Don’t let anything or anyone get inside your head, make you feel less than amazing. Shit happens. The most important relationship you will ever have, you have with yourself. Learn to be alone and love yourself. Don’t be your own enemy, speak to yourself with love. Don’t let others hurt you or make you feel less worthy. If someone does, cut them out. Life is not a competition. Life is about being happy. Do what feels right. You can choose happiness every day, every moment. The childhood “bullying” between girls continues maybe forever and might transform just into something else, just make sure to be 100% real yourself, no being two-faced and talking shit about others for no reason. You don’t owe anything to anyone. Learn to sometimes just close your eyes from the bad, be the right kind of blue-eyed stupid funny girl that believes in the good, walk away, tug your fingers in your ears and go “nanana I don’t hear you” when negativity is around you. Or anything that annoys you. People who think too much about money and business. People who think materialistic things bring you happiness. People who only think how their lives look on the outside, not how they feel on the inside.
Change your heels into rubber boots and wash away the makeup when you feel like wanting to escape to the countryside and you can’t, put a smile on your face and go outside. Take a book and walk somewhere where it’s pretty and quiet, just enjoy that moment, enjoy being alive. There’s nothing better than real life, imperfection, honesty, real people, flaws that make life pretty, humbleness and real kindness. There are so many things to be happy about, so many things to be grateful for, tiny little beautiful things everywhere if you just open your eyes and let your mind be free. Free from all the bad. How relieving it is to realize, that you are the queen of your own life, you can let go of the bad. Do a favor for yourself, today and every moment from now on. No dwelling in the past, what’s done is done and got you here to this moment, what matters is what you do from now on. What you tell to yourself everyday. I’m telling it’ll be a good fantastic day, I’m feeling good and free. Some light Sunday thoughts. Hope you are having an amazing day, do me a favor and wear a big smile on your face and enjoy whatever you do! Be kind to yourselves and don’t apologize to anyone for being you. Carpe the hell out of this diem! Motto of the day 😀

Such a beautiful piece of writing. I rarely comment on blogs (mainly because of my bad English), but this time, I just couldn’t help myself.
Thank you, Marianna! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your writing kind of made my day 🙂
Let’s continue being fabulous and don’t let anybody bring us down!
You have to live up to your own dreams, goals and views on life and stay true to yourself, that’s all that matters.
Happy Sunday from Tokyo, Japan! And once again, thank you! I enjoy your blog now for at least two years, and I’m pretty sure I’ll stick around for a little longer 🙂 Kiitos!

Like someone else already said, I’ll frame this blog post. It cheered me up a lot! Last month was one of the hardest month ever in my life, and reading this made me smile. I’m not sure if you remember the letter I wrote you on Christmas 2012, but your blog helped me trough my life a lot. I’m plus size and I had so many bad moments in my life, but reading your blog made everything better. 🙂 After a few years I’m okay with being myself now. I’m a happy person who has bad days once in a while, like everyone else, but I love life. Even when I don’t know you in person, I feel like we’re friends when I comment on your post and you reply to me. Thank you for that! You’re an amazing human being, everybody around you can fell extremely lucky to have you! 🙂 <3
Lily says

Completely agree with you, people and things can only interfere with us when we allow. In the end it’s only us with ourselves and that’s that.

Breanna D says
Great message! I think we sometimes can get lost in the pursuit of trying to be perfect, something that is really not attainable and I agree that we should try to focus more on the inside, to make us feel good from the inside out. I suppose that is actually the most important thing, that we are happy from within and don’t make our happiness dependent on factors on the outside which we can’t really control. Have a nice sunday 🙂 .

You’re talking right from my soul. I know these kind of melancholic moments when pure clearness comes crashing in and you’re about to learn how to take life. And I’m really happy that you and so many others here think the same way, it supports me and shows me that many decisions I make aren’t faults just because others don’t feel content about it. I think you just touched many of us!
Brittney says
Such a lovely post. Beautiful words and pictures. It’s always nice to have those little reminders to be confident and perseverant, but also it’s nice to know I’m not the only one that needs then!! <3 Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic inspirational words Marianna! I have been feeling pretty rubbish in myself lately and this post has really made me feel better and sit up and think, so thank you very much for that 🙂

Carian says
Thank you Marianna, I couldn’t agree with you more. Sometimes, these kind of ‘speeches’ need to be told. I’ve been thinking about it as well, but it’s quite difficult to get the entire package on paper.. or blog. You’ve said so many wise words in this post, it gave me rest and power. Once in a while this has to be said as so many girls are insecure and try to be someone else just because (they think) it would make them feel better, or to fit better a certain group. Being yourself and being independent is so important in life. Be who you are, don’t bother what other people think of you! The ones who really care about you, they don’t mind what you look like or what kind of person you are. So indeed, forget the people who use you, treat you bad or make you feel less worthy. So, as you said, carpe diem!! 🙂

Angie says
Thank you for those wise words, they have helped me in this shit monday.
Sadly, we are going to be surrounded by negative and abusive people through our life, at school, at work, etc. I agree with you in that the best think is to take the time to figure out why you are feeling unhappy and who causes that negativity on you and then move away from all that negative and harming people. We must be strong and not be afraid to move away, because we can always choose to be happy. We have to learn from the adversities.

Such a beautiful post. And I love your photos.

Cute post, but you know most of us don’t just post on a blog a few words every 2 or 3 days… most of us have school, a job, bills to pay, exams, etc. we cannot “just” take some time for us and go read a book in a park to make all fit at its right place again… wish it would be as easy as that…
marianna says
If you don’t have free time at all I think you should schedule it on your calendar just like all those other things. 🙂 It’s really important in life to do things you enjoy doing, besides everything.
Gemma says
I needed a bit of this – thank you! Positive thinking is definitely the way forward…

Huoh mitä itsekeskeisyyttä. Jos tulisit maan pinnalle, ehkä huomaisit että täällä on muitakin ja aidot, todelliset suhteet muihin ovat korvaamattomia. Tuo elämäntyylisi kieltämättä jättää sinut pysyvästi yksinäiseksi.
marianna says
Ihmissuhteet on mulle ihan elintärkeitä, ja kun itse on löytänyt mielenrauhan ja oikean tavan elää pystyy antamaan muillekin itestään paljon enemmän, rakastaa ja tulla rakastetuks on yks elämän tarkoituksista mun mielestä 🙂
Selina says
You are truly amazing!
I also think you are so talented in writing. Your words are so true and inspire me 🙂

Marion says
i follow your blog for 2 years now. You’re not only a beautiful girl who has a perfect style, you are also a good person.
It’s true that we don’t know you, but we follow you (and actually, everyday I check on FB to see if you post another article).
You seem to be that kind of person who is always here for her friend, and her family.
I admire you (not only for your style which is absolutely awesome but also because of your life style).
And you’re right, don’t ever let someone judge and blame you for being what you are. Be proud (you can be, I assure you).
If so many people follow you, it’s because you worth it.
You’re such a source of inspiration to all of us.
So, if one day you feel terrible because it’s a “shitty” (sorry) day, just think about us, maybe we don’t know each other, but we love you.
All the best,
NB : (Sorry for my bad english, I’m french and my english isn’t perfect)

Thank you Marianne. I’ve been living in a shitty relationship which makes me feel only sad and empty. After I read this I decided to walk away and be the queen of my own life and my happiness, as you said. Maybe the best, and most important of all, definite decision in my whole life. Thank you <3
