Type 'quotes' into Pinterest and a whole host of inspirational messages appear. Sometimes a few words can make a huge difference; make us happy, make us sad, inspire us, or encourage us to follow our dreams. I picked out a few which were relevant to me right now, and a few words of wisdom for every day life:
I'm so grateful to my best friends; they listen to me, let me cry (mostly with laughter), know more about me than I do about myself and trust me enough to open up. They will tell me if they're sick of me moaning and tell me to get on with my life, as I will to them. I often tell them exactly what's on my mind and they will do the same, which helps me be a better person.
Creativity is so important, and if you have an idea, put it forward. So many brilliant ideas get brushed under the carpet just because people are too shy to bring it up. Take credit and enjoy compliments. I have a few ideas which I want to bring up with my school, but I keep putting them off because I'm scared of rejection. Don't be! If it's a rubbish idea, laugh it off and start again. But if you really believe in something, go for it.
Just be amazing every day.
I'm pretty sure that this is one of the most important things. If someone is making you sad, tell them, or go do something away from them. If there's a hobby you love, do it! If you feel pressured into doing something you don't want to do, say no, and do what you want. Even if you are doing something 'uncool' or 'geeky' don't worry about it. I promise you, it's not and there are hundreds of people doing the same thing as you.
Sometimes life can seem unfair, because the best ideas are pushed aside because they aren't popular. Often nowadays, its not what you can do, but who you know. This is so sad, but just because something's popular, doesn't mean you have to like it or do it, especially if you think it's wrong. Don't tell people you like something just to be popular.
Procrastinating is a major hobby of all teenage students. Stop putting work and other things off, and get on with it. You'll be amazed at how much less stressed you feel and how much time you get for yourself now that everything's done.
Whilst I love makeup, your personality s much more important than your looks. Be a nice person and don't give false impression to be popular. Just being yourself you will attract people similar to yourself, who make you feel happy and comfortable in your own skin.
I hope you liked this little round up of inspirational quotes. Let me know your favourite or any thoughts in the comments. I would also be really grateful for post/makeup recommendations. All of these quotes can be found on my 'Quotes' board on Pinterest . Thank you for reading and I will write again very soon!
