What are the little things in your life that have a big impact?

When i was younger i was constently picked on. Day in day out honestly if it wasnt for my books and scary fairytales i would have gone mad. Currently in my life i realized writing storys to take my mind off of things helps a lot. but the little thing that has the bigist impact would be my skype acount. Who would of known i was going t find the best friends i have ever had on the internet. I may never meet them in real life but they are the best.

 

My confidence seemed to improve massively when I dyed my hair green for the first time. Apart from that, I always find meditation helpful.

 

Routine.

When something disrupts it, I feel out of place; whether it's expecting that something bad's happened/happening, or that a significant part of my routine has stopped and that it's coping with the change that makes me feel odd.

Without routine, I'd constantly be finding it hard to even be comfortable with where I am.

 

Doing drag, definitely. I'm not out yet exactly because I'm having so much difficulty with the transitioning and I'm trying to find the right time to start preforming and getting myself prepared for what may come but with all that being said, I still love doing it. I love putting on the make up, I love seeing the transformation and I love going into my room and preforming for myself in front of a mirror. It gives me so much confidence and drive to be who I am and recently, I've come out of my shell and started talking with people instead of listening to everyone's conversations, fearing that I would say something stupid that would lead to embarrassment and/or immediate rejection due to making the moment awkward.

 

Performing in marching band/percussion makes a huge difference for me. I can go to a practice feeling really crappy, but it's like I can take all of my emotions and transform them into a really strong performance. So I'm getting some use out of my feelings, in other words. Then I can go home feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. It's great.

 

Whenever I go out and play great tennis. It can turn around my mood for days.

And oddly enough, whenevet my facial stubble grows back I feel more confident in my appearance and that puts me in a good mood as well.

 

When someone shows his/her fondness for me.

 

We should talk! :smilewave

But really gets me going is performing! even if it's just to myself or to mom. I could be in the shitest of moods and turning on my fav song or play and singing my lil heart out will bring the best out in me

 

Honest compliments <3

 

My school's GSA. ^.^

 

Getting an e-mail or letter from a particular person always lifts me up.

Also, cups of tea are always good.

 

A hair-cut usually gives me a bit of a boost when I feel neglected. Also agree on good smelling soap and eau de toilet. And freshly laundered bedding tops it all.

 

What really helped me was deleting Twitter.

I was semi-addicted to Twitter, to the point where I'd just sit there with my phone in hand, refreshing tweets every minute and scrolling down to old tweets that I might have missed. Being glued to twitter didn't help me at all, especially as some people I used to follow would often retweet homophobic bullshit from their Christian idols.

Getting rid of the bird was a New Year's resolution come early, and I couldn't be any happier for it.

 

The same thing happened for me with Facebook, so I deleted mine a while ago and refuse to get back on.

 

When I'm told, I'm making an impact or having an influence, in general, or to/on someone. This is very important to me, because it reassures me, all the progress I have made, over the past several years, is actually working.

Meditation, since doing it routinely, has been a big impact on my life. It has done so much for me, even if it took a little while, to get comfortable and patient enough for it.

Though I've never experienced it, I would just like to, lay my head on a special somebody's lap, maybe they play with my hair, and tell me, "You don't worry about anything, right now. You do so much; let me take care of you, now.", or something along those lines, because I am always on duty, when it comes to errands and others. It could be 1 minute or 1 hour, it doesn't matter; possibly having a moment, in my day, where I can just be spoiled with pampering, is an appealing-enough thought, which I assume would be just as appealing in actual deed.

Laughter, too. Especially if I caused it.

 

Music always helps me to get into mood. With the right tune playing I can face the whole world alone.

Thinking. I always need to jump back from mainstream to collect my thoughts and analyze things.

Working on comics, coming up with new ideas. I never feel more alive than I work on comic stories or characters.

While all those things can have positive impact, they can also turn into big hindrances. Let's keep it positive tho'.
