Bad Patches Serve a Purpose

{ in case you missed some posts this week here's a quick round up of the most popular: urban outfitters controversy, my bedside cabinet renovation project and a huge beauty giveaway! }



i've only just realised it's friday 13th. eekkkk! being the superstitious person that i am i'm really glad the day had mostly passed before my realisation. hopefully i can make it through the next four hours unscathed. i hope you've all had a nice, uneventful day! i have a little friday night quote love for you. this is a good one, don't you think?...


“People who have only good experiences aren’t very interesting. They may be content, and happy after a fashion, but they aren’t very deep. It may seem a misfortune now, and it makes things difficult, but well—it’s easy to feel all the happy, simple stuff. Not that happiness is necessarily simple. But I don’t think you’re going to have a life like that, and I think you’ll be the better for it. The difficult thing is to not be overwhelmed by the bad patches. You must not let them defeat you. You must see them as a gift—a cruel gift, but a gift nonetheless.”

  1. Nothing majorly bad happened to me today! :O Well, other than the torrential rainfall during my driving lesson... and then being stranded in said rain after meeting my friend!

  2. This quote is so true. And I like the term 'cruel gift' for these things, I'll have to remember that one.

    i've always thought that my own personal experiences have helped me to develop a good moral compass.
