New Year feels!



 Happy New Year guys! Hopefully, this year acts as a stepping stone to success for all of us. I hope we achieve everything we set our minds to and stop doubting ourselves, fearing failure and instead pick ourselves up after the worst of times and keep going.

 I see people making all sorts of resolutions, which I think is great because it shows how we're willing to bring change in our lives. Even though I don't make resolutions, the one thing I want to do this year is to prioritize myself in every situation.

 I've always been the kind of person that gives too much. Too much time, effort, attention and the list goes on.

 It's great to give your all to people who deserve it, who're genuine but that doesn't mean allowing them to walk all over you and take advantage of your kindness.

I was talking to my friend the other day and she said how I shouldn't always justify the way I do things. If what I do makes me feel satisfied, then I'm doing it right and shouldn't feel the need to rationalize, because when other people see that doubtful side, they use it against you and make you feel like you're the wrong one.

 I used to believe that until recently, I finally opened my eyes and stepped out of the denial phase and accepted the fact that some people really are toxic and will probably never change.

 It's not selfish to put yourself first as this is a form of self-care.

Taking time off for yourself, skipping out on events just because you don't feel like it, watching movies all day long, is all okay and we shouldn't try to justify any of it. Everyone deserves "me" time and you should gladly take it whenever you feel it's necessary.

 And so, this year I'm planning to do exactly that. I'll put myself first, always do things that make me feel joyful and most importantly, cut off all the toxicity from my life.

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 ...

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...

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 ...
