Chit Chat away :)

Hi, My name is CarrieAnn, I'm 28 years old.  I have been giving my own personal advice to others for quite some time now. People always told me how patient and great I was at it. So I started thinking about making a blog of my own. a few years ago my dad passed away & although his passing opened my eyes to so many things one main thing that stood out to me was this, be there for those who need someone to talk to. This is what I love to do,help people & I enjoy making a difference. You are stronger than you think. Just know you are not alone and there is so much help out there. I want everyone who crosses this site to just breathe,pray,have faith,what you are going through is only temporary,it will get better.. Please don't hesitate if you need someone to listen.

Riley | 03/26/2015

I'm so sorry for the late reply my blog site was giving me issues & I had to email people & get it fixed & I'm really sorry to hear about this I hope you're okay & got a chance to explain & stay at your apt I don't know the full story of what exactly happened I definitely believe you deserve a chance to explain yourself this is a really tough situation in so many ways I believe you just need to try your best to speak your mind I know it's really hard for you to do but when it comes to the consequences of being out of a home you should do the best you can to stay under that roof or finding a good lawyer/person to stay with,do you have a job? I need a bit more details to help out

Re: Need a shoudler and a kick in the butt

Riley | 05/21/2016

I'm really sorry to hear about all that. That is just terrible,nobody deserves that. I completely understand you are going through a hard time right now probably the hardest time ever. You should definitely try and ask for another meeting. You don't have anyone at all? Partner,friend,good neighbor? It definitely helps to have support on your side but in the end it comes down to only affecting you & your life, so if nobody can be there to support you which I know is really tough but you have to do whats best for yourself & talk to your supt or landlord, just be completely honest & try not to get angry,stay calm, I mean I'm only a call away if you need any more advice. Dont hesitate, don't feel like you are alone, I really hope things have worked out by now.

Doggy dog world

Linda | 01/28/2015

Hey Carrie, I'm friends with you on Facebook and I really like your blog! Anyway, I'm a music ed major studying voice at Rutgers, and I believe I'm losing hope in myself. I keep comparing my progress with others and it really bums me out--makes me feel like I'm not good enough. It's taking a toll on me; I'm becoming less motivated to keep trying and that's a big no no! How can I fix this uncertainty?

Re: Doggy dog world

Linda | 01/31/2015

Thank you so much,it means so much to me. Yeah that's definitely a no no, you should always feel good enough because you are. Sometimes when you see others doing so great it seems like you aren't but you are great. Even people who seem great have had their struggles. Some people have a better way of hiding it. Everyone has bumps in the road. Even people who seem to be so great it took a lot to get there & sometimes it doesn't work out for them. So believe in yourself & work hard it will pay off. You will be better than great as long as you have the right mindset. If this is what you truly love don't give up. You should be your own motivation,try doing better each day for YOU. Don't ever lose hope,just have to believe in yourself & in what you love. Where you invest your love you invest your life. I believe you will make more progress & be 100x stronger than the ones you think have progressed. Don't be down about it,pop in a funny movie just to take your mind off it for a bit & try to make some progress or motivate yourself to do better. You can do it,I know you can. If you need more help I'm here,but my best advice is to just not give up,continue working hard,don't pay too much attention to others as hard as it is just don't it's better for you,have a lil faith & just try harder each day.

I just ended a friendship which was very hard, because he was a bad friend but I am so sad but I feel it was best for me. Do you think I did the right thing?

I have a pretty long post about friendships you should check out. I don't know exactly what happened but It can be very difficult cutting people out of your life. Unfortunately it usually happens to a lot of people. I do believe everything happens for a reason. If you feel in your heart that it was the best decision for you than thats what you need to follow. It's always the hardest in the beginning. It will get better it just takes some time. If you felt the need to remove them from your life than you did the right thing. Your life is only as good as you make it & those you share your life with. If someone makes you angry way too often,makes you question everything, doesn't make you happy, isn't there for you when its most important,puts you down all the time,etc than you will be better off in the long run. It takes time but just surround yourself with the good positive people in your life. It will get easier to deal with. Years from now you will look back & just know you are better off. You don't deserve someone who constantly knocks you down, but pay attention to who picks you back up. That is what you should be happy about. Having someone who helps you when you are at your lows. If you need any more help or have any other questions,don't hesitate to ask/contact me. All my social media is on my page including my personal email. Have a great night & don't forget to smile :)

What do you do when you are sad? & really just want to laugh and be happy?

