What an Odd Dream



About 3 or 4 years ago I took a trip to San Francisco. It was the best trip I've ever been on in my entire life. I got to see the Bttsb store which was HUGE for me. I had never seen a jsk or for that matter a brand jsk. Before that point I had 1 skirt to coordinate with and a bonnet for which I was saving to get a coordinating jsk. I literally almost cried I was hysterical when I walked in there, thank god the couch was there in the middle so I could sit down for a second. the store was so beautiful and so amazing. And so was San Fran (Even if I came ill prepared for the weather. A high of 63 in summer?? Really?).
I saw so many pretty places, and I got to do so much fun stuff. And I find myself wanting to go back. Things that seem like one time only's are things I want to repeat. I want to go back the Pier 31, I want to go shopping in Union Square, I want to go back to japan town so badly it hurts. And I think my subconcious knows it.
I have had 6 dreams about the san francisco Bttsb store in the last half year. Being there, directing people there, all kinds of stuff! And 6 dreams doesn't sound like a whole lot, but given I remember only one or two dreams a MONTH- It's kind of big for me.
In one dream I had I remember going in to the store and it being filled with jeans and really bland kind of boring clothes. I was trying so hard to keep a pokerface about it while I searched desperately for lolita in the racks. And in another I was telling another lolita about the store and the japanese mall across the way from it. And I was telling her all the wonderful things there. All the things I did and didn't do.
I really would kill to go back, like so much. There are so many things I wish I could do now! Go to the AP store, go back to the places I went before now that I look so much better! >u> God, they said San Fransisco was addictive, but I had no idea it was this bad! It's such an expensive trip, though. ;n; I guess my dreams are just dreams for now. I'll be back one day Baby!

When the sun don't shine

(Source unknown)
Bad days are just a thing that happen, but that doesn't make them any less pleasant. It can be a listless miserable feeling or a bought of self hate- but no matter what it is, you CAN'T let it ruin you. go on the attack and try and feel better!
You you feel sad/depressed/listless/in a bad way
  • Watch a good movie that will most likely make you cry. It's hard to get over a bad feeling when you don't release them. I would suggest a chick flick that isn't romantic comedy. The notebook is good. Princess and the Frog is a fantastic Disney movie that will pull a couple tears too.
  • Listen to some good music. No mopey music either!! No wallowing allowed! It'll just make you feel worse. Find something moderately happy. Really happy music will make you feel worse, but something that isn't negative will improve things.
  • Take out a little bit of anger. A few options include: Go to a shooting range if you have any experience, take a baseball bat and bash in a few trees, play a violent, easy video game.
  • Be productive. Don't just sit there! Get up, do something! If you just sit around not doing anything you're left to meditate on your sadness and that's never helpful! Get up!
  • If you can't seem to get past it, go to sleep. Sometimes you just are up too late, or are stuck in a rut. Have a day reset and get some rest. things'll be better next morning.
  • Do something you really enjoy. Doesn't matter if it's crocheting or blowing up boxes! As long as you're enjoying yourself.
  • Talk to a friend. Vent, get out all your frustrations, all your worries. It's amazing how much better you'll feel.
  • Or, if no friend is available, write an open letter to what's bothering you or just start writing what's bothering you in general. Catharsis is inevitable.
Going on the offensive. Don't wait for a bad day to hit before you start making preparations.
  • Make a list of everything you love. All the things that make you smile from the simplistic to the complex. When that day where nothing is worth it hits, read the list and feel a little better.
  • Get rid of toxic persons in your life. If someone consistently makes you feel bad get rid of them! No friendship is worth that! It's just not worth it. You'll feel much better.
