In South Korea, people are recording themselves while having dinner. And people are paying to watch these videos! Is this another sign of loneliness affecting

We all get lonely sometimes and that is okay. That doesn't mean you don't have any friends or that no one likes you.

We're all growing up, moving on with our lives, and trying to make something of ourselves and our future. And while being so busy we realize who is there for you and who isn't. Sometimes it might feel like you're all by yourself, like no one understands or cares about you the way you feel like you should be cared about. But you have to remember, everyone shows their emotions differently.

Now there will be a time when you finally realize that you aren't really all that lonely, you have people that love and support you, and no one is out to get you. Your loneliness will not be bad anymore, you will take this time by yourself to discover new and exciting things about the world and yourself.

But for those who struggle with loneliness, just know, you're not alone. I found some helpful tips on ways that'll help you stop feeling lonely (even if it is only for a couple of minutes). 

Doesn't hurt to try right? Stay lovely!

Angry Much?

Anger is by far one of the ugliest emotions humans project.

Not only does it not at all help your situation but it also makes the other people around you very uncomfortable, even annoyed. So now only is one person bothered, there's a whole room of people bothered.

Although there are times when it is hard to control this emotion, it does not mean that you should ever stop trying. Just like everything else in life, self-control (especially when it comes to emotions) takes time, and don't try to rush it either.

There are ways to control your anger and here are my 3 best & personal tips on how to do that:

DO NOT under ANY circumstances take your anger out on ANYONE, especially strangers. Not only is that selfish but it's not nice, you never know what anyone is going through so always be aware of yourself.

Try to breathe. 10 long inhales and exhales can really go a long way (seriously though).

And last but surely not least, SCREAM. Yes, you read right. Scream your head off, but I 100% recommend to do that right in your pillow and not at anyone else please!

So maybe next time you're angry you keep these 3 very easy tips in the back of your mind and hopefully it helps!!!

If you have any other ways to relieve some anger please let me know!

Stay happy and stay lovely :)

To anyone that is suffering any type of depression, anxiety, or stress puppies (or any animal really) can help you cope with it. Puppies are so pure and what you to feel nothing but internal and external happiness.

If you have a pet and are having a bad day, I guarantee that after seeing them, talking to them, and cuddling with them you will feel so much better. If you don't own a pet you can Google and look at some cute pictures or use YouTube to watch some videos and soak up their cuteness.

Not sure about anyone else but coming back to school after having a full week off for spring break really took a toll on me.

Naturally I was relaxing extra hard and avoiding as much school work possible, but when I came back to school I realized how much it hurt my motivation to study or do basically do anything school related (literally took me 2 days to finally get into the gear of things).

So if you're anything like me, sometimes you need a little push to help you get through, and I hope this article does just that for you.

Remember play hard and work harder, the more work you put into now the less you'll have to worry in the future. Hope you enjoy and stay lovely!

Ted Talk: How to stop screwing yourself over by Mel Robbins

Sometimes its really hard to begin something new, or even start doing the things that we are supposed to do. Why is that? Most of the time we just don't feel like it because there are other more fun things to do, like browsing through social media for two hours. But admit it, once we actually gain the motivation we tend to get stuff done. If you're in need of  some motivation this week I highly encourage to watch this amazing and very well put Ted Talk by Mel Robbins. Personally this is one of my favorite Ted Talks and as soon as you watch it I believe it will be one of yours as well. It's really time to stop screwing yourself over.
