Capturing the right moment.

I consider myself to be a nostalgic person. One of my favorite things to do is make videos of the most basic and random moments and reminisce on them later on.

I was scrolling through my Instagram feed the other day and came across an ad of an app called ”one second every day” and it basically lets you make 1-second videos of any moment you wanna capture and later turns it into a movie which for some people like me is one of the best ways to reflect back on those moments.

Back in 2016, I was a die-hard fan of making slideshows with all the pictures taken on special occasions like birthdays and end of summer breaks.

I never realized how one day, years later I would look back to those videos only to feel waves of nostalgia looming over me but also feeling incredibly happy for taking the time out to make them! I guess that’s exactly when my obsession began and if I’m being honest, it’s a bittersweet feeling.

I remember one particular video I made at school. My friends and I were getting our measurements taken for the graduation caps and gowns. We mentioned how years later we’ll probably find this video, maybe while making plans with new friends in a new place and remember exactly what we felt that day. The feeling of joy thinking about finally graduating but also despair for leaving the people we made great memovies with.

So the one thing I really am focusing on this year is making one of the best 1- second videos I can think of! From randomly scaring people to making sure I capture the endless laughing sessions with my friends, I hope it’s one of the most nostalgic videos I’ve ever seen!

I’m also obsessed with clouds and pretty sunsets🌟

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 ...

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 ...

Early Morning blogpost!

Since my morning classes start around 8 am, I thought I’d write a post before leaving. This post is actually just about my morning routine and how my usual day goes by. As I’m an early bird, it’s usually a routine to wake up around 5 am on a weekday, also because I hate being rushed to do things early morning. So my day usually starts pretty early and the first thing I do right after I wake up is to drink a warm glass of lemon water. To be honest, I initially didn't like lemon water because of its taste. But after noticing the differences in my skin and overall looking more hydrated, it became part of my morning routine. Then it’s a pretty average day from there, attending all my classes and meeting up with my friends. The one thing I love about my school is their taste in tea! They serve the best warm tea I’ve ever had and that’s something we always look forward to and it helps keep our sanity throughout the day. Tea and doughnuts are basi...
