There's what, like 7 BILLION people on the planet. Of course that means there's going to be people that you don't get on with, don't agree with or perhaps you just don't like.

I try not to dislike anyone, unless they truly prove themselves useless to the greater good of humanity. In those instances I simply do my best to block them out and forget they even exist, let's face it after their meaningless existence is over no one else is going to remember them.

There are a few things I think all of humanity should take into consideration at this point though. At no point in life just because YOU don't like someone else are you given the right to:

*Intend, Plan or cause actual bodily harm to that person, their loved ones or anything that belongs to them.

*Say malicious untrue things about that person, their family or friends.

*Act in a vicious manner toward that person, their family or their friends.

The cold truth of it is, that these people who do any of the above are only vermin to humanity. When they say malicious things about others and treat others in a negative derogatory manner they are only making themselves look bad.

I was going to tell you about some people here that act in just that way to many people in their lives, I figured it was better to not waste any time on them, I mean after all by talking about their negative points here, i'd only be doing exactly what they do to others. Instead as i'm sure they'll never happen upon this feature, i'll be polite and keep myself to myself and not bother in their business. Maybe one day they'll behave that way to others.

It seems to be a subject that many people suffer with, from emotional bullying in relationships, friendships, to bullying from their neighbors and colleagues. It's a lot harder to stand up to bullies when the bullies are adults. Remember the rules are the same, they're only bullying you because of something they aren't able to face in themselves.

The best thing you can do (no matter how hard) is be polite, ignore them and in time they'll realise the only person that's not moving on and not being responsible is them. They'll also realise that not only are you not bothered by their childish attempts to cause drama but that your life doesn't need it to thrive upon.

GREAT MINDS DISCUSS IDEAS, AVERAGE MINDS DISCUSS EVENTS, SMALL MINDS DISCUSS PEOPLE

So let that person waste their energy on attempting to bother you, because they're only wasting their own time. You only have a select amount of time in this life, in the flash of a second it could be over, so don't worry about what other people are up to. The present is the only time you can make a difference in your life.

LOVE & PEACE

Hello,

C-B and her famous closet

I used to think having the perfect closet meant owning millions of items of clothing and accessories and hoarding them in some big room of fashion. I used to shop every few days on my way back from classes or work. I ended up with a treasure trove of fashion in my room.
Except. I hardly wear any of it.

Over the last year and a half I've started to find myself by creating myself. When I started blogging I was more or less a lost soul in the sea of life. In time, I've started to find comfort in my own skin, through blogging, through working towards my ambitions and creating new ones when one is achieved. Through finding happiness in my own space, in my own time, in my own way.

When I started blogging, I had come from a 'nice' life that I tore apart to find passion and experience the world for myself. It was terrifying leaving a nice job, a nice boy, a nice house, nice foods, nice things, nice way of life. People thought I was mad, except I knew I wasn't. Fast forward a year and a half, that nice job was a for a company that ended up closing down. That nice boy turned out to be a stranger to me. That nice way of life was not what made me happy, in fact the complete opposite.
I didn't mean any of it personally, I just needed to be away from it for my own sanity.

From 'Spirituality for busy lives'

My income is never certain and I work day and night doing what I do now but I've never been happier. My boyfriend is a musician who has traveled the world doing what he loves. I've never been happier and more comfortable around someone. He's my best friend. That's when it occurred to me; unless it's been for a wedding or very special occasion, in the last year I haven't been shopping. I've been given a few items of clothing and found the occasional treasure in a charity store; apart from that no high street binges, no online late night bargains. I realized; it's because i'm happy.

What if you were told you could have infinite closet space filled with beautiful clothes that looked lovely but when you wore them you felt conscious or one outfit but every time you wore it you felt like a force to be reckoned with. Which would you pick?

I find myself no longer 'in fashion' I love fashion shows, seeing the store displays change throughout the year, I just wouldn't say it's how I am styled. I've found my style and though from time to time I may take a little inspiration from a trend, my style more or less feels like it belongs to me. It's my expression of my personality and the type of person I am. I didn't get that while working in fashion.

So I find myself no longer hoarding and collecting throw-away fashion from all my favourite high street stores. I can't stand looking like every other person in the world, it seems we've all become mannequins incapable of finding our own look. Mannequins should be an inspiration for a look or style but shops use it as a way to sell you an entire outfit and we use it as a way of finding the perfect outfit without really putting any of ourselves into it.

It's taken me a long time to find my own style but when I get dressed these days I do feel like a force to be reckoned with, I feel comfortable, I feel good.
So the fashion part of this blog will look at trends, shows and events but it won't be a high-street haul shopping blog. The fashion featured here will be hunted down from treasure troves and brought here to LITTLEBEARWOLFCOVE.

