Everyone Feels Crazy Sometimes

I am going to keep this post short and sweet because that is how life is. Hi my name is Lola and no its not some strippers name, but instead my alias. It doesn’t matter whether I am a boy or girl; I am just a teenager with a point of view to share so hear me out for a moment please.

Everyone feels a little crazy sometimes. Everyone can feel alone and tragically think they are the only ones facing a predicament. That’s called being young. Adversity and emotions can be a lot to handle and sometimes you may feel like you have to hide your depression, feelings or anxiety in order to make other people happy. This is not true. No one is perfect and I know that keeping all that built up angst inside is not the answer.

Needless to say it is also not an excuse to go around and explode because that is not healthy or effective for you or the people in your life. The solution may not always seem clear but remember that you are a light in a dark time. There are like-minded people out there and you need to find them in order to support each other. You need to find one thing a day that you like about the world around you (e.g. your neighbour’s blossom tree or the way a bakery smells when you walk by).


Most importantly you need to appreciate those things about you that define your values and personality. At least once a day say something kind about yourself because if you do not appreciate yourself why should other people? You are never alone and know that controlling and dealing with emotions is a constant part of life. One deep breath can change everything. Your time is just beginning and everything about life is beyond worth it because- difficult or simple- life is exhilarating. You deserve to shine so everyday take one step out of the darkness because you are the only who can do it.

I, personally, believe in you and cannot wait to see what you do.

Kisses, Lola
