Feeling down in the dumps? Go see an elderly person... random one if you wish, the old folks love a bit of company but I personally opted for my great grandmother. In and out of hospital like a yoyo, lonely and widowed for 16 years, and worst of all the poor lady is in a right state about her hair. She has enough tablets in her house to open up her own pharmacy, and even after a week in intensive care one of her first worries was what had happened to her hair. Helped put things in to perspective.
Ok, so luck may not be on my side at the moment but I have nice hair, and when I don't, generally it just needs a wash. And on top of that I am rather priviliged. I have a good family. I've had a good education which hopefully someday will come in useful, even if it does mean I have to pop out kids like a chav and homeschool them. And the icing on my cake, I have a wonderful boyfriend who is a hottie. Not that I remember any of this when I’m feeling depressed, theres times when you can see nothing but the bad but a good cry and remembering these things surely should be enough to cheer up for a bit at least, and be grateful for what I do have, not just what don’t have. Who knows if I will be able to do this, I doubt I will bit its at least worth a try.
And if all else fails, I'll at least do my best to keep my hair washed... even on down days.
