By Diane Nguyen–<\/strong>So, it’s after Valentine\u2019s Day and you spent it single and now you\u2019re feeling down. OR you just failed a test you spent the last week studying for or didn\u2019t study for. Maybe you\u2019re just feeling down for no apparent reason and just feel like sulking by yourself. Well whatever the reason, here are some places to go to get some encouragement.<\/p>\n

My personal favorite is a Tumblr account known as Positive Doodles. The account is basically full of different animals saying different positive quotes varying between relationships, self-love, school, future, etc. These quotes are all pictures so they can be saved with a single tap with your finger or click of your mouse for future look. This account is updated daily so encouragement and doodles are added everyday. You don\u2019t need a Tumblr account to look at these doodles. So if you\u2019re feeling down follow the link: http:\/\/positivedoodles.tumblr.com<\/a><\/p>\n

If the positive quotes didn\u2019t work, log onto Facebook and take an adventure through memory lane. This may be tough and cringe-worthy but it\u2019ll help you realize that you have changed for the better. Also, looking at all of the old photos will make you remember some good times and many more to come! And if most of the old photos just made you cringe and cause you to remember that you hated everyone back in middle\/high school. You will definitely be grateful that you no longer look like how you did in middle school.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t feel like doing any of that? Well, when in doubt find some Adventure Time gifs. You don\u2019t know what it is or don\u2019t watch the show? Do it anyway. The gifs of the show, even without context, are guaranteed to put you in a better mood. Some will make you laugh or even exclaim: \u201cWTF!\u201d It\u2019ll still put a smile on your face. If you\u2019re looking for some advice, look up: \u2018Adventure Time Jake gifs\u2019<\/em> and you will find reaction faces along with some advice here and there.<\/p>\n

If all else fails and you still are not feeling well. Call your firefly. Your firefly is the one person in the world that lights up your world more than anyone else. It is the one person you could never be mad at for no reason and whenever they walk into the room you always feel some weight of life lift off your shoulders.<\/p>\n

I hope this article on encouragement has helped you or those around you. Just remember that things aren\u2019t always going to be this way and that things will get better. Now, I will leave you with a quote that I use to start my day, everyday:<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you\u2019re sad, so I won\u2019t tell you to have a good day<\/strong>. Instead, I advise you to simply have a day<\/strong>. Stay alive, feed yourself well, wear comfortable clothes, and don\u2019t give up on yourself. It\u2019ll get better. Until then, have a day<\/strong>. Right.\u201d -Anonymous<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
