How often in a day are we allowed to lose our shit? 

What exactly consititutes the appropriate situation which our shit may be lost?

Are we allowed to want to give up?

Are we weaklings if we do?

I wonder if it’s a blessing or a curse to feel things so deeply.

What does “But I feel like we’re in different places a bit emotionally” mean? I don’t know if you know, but I’m all in. I was so ready to give up a lot to defend you. I’m playing for keeps. No. You know what? I’m not eve playing. I’m FIGHTING for keeps.

I'm not sure about you, but unfortunately I am the kind of person that will learn something from my own experiences and mistakes, even if I've been warned about it. 'Enjoy the year while you can, it goes by so quickly and you will never get it back,' someone tells me. 'Yeah right,' I think to myself. Look at me now, we are already in April and at the end of the recess and my face looks exactly like the emoji that only has eyes and no mouth. Although this is a mild example of the point I'm trying to make, sometimes it is difficult to experience things and only find out why afterwards. It sucks not knowing why that relationship didn't work out, why you didn't get those marks even though you feel as if you worked your butt off, or why that best friend walked so suddenly out of your life without a glance back. These things will make sense... eventually. Experience is the only way to grow and mature as a person. So for now, laugh, cry, live your life, be smart and have no regrets. One day it was all make sense.

"Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier" ~ Charles Kettering

Unfortunately, our summer/autumn recess is almost up, and we have to start getting back into the grind of things- school, varsity, work, LIFE.... so there is no other way to deal with it than to have an open mind about it. The sooner we accept the inevitable, the easier it will be to handle. Doors open for those to choose to face the challenge, not run from it.

Being part of the society of our modern world is nothing short of challenging. Everywhere we go there is someone telling us we can't reach it, in everything we do there is someone telling us we won't achieve it, and with everything we say, there is someone telling us to shut it. I know for us, the youth, we are too young to have experience and too naïve to know what to do about it. So, in my inexpert opinion, glorious inexperience and charming naiveté, I have two words. Keep Hustling.

We've spent too much time with people who try to teach us what life should be like based on absurd standards that even they can't reach. Why has nobody taught us how to enjoy what we have, or how to love ourselves for that matter? Enjoy who you are and what you have. It's your life and not anyone else's.

It takes nothing just to perform a kind gesture for someone else. A person in my class complimented me on my hair and although I'm sure she doesn't think anything of it now, I am still humbled by her kind words that day. Our words have the potential to uplift or destroy people. What will yours do?

It's so much easier to walk away in the face of a difficult situation. We haven't been taught to fight the challenge- we run from it. Now is the time for us to rise up and stare the challenge in the face. If it's blood it wants, then it's blood its gonna get.

I think I’m just really tired

Of waiting

Waiting for the kettle to boil

Waiting for the next day

Waiting for that all important email

Waiting for the world to change 

Waiting for him

Every moment that passes 

Where I am still waiting 

At the end of the first quarter of varsity (YAAAAASSSS) I have come to realise one thing.
