My favorite embarrassing moment to recall.

I’m sure we've all had moments we’re too embarrassed to talk about.
Although this particular moment isn't the most embarrassing one I’ve had, it definitely adds to the list!

So this happened back in grade 9 in the month of December and I know it was December because of the chilly weather and heavy rainfall. It was during lunch break when my friends and I were enjoying our short walk to the medical room because one of my friends wasn’t feeling too well. Little did I know that short walk would land me in the medical room as well!

As I previously mentioned it was a rainy day which meant the ground was pretty slippery and my 13-year-old self thought it would be ”fun” to jump around a bit. Of course, my friend had to take advantage of my vulnerable state and pushed me causing me to lose balance and fall directly on my elbow which to be honest is a weird yet amusing way to fall...right? Did I mention it was lunchtime? Meaning all the teachers, juniors and seniors were walking around!

As you’d expect, I caught pretty much everyone’s attention and no one bothered to hold back their laughter...or help me up...or even ask me if I’m okay! So I did what I thought would make things less awkward and joined in on the laughter while silently hissing at the unbearable pain. It felt like my arm had completely come off! Meanwhile, my friends couldn’t stop laughing but eventually walked me to the medical room.

I spent the remaining of that day avoiding the use of my right arm which was a good excuse to skip on a few classes so maybe this experience wasn’t that horrible? The funny part is I didn't walk on wet grounds with my friends for a solid 2 months after that!

Even though it was an embarrassing moment I can't help but laugh at how I still remember every part of it! Feels like it happened just yesterday.

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 ...