I definitely recommend watching a really funny movie, or starting a funny t.v series. You can even look up funny videos on youtube,That has always made me laugh & just get my mind off things for a while. Also spend some time with anyone you are close with,family members or friends. Just getting out of the house & being with someone really helps. Also getting a job definitely keeps your mind off things & keeps you busy for a while. Basically the key is taking your mind off the things that make you sad. So try to keep yourself busy and focus on good things/happy things. Let the good things in don't be afraid to let go & allow good things back in. If they are negative bad things let it go best you can. Otherwise just take it day by day & try harder each day to take your mind off the negative. I really do believe laughter is the best medicine. I always feel so great inside after a good laugh lol. You deserve so many great laughs in life. Do your best and laugh every chance you get. Don't ever stop smiling,you deserve to. Also don't let anyone control that great smile of yours. Keep the key in your pocket. I hope this helps if you need more advice,I'm here :)

So there is this guy I have been dating but he cheated on me with my best friend & we broke up, but I miss him.. will this get any better? will I meet someone better?

I am sorry to hear that. Let me just say,you don't deserve that kind of guy in your life. Anyone who treats you bad in any way it isn't worth the tears & the late nights. Cheating shouldn't ever be the answer. If he was unhappy he should've talked to you about it. Your best friend shouldn't have gone along with that either. You don't deserve that treatment from anyone. I understand it hurts/you miss him. It will get easier & better in time. You will be so much better off trust me on that. For right now just try to keep yourself busy with school/work/spend time with your real friends/family. Watch a funny movie or talk to me if you need a good laugh :). Eventually down the road when you least expect it & you are ready. You will meet someone so so much better who respects you. Someone who loves & cares so deeply about you. You will have someone who won't make you think about that guy. It might cross your mind now from time to time. Just really try to get your mind off it. I am telling you though you won't look back on this when you are with the person you are meant to be with. I truly believe that someone great will find you & take the best care of you,& you will be so much happier. Don't settle for less than the love & life you deserve. :)

What do you believe in?

I believe in laughing as much as possible,I believe in myself, I believe in others, I believe in love, I believe in family & friendships, I believe in helping people, I believe if you work really hard, and want something enough you will get to where you want to be, I believe in not giving up on myself or anyone else, I believe in respecting myself & others, I believe in dreams & people making dreams a reality, I believe in doing the best I can, I believe positivity is key,

I believe love & happiness are the most priceless & best gifts ever :)

Will you be my friend?

Awe of course, I love making new friends :) friendships are really important to me, don't hesitate to talk/ask for advice if you ever need it.

Do you believe the right person is out there for me?

I believe everyone is meant to have someone special I do believe that you will find someone who respects & loves you completely. You will just know when they are the one for you. I don't know if this is just me but I always feel like if you look for love its not really gonna happen that moment how you want it to. Love finds you at the most unexpected of times. I feel like,if you keep yourself busy & your mind occupied on other things,it happens at that moment. I mean everyone finds love at different times/in different ways. Don't settle for less than you deserve. You have such a big caring heart & you are a great person. you deserve to be with someone who really makes you happy. Someone who cares about you like no one else has. I have a really good feeling that he is out there & when you least expect it,it could happen. :) Don't give up on love,love will find you :) I hope this helped & made you smile. Take care,if you need to talk,you may contact me directly :). 

What are a couple funny and good movies you recommend?

I have a whole list of good movies lol,but I'll try to keep it short. I hope you enjoy them as well :)

My Cousin Vinny, Patch Adams, Bridesmaids, Dickie Roberts,Happy Gilmore,Big Daddy,Mr.Deeds,Ace Ventura pet detective, 

There's something about Mary,Tammy,Last Vegas,This is 40,identity thief, Ted. If you need more suggestions just ask :)

My roommate & I live together. Tonight she comes home at 5am with two friends. Though I am cool with these people. I just wanted to go to bed. I'm a very light sleeper & they were watching tv & talking loud. What should I do,I'm annoyed! ?

Once they are gone, you need to speak with your roommate (calmly) about calling ahead of time to bring friends over. Most people are sleeping around 5 am. The best thing is to just talk to your roommate & tell her how you truly feel. Talk things out & come to an agreement. If she is bringing people home at late hours of the night. She should tell you ahead of time & also keep the noise level down low so you can sleep.

