Hi lovebugs. Brielle here. Upon having my little self-esteem incident today, I came across an old little thing I wrote a few years back. I decided to share it with you all, to make you feel a little better about your beautiful selves. Keep in mind that this was a product of little tiny Brielle's mind and thoughts, so it's a bit childish, however I think it conveys a good message. Lots of love, b.v.b. xx
"alright so I'm aware that this is super super cheesy but today I realized how sad the world is. Now I know life is hard and what not, (believe me, my past is nothing but shit, and I've been depressed for as long as I can remember) but this is it. This is the only life you have. And after sitting down for a while today, I decided to evaluate some good things in my life. Turns out, there's actually quite a bit of positive. Granted, there is a lot of negative, however, if we only always look at the bad, how in the hell can we appreciate the good? So, what I want everyone to do (yes I mean everyone), is to take 5 minutes, that's it, and make a list of allll the things that make you happy. Once that's done, I want you to take that list, and stick it right on your wall for you to see. Now, every time you have a bad day, I want you to read that list over and over to yourself to remind you of all the positive. And maybe even, if you're feeling up to it, add some more things to that list. Write things every day if you can! The list can include anything and everything; musicians, songs, TV shows, animals, books, honestly anything. The point is to remind you that there are so many good things to live for. So, back to my corny post. I made this because I've realised how much music has helped me through the darkest parts in my life, and even more so, the artist themselves. I wanted to share this to show some (and actually only a tiny fraction) of the people that have inspired me to be strong, and individual, and most importantly, happy. These (again, along with many others) individuals are very special to me, in the fact that they have shown me that I'm not alone in my struggles with life, and that being different, and being myself, is so very very important. Whether it be with their lyrics, or their personalities, or even their own obstacles, they have shown me (and many others) that life actually (believe it or not) gets better. I suppose this is sort of like a thank you, so, thank you. I wanted it to be something that reflects me as a person, and I believe that I am a warrior (AN: talking about my old tumblr username). I've fought through so much, and made it so far, and I don't plan on giving up anytime soon. I hope that this little speech has gotten my message across to you guys, and maybe even possibly inspired you. There is going to be so many opportunities in life, but there is always going to be a bridge to cross. The road gets tough, and you have to roll with the punches. But, never, ever, EVER, give up. You may seem like you want to, and you may feel battered and worthless, but ending it all would NOT be worth it. In any way. There's good and bad, and I always hope you see the good, more so than the bad. I love you all so so much, and will forever be here to support you and spread positivity. 💕xo.bri💕
p.s. in case you were wondering about the "people who have inspired me" it was actually originally a post made about some important people to me, such as Kurt Cobain and others.
