The Perfect Recipe

Warning: This post may contain traces of cheese.

There are so many instances in life when the reigns seem to be slipping away and the walls begin to crumble and things appear as if they're bursting from the seems. We feel so helpless and vulnerable when things spiral out of our control and all we can do is curl up into a depressed little ball and lay on your bed, staring listlessly at the wall. How do you get out of this black hole of terror? It is important to remember that you are important and you do matter in this world of nearly seven billion people. Everyone has their insecurities and everyone has their weaknesses. Everyone most definitely has had their fair share of heartaches and disappointments.

My three time-tested fool-proof ingredients in the recipe for overcoming this are:

1. Friends
2. Music
3. A nice big calorie-filled slice of cake (although, following it up with some exercise wouldn't hurt- trust me, your behind will thank you after you have sobered up)

I find that everyone needs at least one solid pillar of a friend that they could count on to talk things through. Impossible issues suddenly morph into simple barriers and the end of the world turns out to be just a simple challenge. Music can almost never do any wrong. There is something for every occasion, and there is nothing quite like the feeling of finding a song that perfectly fits your mood and state. It's comforting to hear someone singing about exactly what you are going through or to be sent into a sweet trance to help you escape your miseries for just a while. And then there is cake. Really..need I explain? I warned of cheese earlier on, and although I haven't listed it in the recipe, some cheese can never hurt. 

So here's to a beautiful happy journey.
