Getting used

This is one of the things I've been thinking about on and off for quite a while now.I don't even know why,but it just keeps spinning around in my head.
I was especially intrigued by how it is different for us to get used to the good and bad things.I suppose this is just another one of those things that depend from person to person,but I have noticed this specific difference in a lot of people's behaviour (including my own) so I thought I could share a few things about this.
Just think about it for a second.
We live the biggeste part of our lives in complete misery,whether we realise it or not so much.We are just settling for a bad day,or a bad week,but this eventually has the tendency to turn into a bad life,if you ask me.At some point,we just get used to all the crap and start taking things as they are.We lose faith.We lose hope.We just lose it.The misery and sadness becomes an extension of our personality so we just go for it.We get used to it and stop questioning if we could change anything anymore.
However,there may come a time when you can actually be happy.You may just get this amazing oportunity of a shot at your very own silver lining,even if just for a little.But when this sort of things happen,we just look at things a thousand different ways,from a million different angles and still don't want to put our heart into it,because once you've got used to the sadness,there is hard to get out of it.You just overthink things all the time,simply because you don't know how to be happy anymore.You may even take the chance,but never are fully happy because you are always going to be waiting for the moment when things fuck up.Because that is how they always do for you.
You know that opening yourself up to this would only mean another shot for somebody to hurt you.You know what they say about hope,right?It breeds eternal misery.
Well,let's just take a moment and think about what could go wrong for once.Maybe,just maybe,a moment of pure happiness is worth a little suffering later on.The point of life is not to avoid sadness at all costs,but to enjoy the simple moments when you feel infinite,when you could as well reach for the stars and get them.
So,fellow readers,why not let yourself believe that you could get used to being good?Let's make it our resolution for this new month and maybe,if it works out,it could be our new year resolution as well. 
Love always,
Me.

The sequel of my dreams? // MONSTROUS DESIGN blog tour

  I was lucky enough to be part of the blog tour for the first book in the series , Dangerous Remedy , last year and it's fair to say these characters have been, as is their way, living rentfree in my mind ever since. Not only was the first book such a fantastic read, it ended on a cliffhanger promising many more adventures to come, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the second installment in this series. Thus, I shall share with you all things Monstrous Design  so that you can join in my excitement! Synopsis:  Following the thrills and spills of Dangerous Remedy, the Battalion of the Dead return in a dazzling new adventure, set amid the opulence and squalour of 18th-century London and Paris. 1794, London: Camille and Al are desperately hunting Olympe's kidnapper. From the glamorous excesses of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens to the city's seedy underbelly, they are caught in a dangerous game of lies and deceit. And a terrible new enemy lies in wait with designs more m...

Gods, monsters and ugly sea fish - Frances Hardinge's DEEPLIGHT

Rating:  ★★★.75 / 5 Plot: For centuries the gods of the Undersea ruled the islands of the Myriad through awe and terror: they were very real, and very dangerous. Sacrifices were hurled into the waters to appease them, and every boat was painted with pleading eyes to entreat their mercy. They were served, feared and adored. Then, thirty years ago, the gods rose up in madness and tore each other apart. Now, none remain. The islands have recovered and the people have patched their battered ships and moved on. On one of these islands live Hark and his best friend Jelt. To them, the gods are nothing but a collection of valuable scraps to be scavenged from the ocean and sold. But now something is pulsing beneath the waves, calling to someone brave enough to retrieve it. Review: The more I think about this book, the more in awe I am even though it's been a while since I've finished it. I had heard people singing Hardinge's praise for age...
