1. Experiment to find what makes you happy – and then spend time doing more of that!

2. Hang out with people who are usually upbeat as we’re influenced by people that we spend time with.

3. When something good happens, then focus on it….

Because it takes a greater effort. 

But trust me it’s worth it!

*INSERT TYPICAL DRAMA ABOUT HOW I USED TO BE DEPRESSED AND SHIT AND THIS AND THAT TEXT HERE*

SO! 

Reading distracted and helped me alot,though I’ll admit most of the texts were self-help books (not necessarily a bad thing).

For in one of my literary adventures I stumbled upon various pieces of information that has helped me into being a more positive and better ME. 

  • First you must understand that complete happiness is not a state in which one can maintain at all times. It comes in small doses in gratifying situations. 

That is why when you see someone who you think has everything (or atleast alot more than you), they are still very unhappy. Because they (like many) think that happiness in the form of ecstatic emotion is something that stays with you once you’ve reached a certain point. 

  • SO you keep on searching for that something/one to get you to that point. 
  • That will never happen.
  • The chemicals of the body weren’t designed in such a way. 

WHAT YOU MUST DO once you’ve understood this: 

  • The thing here is, one must find a POSITIVE state of mind.
  • Where one is comfortable with where you are, where you were and where you’re going. Even though you’re not where you want to be. 
  • Once you feel a negative thought coming through, don’t let it out. Don’t let it flourish. Don’t block it either for running away from things isn’t the answer.
  • You must analyse it. 
  • What is making you feel this way? Why? It will mostly be irrational,mundane,silly, things having to do with low self esteem of the moment.
  • If you’re still not convinced, then keep searching, thinking. Until you’re content with the fact that you’re sadness is irrational.
  • Happiness is a mental exercise. 
  • It’s not easy. 
  • You have to convince yourself that feeling sad is a waste of time. 
  • Think about it, compare all the things you’ve done and what kind of things those are, when you’re in a good mood with all the things you’ve done when you’re in a bad one. 
  • You waist the same amount of energy feeling sorry for yourself than looking for reasons to be in a relaxed mood.
  • Remember all those billion things you love. You should feel good they exist,and you exist to appreciate them!
  • Starting to feel like shit? Breath, close your eyes. And think. Is it worth going there again? Has anything good ever come out of it? 
  • TRUST ME! Don’t let the irrational sadness get the better of you. Little by little you’ll start to notice a difference. It’s helped me!
  • THINK, READ, ANALYSE, TALK!
  • Pretend to be content. Because at the beginning it seems impossible. So you have to pretend at first, in order to find the real deal. 
  • Just by smiling, your brain receives the message that you’re happy (even if you’re not), which helps you relax.
  • Training yourself to be positive can seem exhausting but trust me. Nothing’s more exhausting than feeling sorry for yourself and crying 5 times a day. 

I’m not saying you can’t cry and hate everyone, but once it becomes a part of your everyday life. Then it’s a problem. 

I’m not saying accept everything and everyone and life is great always! No. But everyone’s life is different, I’m sure there are wonderful aspects to yours you haven’t even thought of. 

I know this is all very general, and it isn’t much. I got all of this out of my memory and interpretation. 

All I’m saying is, there is absolutely no point in being sad. All those gay pop songs are true. I mean…how can you be sad when someone like this exists: 

Why I wrote this? I’m seeing alot of posts of people being with situations that are out of their control so…

If any of you ever need anything, I’m here for ya! I’m not the brightest but we’ll find a way through the bad times together. 

Love,

Jacky.

  

I died about 6 times in theater class today.

I have painful bruises. I went through alot of strong emotions. We’re going to be presenting our acts this Wednesday and Thursday at some universities. 

I love science, I love music, I love languages but if it wasn’t for this, if it wasn’t for acting or movies then I wouldn’t know what to do with my life. I’d be so lost.

