My secret nightmares...

      Hello “gossipers”!! I'm here to do my last post until my graduation. Have u already missed me? And u, dear teacher? Well...I don't know what I'm talking about anymore, but..in the middle of such rambling, I will certainly say something useful...let's begin with a type of subject that I've been thinking for a while...

      I always thought my childhood would never end..but the truth is that I'm here, in the 12th grade, and I'm about to go to the university and get a job! Seriously?! All my life my parents tried to give me a proper childwood, tried to give me what I wanted, specially my mom, who lets me do WHATEVER I ask her to do and supports me in all the things (even if the smallest ones) that I need...she has supported all my “whims” and in the end, I can admit that I'm really dependent of my momy cookings and support.

     

 Now, I'm about to become alone, physically and pshicologically alone, because it's almost certain that I'm going to another city, to a residential, leaving my mother's lap, leaving my friends, leaving my room, my private space, some of my material goods....I'm going to the unfamiliar, to the unknown.

       Despite the fact that I want to ignore that I'm about to lose some of the people I consider my friends, that is the harsh truth... and it's now time for me to recognise this nightmare and believe that almost all the things in life are finite, and now I have to porsuit what I think that is my future and believe that I will find new friends, some even better, and that I will find the hapiness that I want for the rest of my life. But, although I'm only 17, I can say that there's no time like our childwood, when u don't have any problems, when u are spontaneous and don't give a sh*t for what people think about u.

       So, and to finish in a good way, I have to say that the ones who are feeling like me should express their feelings, not just by leaving a comment on this post, but also by talking about this kind of stuff, about your feelings, openly. I will certainly adjust to that kind of “uncertain future” and one day u will ear about me, hopefully on your television...when I conquer my goals!

       Thank you for reading this and I hope that u all achieve happiness, doing what u REALLY want do do. Good holidays, and I hope u miss me (u too, dear teacher) .

XOXO, Oh My Gossip,

Here´s to the girls!

       Hey hey! I'm sorry if you're a boy, but this text (I guess my last one, btw...), is dedicated to all the girls in the world who have a low self esteem, or maybe are just feeling depressed 'cause of some dumbass who made her feel alone and unwanted.
       I'm here to give you, beautiful girls, some tips that will boost your confidence! Ready?

       1 - WALK FASTER

Did you know that the way you walk tells much about the way you feel about yourself? People who walk quickly are said to be more confident! Just add a little bit more speed to your walk and you'll look more important but...most of all, YOU'll feel more important, prettier and able to interact easily with others.

       2 - MIX AROUND POSITIVE PEOPLE

I can tell you from personal experience, that the trick is to never be alone. You can be your worst enemy, 'cause you know all your flaws and most of the time focus on them, instead of seeing what's good about you. So, even if the last thing you want is to go out and be surrounded by people, you should force yourself to do it - you will probably ear things that they appreciate in you that you don't even notice...and btw, it has been proven that if you isolate yourself, your brain changes and it gets more difficult to socialize again!

       3 - MAKE FUN OF  YOURSELF

Being able to laugh at your own disgrace is one of the best indicators of self confidence...if you don't seem afraid of making mistakes, people will see you as a positive, confident person, and will want to be around you, 'cause they won't be afraid of you judging them...after all, nobody's perfect!

       And here's my upshot: p
ay attention to every line I've written , 'cause it all comes to this - you gotta love yourself to be able to love others and no one's also going to love you if you don't love yourself! So...here's to the girls (with a big big smile on their faces and a big big smiling spirit)!

XOXO, Oh My Gossip
