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’re pleased with all

Feelings ~ 5/9/23

Isn't life truly fascinating? It's remarkable how a single moment in a person's life can alter what seems predetermined as fate and destiny, yet in our eyes, it's merely a moment of interchangeable paths – that instance when life takes an unexpected yet incredibly beautiful turn. These are the moments that, once entered, leave us forever changed. Perhaps it's destiny gently guiding events towards a perfect ending. There's a yearning for home and belonging, even in places that no longer hold that feeling. Not because of sad events, but because moments evolve into cherished memories, and life has ushered us along a different path. These are the moments that beckon reflection. As you sit in that exact spot, in the same seat, you can't help but wonder how those moments have transformed into memories, sometimes overlooked as life's hustle takes center stage. Isn't it beautiful how one ordinary step on an average day, at the most ordinary time, can become

A writing discovery.

So I've been having difficulties coming up with a blog topic, then I figured why not talk about that? When I initially started writing, I had this idea in my head that the things I write should always have a purpose and be of an excellent caliber, but as time passed, I realized that wasn't always the case. Blogging does not always have to be about discussing things that need to be heard by the majority. To be realistic, it can be as straightforward as writing about your day. Blogging, in my perspective, is essentially open-access journaling.  We express our feelings simply by talking about them, and we receive a response that usually goes something like "I can absolutely empathize with this". There's something restorative about writing, even if it's about the most illogical of subjects.  It's the human connection we feel while discussing significant moments in our lives that might have a completely different impact on someone else depending on where that m
