Let it be⭐️


   Like most of you, I'm a big fan of snapchat! Maintaining streaks?  Taking weird snaps using almost all the filters ranging from the ones that make you feel pretty to the ones that make you laugh at yourself? Yup I love every part of it!
 And recently, I saw some new filters which to my surprise were actually really motivating and exactly what I needed. 

One of my favorite is "let it be"  These 3 words have the power to change the way you see yourself in situations if you look into the depth of it.

 We're all so focused on doing everything so perfectly, making plans ahead of time and setting up goals and tasks when we have no idea how the future is going to turn out! 

Maybe we're meant to do something completely different from what we expected but because we've already planned every part of how our future should turn out, we restrict ourselves and don't quite reach that point. 

 Giving yourself the power to make plans as you go along the way is so important, we don't realize how one decision can really change everything, it's great to have a plan but for people that don't seem to have one it's totally okay and nothing to stress about. 

I want to share my personal experience, as I mentioned in my first blog post I'm a 17 year old in my last year of Alevels, and at the beginning of the year, I saw most of my friends planning everything from their dream universities to all the different tests required to get in the best universities whereas I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go  and initially if I'm being honest, I freaked out and thought to myself "I'll never know what I want to do and I'll never get into a good university" but now I've realized, what's meant to happen will happen no matter how much you worry,  if it's meant for you it'll never miss reaching your way so there's no point in stressing over something that isn't in our control.

 All we can do is work hard, push ourselves to do the best we can and then wait for our future to unfold and give us what we never thought was possible!

Life as we know it.

 The term YOLO sounds so simple yet so particularly deep. Sure, we live only once but we also experience each day once which sounds bizarre considering we live every day in the same pattern.  Every day that we live, every minute that passes by never comes back almost like we’ll never relive today again even if tomorrow feels the same!   This makes me wonder how a small improvement to a 24 hour day can change the way we live it. I sometimes find myself pondering life. How it’s the perfect balance of consistency and inconsistency, how one decision made today can completely alter the route of your life the next day. It’s the perception of realizing that there are so many people in this world who we’ll never know, who will never have any impact on us or whose life we’ll never be a part of.   It’s the notion that no matter how slow or fast time flies, it’s always somehow moving forward and never stationary. It’s the awareness that happiness can be attained if we’r...

Stop trying to reach other people’s expectations.

  I consider myself to be an observant person and quite recently I started noticing how some people put in so much effort trying to please others that they often forget who they are in the process.   I’ve had a few friendships in the past where I used to do everything to keep that person in my life, to the point where I’d stop caring about my own feelings and some people took that as an opportunity to mold me into the person they wanted me to be. Granted, I was a kid back then...still am but I never thought it would actually have an effect on me until now.   It’s necessary to put in your effort to make friendships work but honestly, if you don’t see those efforts being reciprocated and appreciated, then it’s not long before everything falls apart.   I have a friend who recently had a fall out with someone she considered her best friend. And initially, everything felt okay but as the years passed she began to realize how it was always her constant efforts that ...

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 ...
