Roads are all icy so you can't drive too far, it snows every few days so everything is either covered with three feet of it, or dead(people not included).
There are perks of it, sure. I mean, at least we have snow. I can't imagine living in somewhere like Arizona, partially because of the laws, partially because of the weather. Even now, when we're in the mid-thirties, highest(Fahrenheit, obviously.), and in Arizona it's 70s-90s around this time (going by my friend Kenna, who I'm going to stay with in like, 5 days, and also by weather websites). So, there's that.
The point is, you get cooped up after a while. No matter how cool the people are that you're stuck with, it's still mad-making after about four months of cold. It's also very stressful.
So this is my post about that very thing- stress. Whether it's my reasoning- being trapped with six other people from December to late March, even though they're cool people,- or it's you're school or something, or you're kids, whatever.
So, here they are!!!!
- MUSIC.
Not all music. Definitely not. No, you need to create a playlist of songs that make you feel just... better. Maybe it’s punk music that makes you feel really cool and tough, or maybe it’s something just really catchy (boybands, Ke$ha, etc.), or even the soundrack of a musical! My personal mix consists of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode Once More With Feeling( IT’S A MUSICAL BUFFY EPISODE! :D), punk music, and a LOT of moody music and alternative rock. it’s really random, yes, but it makes me feel happy.
- walking/running/biking
This is, admittedly, harder with all the snow and ice around here, but it still makes me feel a lot better. Maybe get your playlist on an MP3 player and drag it along, or just enjoy the sounds of nature, traffic, and your feet hitting the ground. Whatever the soundtrack of your walk or run is. Music isn’t advised (or safe) with bike riding, so I like to just go somewhere without people. 20-30 or so minutes is normally long enough for me to calm down.
- makeup/accessories/clothes
So if any guys read my blog, they probably won’t relate. Or maybe they will, who am I to judge them? (I’m not. If ya wanna have feel good makeup, go crazy! :D) I’m adding this because it’s a very fun thing to do.
Personally I like really dramatic makeup, like in my selfie that I blogged. winged eyeliner, red lipstick, all of it. (I’m wearing it now, actually.)
- poetry
So, I’m pretty sure by now you guys know I write poetry. Sometimes cheerful, sometimes (actually, it’s mostly) moody. I’m adding one of my poems now, so you can see what kind of writing I do.
Every Detail by Rhiannon Bayer
You are a flame.
You burn so brightly in my eyes,
I feel as if I’m staring into the sun
every time I’m graced
with your ever-welcome presence.
Every detail of you
is etched in the stars,
as you, a constellation
and I, a mere stargazer.
You fascinate me,
your ever-present hunger for knowledge,
and your constant need to speak your mind.
Every detail of you
is poured into the sea
as if you are a whirlpool,
and I a small ship,
caught in your cyclone.
You are what I cannot believe,
someone so brave,
so passionate,
so wonderfully oblivious to the world’s darkest shades.
Every detail of you,
written across my heart
like you are ink,
deep as coal, precious as gold,
and I am just another girl,
admiring the words of the world,
because you deserve them all.
It's not on the list, but I also find writing really angry stories/letters/songs/whatevers helps. I'm on page 41 of my homicidal book which has no names- any ideas? Comment 'em maybe! (please do! That'd be really nice of you!)
Also, if you have any other ideas for stressful stuff, comment those!