How would I describe my style? Like a Romantic-goth-Russian-doll-gypsy-hippie with a penchant for 90's grunge. I've loved anything grungy and goth since I was about 14. My mum was a hippy and that's certainly left an impression on me, I had a giant sun painted on my bedroom wall when I was 9 to bring light into my life, with a moon on the other to remind me that even in the dark there is light. The gypsy, romance, Russian aspects of my style have come from the stories I've read, the places I've been and the things I have seen.

I'm off to clear my closet, my mantra for my closet space is 'If I don't LOVE it, it doesn't stay'.

What are your style inspirations? How do you feel about fashion? What is your closet like? I'd love to read your fashion blogs, hear your thoughts on the subject. Feel free to link your blogs in the comments below.

LOVE&PEACE

CLUELESS

Aloha,

  Sorry i've not posted here for quite some time. I've been working so much that I pretty much haven't really had a personal life, except to eat and sleep! I've been thinking about posting, I've certainly had lots of inspiration, but I just couldn't seem to muster anything together.

  I play Skyrim when i'm in need of a place to hide. There hidden away from the world I find peace by completing quests and building my house. My character, a Nord (of course) gives me the escape I need from everything. For the time i'm in the game I can be a dragon slaying, master of sword and combat. Trekking through mountains and honing my archery and sneak skills.

  It's not all games, when I tell people about my adventures and the hundreds of hours I've put into the game, they think i'm a hardcore gamer. I'm really not. I love the occasional Mario Kart championship but apart frmo that Skyrim is really the only game i've ever played for any prolonged amount of time. There are particular reasons for this. I LOVE anything ancient, celtic, medieval or mythical. Dragons, castles, knights, magic, Elves.
Being a music blogger, I must admit the music in particular of the celts and medieval lutes and similar highly awakens my passion for music. I am strongly considering moving to Icealand buidling myself a tree-house fortress and dressing in Skyrim/GoT attire and living the life of a dragon slayer.
<iframe width="854" height="510" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BSLPH9d-jsI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  As I get older I allow more of that love to seep into my everyday life, my friends, family and colleagues all know how much I love anything magical and fantasy! My jewelry all looks as though it was forged in a mountain or made by witches. My clothes have a definite hint of Elvish-witch-princess. My hair has braids through it and is gradually getting lighter and lighter. My living space is looking more like a treasure cove and I find myself wandering ancient ruins and looking for places to explore in my very rare time off.

  The truth of it all is, I've become more of myself. As I get older I find myself more comfortable with being who I am and finding a confidence in my own mind and spirit. When I look back at how I've changed in the past year and a half, I can't believe the difference. I feel incredibly lucky to live the life I do, don't get me wrong, I work damn hard for it, but that doesn't change how much I truly appreciate it too.

  I saw recently  that somebody I used to know, had shared an image with another person. I'm not actually friends with either of these people but because of our mutual friends I get to see it still.  It read 'The best friendships are built on a solid foundation of alcohol, sarcasm, laughter and a dislike of the same people'. If that's what your BEST friendships are based upon, then I now understand why we are not friends. Friends don't wager against friends. They don't lie, or back stab them either. Perhaps that's just an image but when your friendships revolve around negativity you become a negative person. Why would you even joke about friendships needing a foundation of dislike of others. It just makes you appear spiteful. Do you think the things you've said with spite will gain you anything? Faith is not easily regained once lost, it's rare to find it again. Just think about what you say about other people because we all have feelings. These days I try to think before I speak, especially when other peoples feelings are at stake.

'You can't change how people treat you, or what they say about you. You can only change how you react to it.' I love that quote because even in a situation in which you have no choice, you still have the power to be a good person.

 It got me thinking, my friendships are based on inspiration, kindness, compassion, understanding and love. I don't need sarcasm with my best friends as we share honesty. We don't focus on the people we dislike, we focus on the good and inspiring people who have touched our lives. Part of the reason I stopped calling her friend was because someone who consistently said negative and derogatory things about me and the people I care for, was also the person who would consistently imitate and want to know everything that I was up to. I care not for envy so I don't try to understand it. I don't need to bring other people down to make myself feel better; because I've learnt to face my own demons, no matter how terrifying. Through that I've gained some of the most valuable friendships I could have ever asked for.

 Most of all, seeing the post only further fueled my faith that I had finally all those months ago after years of wondering had in fact made the right choice. That I am making my own way and though there may be things I struggle with, for the most part I can appreciate the good I have in my life.

 I no longer look for acceptance in others opinions. If they accept me for me, than they may share everything I have. The others have fallen into the abyss of time and are but mere memories that occasionally wash up on the shore of my current thoughts but fade quickly back into tiny fragments lost again.

I hope for all of you, that you may have at least one magical thing in your life that brightens your path when you need it most. I feel thankful that for the moment I feel there are many things brightening my way.
