Stars make me feel…at ease. The silence and purity of these white lights makes me feel comforted, like they will listen to each and every thought I have and not judge, just listen. Listen to my inner critic of myself, my critic of others, what I like and dislike, what I complain about, what I am scared of, a million things run through my mind when I look up at the stars.

I try to imagine myself in the ocean, just drifting, not in danger of any sharks or anything, just at peace with my sur-roundings and myself. It’s wonderful to lose yourself in the beauty of something so innocent and pure, you feel infinite.

I am starting to ramble, but don’t ever forget, losing yourself to the best things like stars always help.

Inspiration: The xx - Stars

Look at the stars, how they shine just for you.Stars. They fascinate most of the earth’s population each night. Why? This is a question many of us ask, including myself. Why are we all so fascinat-ed by these distant sparkling lights in the dark sheet known as the night sky.

They fascinate us each for different rea-sons; personal connections, adventure, fu-ture, diversity, tranquility, but there are so many more reasons than just the ones I have listed. Stars…are just fascinating. I could stare at them for hours on end, mak-ing constellations from my imagination.

13 WAYS TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY IN 2013.A new year, a NEW beginning, right. But where to start?! It’s important to feel good about yourself. Con-tinue reading for those LIFE-CHANGING tips.

1. Drink at least 1.5 litres of water a day. Water helps to purge toxins from the blood which help keeps your skin glowing and clear.

Don’t compare yourself to others. 2. You are unique in your own way. When it

seem the others have a “perfect life”, re-member the grass ain’t always greener on

the other side, it’s green where you water it.3. Forget the issues from the past. Try to focus on the present. Make piece with your past so you don’t waste your future.

Excersise more than you did before. 4. Go running sometimes, take the stairs instead

of the elevator, walk more often, go to the gym and do some excersises.

5. Also give. And don’t always take. It really gives you a good feeling when you please some-body.

Eat lots of fruit and veg. 6. And only eat when you are hungry.

BUT DON’T STARVE YOUR-SELF. When you feel like taking

a snack, just take some fruit. Also you can set some rules for yourself before taking a snack, first drink 2

glasses of water and then I can take a snack is a good example.

7. Change your negative thoughts into positive ones. When you try you will notice how many times you (accidental-ly) think negative. Sleep at least 7 hours a day. 8.

You really need to sleep a lot. When you don’t, it will affect your health. We

don’t want that, do we?

9. Don’t take everything for granted.Ask how your family is doing and give a spontanious present to you friend sometimes.

Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and eat dinner like a baggar.10. And try to not take any snacks after 8 p.m.

11. Agree to disagree. You don’t have to win every argument.

Realize life is a journey that includes some struggles.12. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger and remember, there

can’t be a rainbow without a little rain.

13. Everything will be okay in the end. And if it’s not okay, it’s not the end.
