Day 11's theme was to draw our happy place, where we go when we're in a bad mood, depressed, etc. I'd say that for me that would be my room.

Specifically, where I was going with this was that if I find myself upset to the point of tears, I find it's best to just get away from everyone--be it in my room with the door closed or a bathroom stall for the rare occasion of it happening in a somewhat public place--and let myself cry it out. At some point, someone comes looking for me (usually my mom) and I talk things out with them.

One time, during my freshman year of college, I was so upset by something, that I got some Chick-fil-A, went back to my car, pushed the seat back (but kept the back of the seat upright) to give myself some leg room, took off my shoes, and just sat there, sobbing and eating my chicken nuggets (interesting because I tend to not eat when I'm upset or nervous). It was raining that day and there was no one really around (big campus, class in session), so the alone time was kind of nice, and I didn't have to open the car windows.

Also, sometimes I'll even listen to music to try and bring me into a better mood. I have two songs I like to use for this, in the following order: "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter and "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles. It's like saying, "Okay, things are bad, but it's okay; it'll turn around and get brighter soon." Really, though, I haven't done this in a while; it was mostly for my earlier college days, but maybe me putting it out there will help someone else having a bad day.

Admittedly, while writing the first part of this, I found myself feeling defensive, but you know, there's no need for that. We've all got our own ways of dealing with things, no matter how simple, mature, unique, childish, etc. they may be.

Also, I had to take a picture of this one because my scanner turned most of it blue, killing so much of the color... and I used one of those neat multicolored pencils, too...
