have never understood is why is it that people are always looking for that one perfect thing? You know exactly what I am talking about. Some examples are: the perfect body, the perfect girlfriend/boyfriend, the perfect job....the list goes on!

Let me tell you a few things about all of this. The fact that people want the one perfect body is why a lot of people are feeling down on themselves is because, face it, people want to appear perfect when what they don't realize is that nobody is perfect. You can try anything you want to appear perfect but you will just feel more down because no one is practically perfect in every way....and you know what, why would you even want to be?

What is normal? I don't get it! How is a normal girl supposed to act? Am I supposed to act like a girly-girl who flinches when she sees a broken nail, orders salads at restaurants, wear clothes from American Eagle, wear makeup, go to the spa and gym on a daily basis, and just go along with what someone says about another person when I know it is not right?

I have always been judged and people think that they know me but they don't. I have never had a real friend or been invited to many things. When I am invited to places by other people...I freeze because I do not know what to do. I have let people take advantage of me just so they can be happy. I have let people walk all over me and let them try to embarrass me...sometimes it worked and sometimes it does not matter to me. What goes in my head when someone even tries to judge me, I don't hate that person (I don't hate anyone) I just take one glance at them and I wonder...how is it so easy to judge someone?

I have never understood this world. Is it better to be alone or is it better to keep trying to be happy?

Let me tell you something...this world is not a nice place! If you had a great life where you are seeing through rose-coloured glasses, then you would not believe a word I am saying. But if you had a bad experience with life then you would know what i am talking about.

So let me say this to all of you.....no matter where you go in life, you will always find a bump in the road, but don't bail out so fast. Sometimes you get what you want and sometimes you don't...but you don't always get what you want, instead you may get something better.

I have always put others before myself and not expecting much back. What I wish for all of my lovely friends on facebook, those that don't want to speak to me, and just everyone in general....I wish everyone all of the happiness in the world!

Remember to take care of you!

I cannot begin to tell you how much it hurts to be with someone that makes you unhappy.

All that I can stress is to be you and be with someone that appreciates you for you.

Don't be someone that allows yourself to be taken advantage of. Surround yourself with people that truly care for you.

I can be a little retro at times and listen to old songs. One song that I have been listening to most of the night is "Fly" by Hilary Duff. 

This song is very inspirational and the lyrics talk about letting go of your hidden feelings and to be open to those around you.

"It definitely is your time to fly." Forget about the reasons why you can't and focus on now. 

Take care!

When I take a break from whatever it is that I am doing, I love watching comedies because let's face it, reality can be a tad bit depressing. That is probably why I do not watch reality TV shows. 

I honestly believe that when you are having a down day, that watching TV, something funny on YouTube, or even having a laugh with your friends is a good way to be lifted.

Lately, I have been watching an episode or three of "New Girl" and I love it. Included are a few funny scenes from "New Girl" that I think will keep you laughing.

Laughter is the best medicine for a long, stressful day and I think that a smile goes a long way. 

Keep smiling even when you don't feel like it! :)

Another tip of the day to let your "beautiful insights" shine is to embrace your inner child. Today I painted easter eggs with my sister. I have not done this for awhile and I am so glad I did. When you embrace your inner child you will feel more positive. All this hype of being mature all the time is just too stressful. Sometimes you have to let loose once in awhile. Which is what I encourage you all to do. Why not embrace your inner child and do some crafts? You may have a little fun with this.

Taking it a step at a time! Task 1 - Keep busy!

Lately, I have been preoccupied but that is to be expected since balancing work and school for any Post-Secondary student is one way to keep busy. However, it has been keeping me away from Tumblr. I find that whenever you are stressed out you should write. As such, I am getting back to it since I finally have some time. It is very calming; I suggest you all try it sometime.

Now I have decided to kick my blog up a notch. I am going to post up more photos and more tips on how to let your "beautiful insights" shine. By tips I mean certain hobbies that I am willing to try and what i think will keep you  inspired (stay tuned on that) and the photos are mainly for keeping it interesting. Let's face it, I write a little too much, but I try to keep it interesting.

This time I am going to maintain it because I just want to keep busy. If there is one thing I learned, it is that the best thing to keep your mind off something is to keep yourself busy. Exactly what i am doing right now.

Now on to my tip of the day:

My Tip of the Day:

If you are feeling upset over a conflict, write it out.