Im grateful that I have found something I am truley passionate about. 
I remember when I was littler I asked my mum what my talent was, for I have always thought that everyone has a talent. And I’m glad I found mine, it helped me define who I am and what I want.

Happiness is only momentary (Im talking scientifically not drama mambo jambo but I dont want to get into that at the mo.), and if you’ve found that one thing that is YOURS that makes you YOU, that no matter what happens you can always depend on that. Well then my goodness you’ve reached heaven on earth.

I saw on the teli. a couple of lions were starving becuase: one of them hurt its foot and the other one stayed to help it while it was defenseless.

And I thought ”damn us mamels are stupid”. When the hell have you seen a couple of cockroaches or ants do that? 

No wonder we’re not ganna last for ever as a species. (apart from other factors such as: we’re not only attacking ourselves but we’re destroying where we live. )


But then I thought. What if our purpose is to live, love and be happy? Think about all the times where you’ve felt loved/happy, doesnt it make you feel more alive? Isnt it all that matters at the moment? 

Then why does it seem like we’re always trying to do exactly the opposite!? 

Why cant we just have a simple meaningful life full of good moments and happy attitudes towards others?

We’re the only species (that I know of) who  tries to make another person’s or itselfs existence a living hell for no apparent reason. 

Next time you’re feeling sad/angry/jealous/anything negative, just think ”my purpose in life is to be happy”.

Its so simple.

Just give it a try.

AUDITION TODAY! Audition was surprise after surprise today!  Thanks to the traffic we got there fairly early and very very cold. I went a bit too summery. But I feel confident in that outfit so who cares (=  While inline outside, I got lots of agency business cards wohoo! And this guy whom I noticed wasnt giving his card to everyone like the rest,calling himself a ‘new face’ acting agent, came to me and asked for my photo and my number…the weird part was he asked if my dad could go audition for a part!! Imagine how ironic it would be for my dad to get a role and not me!! HO ho ho ho =D go dad!! We got into the building real fast though, changed my shoes and took off my heavy coat before entering. There was this REAAAALLY tall lady, everyone kept taking pics with and saying hi too, so nosey me asked who that was and turned out it was ”miss world”. Uuuh ok.  But apart from her, there was barley any competition really, kinda bumed, all the guys that were there were all very distasteful fags. =/  And like 40% or the ladies where pretty…VERY pretty I might say.  But I didnt feel out of place like the last audition I went too. ;D  Inside the building we were sent to this huge set with movie lights and cameras where set up infront of ALOT OF CHAIRS. I thought YES! We’re ganna audition infront of everyone!  To my surprise, all we did was fill out a survey about where we live and what we do to who our favorite actor and movie are. Strangely my friend coppied EVERYTHING I put :S … I put ‘cabaret’ as my favorite musical…so did she. I put ‘hamlet’ as last play viewd at the theatre…so did she. That really pissed me off. Infront of the huge set, there were about 6 TV actors/producers sitting there looking absolutley annoyed. But I understand, it must be annoying having to mini interview some of these weird cooooks.   This one guy dressed all in pink and bleached his hair, like I said distasteful fucks!  After I filled in my survey I was asigned one of those TV actors people, just to hand in my sheet and two photographs. He had a Jack from TNBC, and I told him I liked it, he snobbishly said ‘I got it at hollywood’. Then he asked what Im doing at the moment and how far I live. I wanted to ask him if he liked Tim Burton…you know, make nice small talk so he can remember who I was later on. But after he asked those things he said ‘ok thanks we’ll call you’ and wrote something down next to my name *gasp*. On the speakers we heard that this was just the first phase, we’ll call you before january if you were picked, please dont call us.  So I felt relieved that the motherfucker didn’t say anything important. It didnt go AWESOME but it didnt go SHITTY.  Let’s help they like my photos and the answers I put. Im still ganna send my info. to all those agencies.  This is only the beginning,  Jaky S.G.

We’re all pretty much the same.

