My oldest friend


  It’s been a while since I last posted mainly because of exams week that ended just yesterday! I feel like I can breathe again. The one thing I looked forward to after a long day of studying was getting to talk to my best friend. It’s crazy how ranting about your stress automatically reduces it.

 It got me thinking about how long we’ve been in each other's lives. I still remember the first day of kindergarten, walking into my classroom and sitting next to her. She was playing with her eraser when I sat down beside her and said hi, that’s actually how we became friends!

 I don’t really remember much but we had this instant connection that, to this day hasn’t died. We’d spend all day talking at school only to continue our conversation at home. I mean what do kindergarteners even talk about? Cartoons? Our favorite foods or subjects? That’s actually an adorable level of innocence.

 Honestly, it’s funny how we had this specific timing for our 2-hour phone calls that was always something we looked forward to even if we had nothing to talk about. There were times I’d call her up and literally just continue doing my homework without engaging in any conversation.

 One particular memory I have is calling her up a day before our math exam back in grade 5 only to tell her I didn't feel like studying and we ended up talking about everything other than our exam.

 Now that I look back to this friendship I still can’t believe we’re in each other's lives even after she moved to another country. Granted, we don't talk every day but when we do, it’s like nothing changed and we pick up right where we left off and I can't help but feel thankful that this is how it all turned out!

 We’ve been through many ups and downs but still manage to get past them which doesn’t happen much. There really is something beautiful about childhood friends that grow up together!

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 ...
