The modern-day world.

What’s the one word we’d use to describe the world we live in today? Will we use terms that make this world sound fascinating and progressive? Or will we take a brief moment and consider all the crises that are currently happening? If someone were to ask us for a brief description of what it’s like living in this modern time, how would we respond? Will we explain to them the endless ways this world brings prosperity? Or will we talk about how humanity is so hard to restore?

In my opinion, this world is a place where good and bad is bound to happen. Whether we choose to be part of the good or bad is a decision we make every day. It’s the decision that builds us up and prepares us for what our future looks like, don’t you think?

The world can be a beautiful place if there’s more good than bad, more love than hate, more strength rather than weakness, more unity rather than division. But with everything that’s happening these days, it’s hard to picture compassion and tolerance.

If I were to describe what this world feels like today, I’d say it feels divided. And this division accompanies us in our daily lives. Whether it’s a division of the rich and the poor, between a boss and the employees, between countries, between people of different castes but most importantly, the division between ethnicities.

It’s heartbreaking to see how differences between humans can cause bitterness and racism when these variations can encourage to bring people together. Why is it that people belonging to different ethnicities are judged based on irrelevant and bias propaganda? Why can’t we all learn to accept the differences and work towards making this world a promising and more secure place to live in? In the modern-day world, living freely has become almost impossible and it’s because of all the animosity that’s constantly spreading like wildfire.

It only gets better if we get better so expecting a world that’s civilized when the totality believes in putting people into categories and levels is like wanting the best out of a situation without working hard enough for it.

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 ...