I just found out my friend got with my ex.
Is she really a friend if she did that?
I was a bit hurt by this, if it was just some random girl I wouldn't be hurt but I feel like she's not a true friend now.
also, my ex is good friends with my friends ex boyfriend, so I don't feel he's a good friend to him.
Should I cut her out of my life?

In my opinion, a real friend would not do that without giving you some kind of fair warning - should've at least told you they were talking. If you are going to feel hurt everytime you see her, no point in continuing with the friendship. I think you should also make sure the facts are true. Talk to her about it & see her side of it. I don't think it was right at all. You seem really upset about it. Everyone is different & reacts different. If its true & you feel that nothing can be fixed. Than you should just do your own thing& let her do hers. If she understands where you are coming from & rather have you in her life than to mess up the friendship & be with your ex,maybe you can talk things out. At the same time everyone will tell you something different. You should really take some time & think about what's best for you. 

You are amazing thank you! So glad you are helping people but why do you do it?

Thank you & thank you I appreciate it :). Well, thats a great question. I have always enjoyed making people happy. Seeing someone smile/laugh always made/makes my day. When I was around the beginning of my teenage years I started to help my friends & family here & there whenever someone needed to talk. Sometimes I got referred to people from my friends. I was up all night helping people I barely knew. I was helping a friend out but also giving advice to their friends. I can say that I have turned people around to see the great things in life. I am so glad I could help people see the positive in life. As I got older I started helping people on the internet, just because I love to help people so much. Just being an extra pair of ears to listen to those who needed to talk. I was helping people on there & than I was asked to start up my own website/blogging. I started to think about it for a while but there's so much negativity on the internet so I was hesitant. When my dad passed away,it pushed me further. What did I have to lose? this page isn't for negativity its for giving advice/helping people/making a difference,overall positivity. So I started this page up & I have been helping more people & I'm loving it. Even if its just a couple people. It's worth it,if I can make you smile & make a difference. That is what makes me happy. You are all great & unique in your own way. You are all loved by the people who care deeply including me:). Don't give up on yourself,your dreams,love,friendships,faith,happiness. Do what makes you happy,laugh your heart out & don't let anyone stop you :).

what to say to a friend that has recently lost one of her parents?

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend's loss. Loss is never easy to deal with. I do think if you have a good family & real friends(such as yourself),it will be easier to deal with. I would just say that you were very sorry to hear the news and that you've been thinking of her. If you are quite close maybe say you didn't want to overwhelm her by calling but that you're there anytime to talk or just listen? If you knew the parent I think it's nice to say something a bit more personal about him/her, a fond memory or something. I think she'll appreciate hearing from you. Just don't expect a response right away she may not be up to it yet. As long as it comes from the heart, I assure you your kind words will mean a lot to her.

I was talking to this guy for a year,we weren't official but we only talked to each other,he called me nicknames,we were intimate, I thought we were heading into something serious "relationship" but now he says he doesn't like me anymore, he has moved on with his new girlfriend,my friends & family say to move on. This is my first heartbreak & I really miss him. I am hoping he will come back to me. Please give me your honest opinion?

I am sorry to hear about this. I know & I understand how you feel. First heartbreaks are usually the worst. I don't mean to upset you but I'm just telling you the truth. If he has moved on that quickly & he is official with someone else. It doesn't seem like he felt the exact same as you did/do for him. You should always be at the same level & understand each other as well. If you are serious about someone you don't just give up on them like that & run right into a relationship. Don't for a second blame yourself for his actions. I understand all the stuff thats running through your mind. What did I do wrong? NOTHING. How can I fix this? Its not something you can fix. Am I good enough? You are more than good enough,you are great.Am I pretty enough? You are beautiful. Why don't I have him? You deserve a lot better than what he has to offer,respect & honesty. You are a smart,kind hearted & pretty girl who deserves better. you deserve someone who doesn't leave. You deserve someone who REALLY cares about you. Someone who appreciates having you in their life. And someone who is serious about you & only you. I understand you are hurting & you miss him. I don't blame you,you thought it was getting serious. He just has a different outlook. I know it's hard now,take it all day by day. Try to keep yourself busy & keep your mind off him & the situation. Spend more time with good friends & family. If you don't already,get a job. The busier you are the less you will think about it. Yeah,you will have your moments but with help from loved ones it will get better. If you need more advice,feel free to contact me.
