You're enough!


  I recently heard a song called "perfect to me" by Anne-Marie and I think it's an amazing song because it talks about how it's okay to feel comfortable in your own skin, and not have to constantly worry about what people think. It's a direct and hopeful message to people going through an insecure phase, especially teens.

  I don't think it's fair to say it's our fault for having insecurities, when we're constantly surrounded by all types of unrealistic standards and goals, whether it's beauty or the idea of always having to be perfect and unflawed.

  There are alot of people that say girls are more insecure than boys which quite frankly isn't true. While girls are taught to be "perfect" , boys are taught not to show their emotions and "man up" which I think is the root of all problems.

  Unless we realize our own mistakes, it's not going to get any better or simpler, it's just going to get more complicated with each day that passes.

  While we're told by our parents on how to be confident and prioritize ourselves , we're also constantly criticized by society on everything. From not having the perfect skin color, to not being slim enough or tall enough , to not getting the perfect grades or just generaly not being good enough, there is no way to satisfy them, and we don't have to satisfy them because the list is never ending. Those people aren't worth our time, they love feeding off other people's insecurities , it makes them feel better about themselves which says alot about them as a person.

  We should set our own standards and work hard to achieve those, be happy and comfortable in our own skin because we really are extraordinary beings!
Lets stop trying to meet other people's standards and for once , meet our own standards, do things because it makes us happy and not care if it's going to raise eyebrows and doubts because at the end of the day, it's our life and we get to choose how to live it.

 There's already so many people trying to bring us down, why do WE need to do that to ourselves as well? That's called self-doubt and self-hate and the faster we recognize it, the better we'll get at replacing that with self-love and self-care!

         “Im okay with not being perfect, cuz that’s perfect to me”

Getting to know me!✨

  Hey, this is my very first blog post and the last time I felt this much pressure was probably during my Alevel board exams!   So to begin with I would love to introduce myself, I'm a regular 17year old who wants to stay anonymous for the time being. I'm in my last year of Alevels so that means alot of big changes are coming my way! The thought of graduating actually feels unreal. I still remember the time I used to look at all the seniors graduating and think to myself "it's probably gonna take ages to get there and it looks like so much work" but now here I am graduating in just a few months! Time flies when you're busy worrying about why time isn't flying fast enough haha!  I also love being sorrounded by nature! I can't begin to tell you how many times I've stopped the most important work I'm doing just to stare at fluffy clouds and pretty sunsets!  I feel nature really connects humans to the beautiful big world we live in and sets ...

The right time.

  Back in September, I met my neighbors for the first time, and instantly felt a connection with them! I remember it was a warm Wednesday afternoon when a few ladies from my neighborhood came over at our place for tea.   I had school that morning and still remember how I wasn't too thrilled about meeting them because of the crazy amount of schoolwork I had to complete. Also, the fact that I was sleep deprived didn't help either.   However, I'm glad my neighbors came over because I met 2 girls who're around my age and let's just say we became good friends by the end of the gathering. That was the beginning of our most regular and spontaneous hangouts.   The point of this short story is that good things happen when we least expect it but certainly need the most. We might think that the situation we're facing isn't for the better or maybe isn't happening at the right time but in reality, everything that happens to us happens for a reason and the timi...

A "not so inspiring" blog post!

  So I've had some trouble thinking of topics to blog about and I thought why not talk about exactly that. When I first started writing, I had this idea in my head that the posts I write should always have an aim and should always be up to the level but as the days passed I realized it's not always going to be that way.   Blogging shouldn't always have to be focused on talking about topics that need to be heard by the majority. Honestly, sometimes it can be as simple as  "How my day was" or " How I completed a task that I didn't feel like completing". In my opinion, blogging is basically journalling that's open to the public. Don't you think?    We express our emotions by simply talking about them and receive feedback that usually goes something like "I can totally relate to this" which is what motivates me to continue writing! There's something therapeutic about writing, even if it's the most random of topics. I never ...
