In the cocoon

Dear Emo girl whose blog I follow,

I only put up with your depressive shit because you frequently post pictures of cupcakes.

I think I found the secret to happiness

I have 3 pages left of my current journal… I’ve never finished a journal so this is pretty huge.

I thought I might be fun to read past entries and I found this gem from 9/14/11

“I think I found the secret to happiness.

1. Faith: Believe, believe, believe
2. Everyone is just as afraid as you are. So stop being afraid
3. Ask for what you want. People hate saying no and when they do they usually offer a pretty good consolation prize.
4. When people take a chance on you, give them 110% because you’re going to need them to bet on you again.
5. Walk around like you know shit.
6. Go out and learn shit. Little by little.
7. Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know— It’s like God. I don’t know everything there is to know about God. That doesn’t mean I don’t know Him, it just means I’m not done.
8. You’re never done. That’s ok.
9. Give life meaning and purpose. The trick isn’t to find it, but to create it. God didn’t make you passive, He whispers dreams and desires into your heart.
10. Know these two things for sure: You are loved and God made you a fighter. So fight.”