You don't necessarily have to write the whole detail in a blog but on a simple piece of paper. But seriously do not give the written portion to anyone; especially the person that you have had a conflict with. If the person you have had a conflict with wants to talk with you, then they would approach you. It is best to keep your distance from that person, no matter how much it hurts.

This whole concept of writing it out will give you some piece in your mind about your situation and you will feel more at ease since you have let your feelings out. This concept of writing is like a healing process and like most people, the best way to get their feelings out is in written form. Again, I suggest you try this little number and I am sure you will be surprised about it.

Expect more tips about anything soon. I can make it interesting.

I hope you all take care.

Far North cuisine is hearty, delicious and packed with body-fueling ingredients! We recommend smoked-trout chowder, cheesy bannock bread and bush-berry pudding cake.

not bad to try!

Klout and it's true nature

For all of my social media gurus, you may know about this type of social media website already but for those that do not, you are probably wondering what the dealio is about Klout.

Klout is a basic analytic tool that measures how much you influence other people on your social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. This tool also analyzes the types of activities that you have been doing for the past 90 days; such as tweeting and sharing information on the various social media websites that you have linked towards your Klout page. There is this thing called a "Klout Score" which is basically how much you have influenced people on your social media websites and it is scored between 0 to 100.

I am sure you are wondering what my "Klout Score" is after all my interesting little things that I blog and tweet about. I was kind of amazed to find that my "Klout Score" grew from a 43 to a 47 the last time I have been on Klout - which was about 3 weeks ago. In my opinion that is really not bad - but it can be better.

The best way to keep your "Klout Score" up and running is to keep getting engaged with your friends and followers. This includes tagging on facebook, tweeting and in my case, putting up interesting quotes on facebook that others seem to enjoy a.k.a likes. Having the people engage with you shows that people are interested in what you are saying and also they feel that your opinion is important to them. 

In my opinion, Klout is a very legitimate tool for assessing social influence. The reason for this is because Klout shows on the many graphs and charts exactly how engaging you have been with your followers and friends on the various social media websites that are linked on your account. It is also very legitimate because it takes into account how meaningful the content that you have posted is to your followers - this includes all of the likes, shares, comments, etc. that you have on these social media websites. 

So if you wish to be popular in some way, then having a high Klout score is a way to have some online popularity. 

Be sure it is meaningful - just saying!

Take care!

Social and SEO join forces to fit in with Marketing

I constantly wonder how much this world has changed over the last few years. For example, before the computer came to be, I used to research for whatever information I required using library books. Now swing into the present and we have websites such as Google and Bing to help us find information for us in just one simple click. All you do is type in whatever you want in the search bar eg. "Pizza" and then you are given a long list of different websites with lots of content and links; sometimes even pictures and videos.

Since a search engine has been a primary source to finding information, it is important as a company to realize that what is included in your company website and Social Media websites such as Facebook and Twitter will greatly impact the search rankings on Google, Bing, etc.

In order to make your company website stronger, content such as links must be included in whatever post you wish to have. But the content alone is not enough to generate buzz for your consumers. What must be included is the use of Social Media websites such as Facebook. Social Media sites is a form of Inbound Marketing which are "free" traffic sources used primarily to connect people to your company. 

Whenever a company posts something, it is important to use keywords that will enable your company's marketing efforts. For example, a hashtag on Twitter. In order to create buzz about your company, it is important to use your Social Media sites regularly so that consumers can gain more insight as to what your company does which will then transpire onto Search Engines if done effectively. 

This brings us into the topic of Search Engine Optimization (SEO); which is basically used to increase visitors heading to your website using search engines such as Google. There are many ways for a business to gain more attention on a Search engine and that is through the use of consumer reviews and/or comments about your company's products and services. As a company, you want to be at the top of a search page and this can only be possible if you find ways to get your consumers connected to your products and services. That way your company's social media presence will be at the top of the search engine page.

User generated content and reviews are also important in regards to gaining more consumers to your webpage. This is through the use of social sharing buttons on the content. The more a consumer visits your website the more likely that your company will gain recognition. 

The main point behind this is for your company to have more of a presence in a search engine and to aim to be at the top of search results. Once you get there, the more popular your company will be.

Social and SEO work together to fit in with Marketing so it is best to get connected with this so that you can get connected with your consumers.

Until then,

Take Care!
