i know sometimes you might have a bad day. or a bad week. or a bad year. you feel like there’s a black crow sitting cross-legged right there on your shoulder. but don’t ever give up! never ever give up! keep swimming, keep being happy and kind and silly and positive. and you’re only allowed to watch the notebook one time! then go do stuff! with other people! that are super awesome like you.

take your segway out:

buy matching hats and take your pup out for a walk in the sunshine:

have a sleepover and dress in rainbow colors and stand along the couch in the living room:

and don’t do this you weirdo:

then cook up some tomato soup and some grilled cheese and go get this book:

it’s all about blythe dolls. what’s a blythe doll? created in 1972 these dolls were produced and sold for one year but then taken off the market because they scared kids and weren’t selling. 27 years later, gina garan was given one by a friend who said it resembled her. garan took her blythe everywhere and later compiled the photos into a boo called this is blythe. today, both original blythe dolls and newly produced blythe dolls are selling like crazy with people customizing them, dying their hair and knitting them caps and scarves and sweaters. mcqueen for target even used exclusively blythe dolls in his ad campaign. i want.
