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.

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 ...

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 timi...
