"YOU ARE NOT YOU"

Not long ago I recommended you a movie "The Theory of Everything", breathtaking production that breaks your heart into million peaces every time you watch it. Today I come to you with a movie a bit similar - "You are not you"

Few days ago I stumbled across very interesting story of a woman that suffered from ASL. Kate was forced to resign from her music career. Lucky for her, she had a loving husband Evan by her side. Her health kept getting worst to the point where she lost her self-reliance and had to hire someone to take care of her. Surprisingly she chose inexperienced collage student Bec, who is looking for a right path in her life. With time they develop wonderful relationship that helps both of them with dealing with their weaknesses.

"You are not you" shows an amazing story about friendship, personal battles and hope. Music created by Jeanine Tesori is a masterpiece. It is touching and perfect as a fulfilment to this production. Main roles played by Hillary Swank and Emmy Rossum create perfect Gal Pals. 

There is no other movie like this. Be prepared for lots of crying. There will be many tissues involved ! I believe it is not only worth watching for women but men too. Everyone can take something important from it. Don't ever take life for granted and use every minute of it. Be sure not to waist it ! 

KEEP GOING FORWARD 

Everything changes constantly. People, habits and priorities are progressing over the years. 

One of the most common thing you can hear talking about differences between generations is understanding social medias. Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Pinterest - those are just a few from a very long list. The idea is simple - create your virtual self by adding photos, videos and statuses to your profile. But reality is not that simple. Unfortunately people like to change everything into a contest. Everyone wants to to popular even if it means that you change a bit here and there. The problem is, you stop realising when you change to much and your profile becomes a profile of someone completely different. 

Instagram is a really good example. Constant fight over likes and followers. People find more and more ways to "become better". Promoting profiles is the most common. A little bit less popular is buying followers or likes. Just by sending one text you can get some fake followers ( 10 zł for 1000 followers ) 

I believe that understanding why is very important. I have my own theory. It's all about insecurities. If your friend posted a picture that got more likes that the one you posted you start to wander why. Maybe because your hair looks flat or your make-up is not the best but in that moment your insecurities are talking instead of you. And next time you will take a better picture, maybe you will not like it as much as the last one but it will get more likes. I believe that's how social medias change us.

Not long ago I read an article that frightened me. According to that  80% of young people between 16 and 20 years old is unhappy about their lives. As a reason are given social medias.

While scrolling through your feed you start notice that  your life is not as "good" as you thought it was. Ofcourse it's not right. Everyone tries to look their best on social medias. Perfect hair and perfect clothes are just a part of someone's life. What's not visible on those photos is what's underneath.

What I believe is really important is knowing that you are not define by numbers . You shouldn't be bothered with anyone else but what you think. It probably will sound really cheesy but do what makes you happy. Those are the best words to live by. 

THE THEORY OF EVERTHING

When it comes to my taste in films, I'm not easy to satsfy. If anyone asked me, I wouldn't be able to point to my 10/10 movie. Most likely because I haven's seen one like this yet.

I was really suprised when my close friend told me to watch movie about Stephen Hawking  but what did I have to lose right ? Today I'm really glad I trusted her because this movie ended up on my "worth watching" list.

"The Theory of Everything" is a biographical drama movie directed by James Marsh that tells a story of famous physicist Stephen Hawking. Everthing begins in 1963 in Cambridge Uniwersity when Stephen (Eddie Redmayne) started his education and met the love of his life. While doing what he did best his muscles began to fail. Later on he learns that he has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis also known as ALS. Short after realising that his time is limited Stephen and his girlfriend Jane (Felicity Jones) decide to get married. Stephen also pursued his research about physics and black holes which gave him enough strangth not to give up and fight with illnes.

This story is one of the best combination of drama and romance. It shows everthing is possible even when no body believes in you. It is moving, exciting and breathtaking. Music and acting style is simply magnificent. It shreds your feelings into small peaces. What more can you possibly want from a drama movie ? 

As I said there are not lots of movies I can recommend to everyone but without doubt "The Theory of Everything" is one of them. It's not important how old are you or what kind of movies do you prefer, I quarantee you will fall in love with this movie and it's more than worth it. I give it strong 8/10.

POSITIVE BODY IMAGE

I believe that we don't live ina easy times when it comes to body image. Everyone tries to tell you how you supposed to look. Very often young girls are thought that they are not enough beautiful because they don't look the way models do. Today I would like to share a few tips on how to love yourself no matter what.

1.  First of all you have to KONW YOUR VALUE ! Looks and stereotypes don't define you. You should know that the most important thing is you being a good person and a decent human being. Everything starts with you.
2. Don't compare yourself to anybody.  Models and celebrities don't look like on the cover if the Vouge all the time. Remember to be you in every situation and under every circumstances.
3. Try to think positive about your body.Instead of thinking that your butt is too big start to apparactive that you have attractive curves. Postive thoughts are the key to proper body image and when you have that no one will tell you that something is wrong with you.

Livig in a world full of hate is not easy. We have to learn sooner or later how to deal with negative thoughts and change our weaknesses in strengths.

There is nothing easier than finding information about health and healthy life on the Internet nowadays. What to eat ? How to exercise ? How to lose weight ? All of these questions are really simple to find answers to. Today I'm going to look for something diffirent. I'm going to find out how healthy life affects our  health and comfort.

Exercises are more and more popular these days. Mostly because they help lose weight but there are a few other important results of exercises.

Studies show that regular physical activity can improve memory and lower the risks od dementia at a later stage of life. It decreases th risks of osteoporosis too. Exercises are also a great way to help with digestion. Last and not least physical activity excreate endorphines which can prevent depression. 

Healthy diet has as many positive affects as exercies,  for example it decreases the amount of stress and increases the resistant to infections.

Very often we forget about right amount of sleep. It improves our memory, stimulates creativity and strenghthens concentration. It also helps with keeping healthy weight. 

Healthy lifestyle has much more possitive affects on our body than any pill will ever have. Its not hard to try find a better way to spend our life on earth. I hope you found something interesting, suprising or useful and that it will be encouraging for some of you to find out even more. 

FUTURE IS COMING !

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be teenager nowadays ? I'm quite sure that there are some strong pros and cons but today I would like to focus on one particular thing.

If someone asked me what's the most frustrating thing about beeing an unstable young human beeing I would bet on a constant thought of future and upcoimng hard choices. What uniwersity to choose? What do you want to be in future?  How are you going to achive your dreams ? Those are just a few of the important questions we have to ask ourself. We all know that all of that is coming very fast and is pretty much unavoidable. It's not only scary and terrifying but also very often we are left with it on our own. In the end we know ourselves like no one does. Choosing what we want to be for the rest of our lives is a very responsible choice that not all of us is able to make in such a young age. Let's face it, you don't want to think about responsibilites at the age of 16. Especialy when it seems you can't find the perfect match  even if you try. I guess theat people who know exactly what they want to do are the most lucky among us. We should all congratulate them. 

 For those how doesn't know yet I have one advice. Don't rush anything. Everything will come to you in it's own pace. Maybe while walking your dog some saturday mornig or while standing in front of the mirror one day. You have to hope it will beacause we don't have much left to do.
