How To: Get In A Good Mood #2



Music can have unfathomable effects on your mind and mood. It is our human nature that when we're in a bad mood to listen to bad music. Bad breakup? You'll listen to every sappy breakup song on earth? Friend stabbed you in the back? Every angry song you can think of. It's ONLY natural to do that. But it's also self destructive. With that being said I'll Give you some songs that are my favorites at boosting my mood instantly. Also...cause I really like hyperlinking things. :)

1.5 Years Time- Noah and The Whale
2. Scenic World- Beirut
3. Alphabet Aerobics- Blackalicious
4.The Second That You Say- Chase Coy
5. Lust For Life- Girls
6. I can't possibly link EVERY song by Kimya Dawson, but they're all awesome.
7. On that note, every song by Matt and Kim are awesome. But especially, Lessons Learned.

And SO many more. But those are just a few of my favorites.

How To: Get In A Good Mood #1

Step number one to getting into good moods (from my personal experience) is to make a joke out of whatever is upsetting you.If it's the way you look, put on some ruby red lipstick and some bright blue eyeshadow and prance around like a princess. Photoshop is also a great tool if you wanna dress silly but can't. (See above picture, all rights belong to Ginger) Use your imagination to turn someone into an ant you can smush if they have one more rude comment for you. Have a 5 year old's mind when it comes to playing outside. Don't be afraid to spin in circles until you can no longer stand it; or laugh so hard about something so elementary that you can't breathe. I'll hopefully have MANY more of these tips up soon, because they have saved my life.

Well fifteen minutes after posting my first ever blog I realized I have no earthly idea how to do this whatsoever. And that I need help. Lots and lots o' help. So whether or not you're my friend on facebook, or you may have just stumbled upon my little corner of the internet, I want feedback. What I can do better, blog post ideas, pictures you want me to draw, etc. Also, on another side note I like hyperlinking things A LOT. They make life easier, literally. So if you have some cool sites for me to link Please Please Please Share! I seriously have my work cut out for me.

This Is Scary Stuff



Let's start with my name. It's Storm. Now as for what comes next, who knows? I'm writing this blog to start keeping a score of the things that make me feel bad, ugly, or  just not confident. Then hopefully I can find a way to turn it around and it be useful for someone else. Or maybe one day I'll post a blog with lots of lists. I like making lists. And going on side tangents, so bear with me. This blog is based off of my feeling towards Kimya Dawson's song I Like Giants. It is my entire inspiration for bettering myself. And for loving myself even when I knew other people didn't love me. So this is day one. If nothing else, just give the song a listen and look at the lyrics ladies. What are some of your inspirational songs? Share!
