CC. I spent last week house/pet-sitting for my Godfather and their guest bed had one of those memory foam topper things... I have chronic back issues resulting from getting throw off of horses, wrecking motorcycles, falling out of trees etc. etc. (wild child I am har har har) and hollly crap. I came back and slept in my bed the last two nights only to realize I didn't have ANY pain last week while sleeping there (whereas this morning I woke up with a mild headache and couldn't really move).

So I just fucking bought one. Seriously. I am so excited for sleep.

I also have decided to "do what the fuck I want about being who the fuck I wanna be" which entails me getting over my anxiety of wearing high heels and dresses (see above, I ride motorcycles, ride horses, climb trees, play in mud etc. etc.). I did so by purchasing some new clothes (so stoked) and two pairs of cute shoes. I still need jeans, though, lol but that's a different story.

I'm also exercising/stretching more often, and eating WAY better (breakfast this morning was granola, greek yogurt, strawberries and blueberries with a big cup of green tea).

I've been on this kick since December when my "wife" passed away, and I realized after her being the second friend of mine to take their own life that I needed to be better to both be there for people, and to be there for myself. ❤

SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING to make your life a little better? Exercising? Eating better? Volunteering? Getting your life on track? Feel good with me, CC, because I just spent $80.00 and need to stop thinking about it XD;

So many changes! It looks like you're getting off to the right start. I'm glad you found the memory foam thingy. It's awesome to find something you needed, even though you didn't know you needed it.

Personally, this Sunday I start my "clean eating" meal plan. I planned my entire week's meals out last night, and they actually all sound really tempting. I want to lose all the weight I've gained since college. It's pretty much from eating poorly and lack of exercise. I don't eat tons of food, but I eat crappy food so that has to stop. XD But I need to take things one little step at a time or I'll get bored with it. Such is my personality.

Haha :P I have a hard time eating healthier than I do - for me it's more like eating more often because I sometimes get too stressed to eat. I've eaten well for a long time - I stopped drinking soda and eating fast-food in high school and have never looked back. When I moved out I cut out artificial sweeteners and most pre-made things. But it's cutting that stuff out that makes eating kind of a hassle because I can't just "grab something" out of the pantry for lunch anymore, I have to make time to make it and so forth. I've been working on this kind of stuff for awhile.

I am really excited for the mattress thing, though ;v; but it might not even ship out until the end of the week, which kind of sucks because I was hoping to actually catch up on good sleep over Spring break XD;

, my parents have the memory foam topper, it just feels weird for me. But then again I've only ever laid on it like twice for like two minutes.

But that is awesome what you are doing, making your life better, I admire it. I wish everyone had the passion to do that. c: The world would be so different.

I'm currently trying to get into a college in Europe. The colleges in the states are way to expensive for me, and I just love the way it is here. I'm just....happier here. I want to be able to frolic in fields of poppy flowers with sheep (that, right there, is like my dream world, AND IT'S ACTUALLY PLAUSIBLE HERE). But, in order to do that, I have to get in, which may be pretty difficult for me. I have a portfolio review coming up, so I guess we will see how that goes :s

my daughter had to get a memory foam bed for her legs and back, she had serious hip surgery a few months ago and a year ago. It is the greatest thing ever. When my bed dies I will get one.

My trailer is falling apart. I have to find a new place to live, so teah that will make thing better. I have spent a few hours calling various places. We'll see what I can do. I am still retard stupid happy with my hair, it's almost a year since I dyed it purple, permanently. It's preeeetty.

I'm sorry that your friend passed away ;-; It must be so hard, but at least something good came out of it (I mean your healthy lifestyle changed). Actually, I've been on the path to a healthy diet since December too, and it has been working wonders on my weight. Exercising, eating healthy, drinking tea, it's been working for me too ^^ Keep it up!

Wow so many cool changes! I am sorry for your friend also :C It sucks having people you love die. but oh god, can I borrow your bed for a night? ;_; I love the memory foam beds haha. I went to some furniture this one time and there was this rack that had the memory foam pillows and holy fuck it was awesome. I can't imagine how the whole bed must feel xD.

As for me, I recently started college and I feel pretty good about that. I can relate to the money part too xD I spent $60 on some leggings, shirts and a pair of shorts. The leggings I bought online and the shorts and shirts were bought in a mall. But I'm happy so I feel like it was a good $60 to spend xD

This may sound kind of cheesy... or maybe REALLY cheesy, but I've just decided to... be happy about things. And not get too stressed. And do what I need to do to keep myself calm. My life's kind of hectic and stressing right now and I'm just kind of stepping back and looking at it from a bigger point of view, and organizing what I need to do in my mind, and scheduling out when I can do it and when I can do stuff that makes me happy. I have lots of hobbies but I'm super fickle; I'll be super into one for a week then I'll hate it. Then a month or two later I'll love it again. I'm trying my hardest to try and predict those patterns and jump around and think of ones to do when none of them really sound that good. And I'm having fun. C: And my mind is being taken off of... certain things.

Easy way to make my life better is to stay away from unnecessary stress, keep a positive attitude, and not taking stuff so seriously. Staying a kid at heart for life.

Weeeell, I'm not doing anything at the moment (too busy with schoolwork ;_; ), but this summer I'm going to make some drastic changes. Because of some familial problems that occurred last year, I've developed depression and social anxiety. This summer, I'm going to take a long break, relax, and find my happiness again. Along with that, I'll work on building up my self-esteem and confidence with the help of my stepdad and some self-help books. It's not going to be easy, but I need to get back to how I used to be. :'c This past year has been hell.

My daddy got me one of those memory foam toppers, too! It's not as good as my parents' bed (since the whole mattress is basically memory foam) but I gladly accepted it and love it ❤

Let me start off with, I am sorry for your friend ;-; That is really a shame. But at the same time, your improvements that you have made are amazing! I'm sure the whole exercising and eating better is everyone's dream...it's mine at least xD I keep saying I'd eat better and exercise regularly but I never do. Maybe if we finally get some fruit in this house...

I have that same problem. I have the hardest time dressing like...a girl. I'm getting better; I'm more willing to buy dressy/girly tops now, lol. Part of me kind of wants to get summer dresses. Some are pretty but they're just not...me. But some summer dresses look really cute with cowgirl boots (it's in style around here) sooo if I ever feel like spending a good $100-$150 for the boots, maybe I'll consider getting the dresses too lol.

What I'm doing to make my life better? Currently, it's not worrying so much about stuff. I tend to really worry about the near future and what could happen. Last year when I was a senior, I was constantly sad (when I was alone) about graduating. The only reason why I didn't want to graduate was because I didn't want to leave my "band family" behind. I realize now that I spent so much time dreading graduation when I should've just been living life in the present. Don't get me wrong, I hung out with my band friends plenty and had fun my senior year, but I shouldn't have worried so much when I was by myself. I was just making a fuss about something that could result in the way that I don't want it to a week ago, but I dropped that. I'm going to have fun now instead of worrying about what could happen. Besides, maybe having a better attitude will have better results later on.

I'm also learning how to make my voice heard and be a little less of a pushover. Which wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. And there are a few other things but they're just small things.

Makes you feel a lot better, right? :)

You can join me sometime! ;)

I have to do that pretty often, just step back. My anxiety kicks up pretty quick. But I still have problems just letting go and doing things I want to do sometimes. :P

I know that feeling, don't worry ❤ It'll get better, even if it's hard it's worth it.

Yay ;'D

Sooo true! c: I feel rejuvenated in a way. My life is drastically better and I feel happy almost all the time. Finally /someone/ understands XD
