I haven't been posting much at all recently, only because I haven't been feeling myself lately. But sometimes that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Ever pause to realise how much you've changed? There are some days I'm overwhelmed with emotion, the girl I once knew has perished. A new woman is before this mirror of mine waiting to seize the day.

Renewal is only natural. In this present moment we're all evolving with such speed and such ferocity - every detail is a blur.

That beautiful phrase - "stop and smell the roses" reminds me of this. It reminds me that we're all in this fast-paced race, our attention is always on what is to come. Whether that be dinner or the next assignment to feat.

Change is never a bad thing, we don't just need to evolve... we rely on it.

Accept your changes, transform into the person you want your children to be one day. Place everything into perspective, every detail is always worth a second glance.

I know it's the oldest lesson in the book, but is having it all really account for anything?

I used to think stuff could make me happy, food could make me happy, a relationship could paint a smile on my face; but it turned out none of those things have, did or ever could.

Some might think it selfish to focus on oneself in this situation but honey, you enter this world alone and you will die alone. People will fill that middle chunk of your life and paint colourful whispers of ink on your canvas.

But In the end, it's just you. Learn, try to be the best person you can, I'll post for the rest of my life - blog and advise until my fingers bleed but not one word will make a difference unless I believe every letter, every word that I type. So I start with me, because I know I'm a wreck, I know I know little to nothing about everything, I know how weak I can become - so I work on myself.

Just me, because figuring yourself out is the first step to literally anything - most of all influencing the people you know, you love for the better.

I haven’t posted in a while, I think It’s expected now anyway- Y'all know I’m a slacker for this blog. But for real, my university has been sucker-punching me in every direction, this entire week has been a procrastination marathon. With a multitude of assignments due in a week from now and exams - SWOTVAC right around the corner, you shouldn’t even be reading this, to be honest - I shouldn’t be writing this right now either.

But sometimes priorities change and a simple task of venting/reading can unclog all that gunk from our minds, fingers crossed for this writer's block I’m going through at the moment too.

I've been thinking a lot recently, mainly about how nearly twenty-one years of my life has just flown by without me realising. I keep wondering about what I've achieved so far and more importantly what my future holds for me. As a student, sure I go to uni three days a week, work twice a week without the slightest hesitation - but when do I give myself time to reflect on where I'm at right now?

I don't think most of us do. Activities like yoga or meditation help us reach that reflective state, and I desperately want to reach to experience that peace of mind.

I think I'm at a stage where I know I don't need the things I used to think I did. New clothes, shoes, jewellery - they're not as visually appetising as they used to be. Before my *stuff* held such an important place in my life, I really can't believe I was that blindsided in the past. But I guess that's what growth is all about, I thought wearing pigtails to school in the sixth grade was cute - now I know better.
