Talk about your siblings.

I have one little sister, her name is Ashleigh and she's 15, but I call her 12 to annoy her. I do lots of things just to annoy her because I think she's really funny, especially when shes annoyed. She loves music, taught herself to play guitar and keyboard and tries to sing (she's not very good at that) She's totally crazy and cares WAY too much about people. She and I have a lot of fun together being crazy and silly and laughing our heads off, usually at nothing much. She also paints a lot but her art really doesn't have any meaning or anything, she mostly just blots bits of paint in different colours here and there. Occasionally she will put words on her paint splotches. She tries to dance too, but she's about as good at that as singing. Also she's a kind of bookworm, not as much as me and mum because she is way too addicted to the internet, but a little bit of reading is better than none. She was a late blooming kind of bookworm. Another funny thing about her is she thinks she's all smart and a spelling champ and grammar nazi but not too long ago she put up a facebook status about her 'swallon toe' not swollen, swallon. She also says she's a potterhead but told me Harry Potter was dumb and she hated it until she was a tween and she still hasn't read the last 10 chapters of the Deathly Hallows. That's about all I can think of to write about her for now, so there you have it, a brief history of Ashleigh.

Something that never fails to make you feel better.

There's really no fail safe thing, not one thing makes me feel better 100% of the time. Music makes me feel better a lot of the time, particularly Metallica and Bullet For My Valentine, but the success rate is probably somewhere around 60%. Shopping usually makes me feel better. They don't call it retail therapy for nothing, but often when I'm out I feel extremely self conscious after I've seen myself reflected in a shop window, and then there's the buyers remorse that can manifest afterwards. I'd say shoppings success rate is roughly 70%. The thing that makes me feel the best is to stay precisely in my comfort zone (my room, my bed) curled up with a good book, watching a movie or something else distracting, even better if my candles are lit or my fairy lights are on. Then just going to sleep, 9 times out of 10 I'll feel much better when I've woken up, that's a 90% success rate. Of course there's always those times I have an amazing and realistic dream and wake up feeling extremely disappointed and just as depressed as before I went to sleep. That sucks hard.

But really, the best thing for it is just to put on your mask, hope there's no cracks in it and just keep on pretending everything is A-Okay.

Weird things you do when you’re alone.

I really don't do anything too weird when I'm alone, Mostly I use up all the internet downloading youtube videos (which is forbidden in my household) feel all naughty and stuff. I also like to watch bad TV and listen to good music bone shakingly loud and sing along completely out of tune, at the top of my lungs. 

Alternatively I'll sit and enjoy the silence by reading <3
