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 timing is usually always perfect, even though we might not see that in the midst of it.

  I sometimes wonder what it would be like, had I not met them?
I would have missed out on some really amazing people. On the other hand, what it would be like had I met them at a time that wasn't right? Or maybe trying to force the friendship? Maybe we wouldn't have felt that connection at all and we'd still be strangers today!

 What I'm trying to say is that we should really stop trying to do things perfectly, stop planning everything out from the beginning to the end and just take the time and moment we have right now, making it perfect and memorable.

  Let's just try to focus on the 24hours we have and make the most of it, the rest will all fall into place at the right time.

    I totally agree with this. Things really do happen for a reason. I remembered crying so much when I decided to move to a place I've never been to. I thought I'll never enjoy the place and the people as well but turned out that, it's one of the best decisions ever. I've met some of the best and truest people whom I can proudly call as my dearest life-long friends. Yes, we never had the perfect "friend-relationship" but at the end of the day, we always have each other's back ☺️

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 ...

There's always more to the story.

  Quite often, I observe a lot of people struggling to achieve something great, something that will change the way they live their normal ordinary lives, something that will change the way others think about them. Usually, the outcomes vary but it always ends up benefitting them in ways they couldn't have imagined.   These days, the idea of success is based on how huge the outcome is in no relevance to the input. Most of us assume that we're only successful if we've achieved what we've been working so hard for but it's not all about the end result. Every step we take towards something we're passionate about, big or small is an achievement. It could be something as little as getting out of bed when you thought you couldn't or as big as accomplishing your monthly or yearly goals.   Often times, it becomes a task to even consider the small failures as something that help build our success story because we're convinced that success has to be this pictur...

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...
