Just keep going


 Today was a really draining day for everybody including me. So most of my friends got their October/November exam results and they were disappointed, to say the least.

 It was heartbreaking to see how grades affect our mood. We were all having a pretty good day until one of the teachers came in to tell the results leaving everybody shocked and disheartened.

 The fact that most of them worked so incredibly hard to get good grades but ended up with unsatisfying results and negative comments made me realize how small progress is never appreciated.

 I get that there is always room for improvement, but if the small progress you make goes unnoticed by everyone, it makes it really difficult to pick yourself up and keep going.

 You're not always going to ace your exams, nor will you always keep failing them but honestly I wish people started realizing that they're so much more than what they get on a test and how their performance at school doesn't necessarily determine their success in "life". 

 I've seen people getting average scores their entire school life and achieving a lot more than people who aced all their exams. Yeah getting an A is great, but it's time we start appreciating the people who've failed tests but kept at it until they got a better grade and kept going even after that.

People deserve to be appreciated from time to time and we should really start looking out for each other because that's the only way things get better.

And I've started to realize life doesn't stop after getting one bad grade even if it feels like it might. The situation will turn around one day and you'll be glad you pushed yourself and made it all the way to the end. To anyone who needs to hear this today, you've got this and it's going to get so much better, we just need to keep going.

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 ...