Packed tightly in our skintight skin is a bumpy clump of slippery organs and brittle bones. Yes, you’re a pile of bones, I’m a bucket of blood, you’re a slab of muscle, I’m a chunk of chub. And no matter what we got squeezing through our veins, zooming through our brains, and dripping out our drains, one big thing just always remains.

We’re all pretty much the same.

We’re all pretty much the same.

We’re all pretty much the same.

Baby brains buzz and little eardrums pop, baby lungs breathe deepand little eyelids flop, but as we grow up and grow older maybe we start letting differences be our guide, start choosing our own adventures, start carving paths and curving wide. We settle into ourselves, settle into our skin, settle into our lives, and find the comforts within…

We grow up, we grow older,some grow hotter, some grow colder. We focus on our tastes, on our preferences and our choices, we find our kinds of friends, we read our kinds of voices. We might cut deep paths, we may turn others away, we may deepen our divides, we may have nothing nice to say.

But way down deep in our stomachs, way down deep in our hearts, we can always remember that no matter which way we turn, which lessons we learn, which bridges we burn…

We’re all pretty much the same.

We’re all pretty much the same.

No matter what money we earn, what chances we churn, what choices we spurn…

We’re all pretty much the same.

We’re all pretty much the same.

Because we’ve all got cracks and chips, we’ve all got sores and scratches,we’ve all got doubts and dreams, we’ve all got hearts with patches. We laugh and cry, we soar and sink, we go up and down, we stop and think. Behind your favorite things, behind your bestest friends, behind your fears and doubts… we’re all waiting here again.

We’re all in this big show together.

We’re all singing the same song.

We’re all walking into the future.

As we all keep hanging on.

                                                             What If …  


Did Sienna Miller copy our style? Maybe… or atleast in a alternate reality she did. One where we’re the on the cover of vogue or starring on the next Mcheal Bay film. Ever wounder what itd be like if that were you in that exquisite Dior comercial? Im sure you have.

Though I bet you’ve never asked yourself: if you were on set, then were would they be?

Well it ocurried to me: if ones ocupiying their luxurious penthouse in malibu, then they must be working their ass off in an office for a minimum wage.

You’d eventually have to bump into them of course perhaps the lights of Jude law making tacos in a mexican stand or Jake gyllenhall busting his head off at the cash register in a Sams club.

Even after a long day of shopping or at the beach, a crazy kristen stewart dressed up as your latest charachter comes up to you crying for an autograph (insert evil laugh here).

Is it all as glamurous as they say it is? Of course it is! On a bad day (at the most) a photo of your boobs will get leekd on twitter, but hey thats just more publicity for you and ALL publicity is good.

While Tom and Katie are happily playing at the local park with Suri quietly having an ice-cream cone, you on the otherhand can’t even enjoy your child when the nasty paparazzi are around critizicing your every move and waiting for the worst looking snapshot.

Too young for children? Heck, theres a crazy party going on tonight downtown.Go ahead and dance with pop music’s new sensation below those flashy lights in a D&G, under the effects of whoknows what you sniffed(who cares you wont remember tomorrow anyway).

Meanwhile on the other side of town lindsay lohan’s studying for her finals. Also a Jessica Alba trying to catch a cab becuase she’s late for work again, they might even fire her from the restaurant this time, and you’re just worried they might find those antidepressants in your chanel handbag.

Ok you get my point. Wether you’re rich and famous or humble and hardworking, life’s a bitch. And bitches are easy most of the time right?

Enjoy your life, there shall always be pros and cons, ups and downs. And yes sometime we idealize the rich and famous for what they have and we dont. But do you ever look around and see what we have and they dont?

Don’t ever forget those little things that make you who you are because thats the true definition of happiness. Like going to McDonalds with your family or watching an old movie fridaynight with your best friend. 

It’s always ok to dream, its just plain wrong to envy. Live life to the max. do crazy things, its the only one you get.

p.s. Theres no +1 mushrooms here.
