Wee bit down in the dumps?

Peaches Geldof died today. She was 25. I don’t think I have ever cried over the death of someone I don’t know before. It just affected me, maybe more than I realized. The idea that life could be taken away so suddenly. She seemed to be a happy woman, and she had the perfect life. She had a lovely brand new house, a sexy hubby and 2 beautiful chubby babies. And yet, she died. Why?

The idea that you could have the perfect life, you could be so happy and everything is going brilliant, and without warning, you are yanked from this earth, leaving behind the ones you love. It made me sad to think of her 2 boys, growing up without a mother. And how she was probably saying the exact same thing from Heaven, because she lost her Mum and she knows exactly how hard it will be.

It seems so unfair.

It also made me think about my own life, and my family and loved ones. Am I happy? Do I like my life? What could I do better? All these ideas and questions started circling my brain, and to be honest it was extremely overwhelming.

I don’t know about you guys, or if you have ever felt like this, but it is such a feeling of helplessness and it sucks.

So, on a brighter and more productive note! I saw a post on Tumblr about how to get a clearer head.

small things to do that make your mind feel clearer

• close all your internet tabs except the one you’re using
• delete all your text messages
• delete negative people from social networks
• throw some things away. just throw them away
• tidy your desk. make a blank surface
• drink 3 glasses of water
• open the curtains
• wash your face and brush your teeth

 

So take from that what you will!

Lots of love
