Mindset

I keep preaching to work hard and follow your dreams,
yet my mindset has been the complete opposite lately. 
I’m sitting around in idleness, achieving absolutely nothing, 
thinking to myself, what’s happening to me?
It’s like I’m purposely choosing to trap myself in this cage, and if I fail? 
I’ll only have myself to blame.

I can’t bring myself to do anything when I’m in this state,
So when I preach to others,I feel so fake.
I’ve gotten used to this feeling, I’ve become comfortable,
I’ve lost count of the days,
It’s all become one long stream of consciousness 
where everyday feels the same.
No routine, no stability - lately, there hasn’t even been a plan A.
Just sleeping, doing nothing and wasting the time away.
I’ve become the person I hate. 
Feeling all sense of hopelessness, 
constantly making the same mistakes again, and again, and again.

My mind has gone blank, I've lost ambition, 
and it just becomes harder and harder to feel inspired,
I guess I could just put my makeup on and pretend like everything’s fine,
but truth is, I’ve never really been a good liar.

So instead I'll hide away from the world - ashamed to show people my face.
beat myself up over the fact that I’ve literally achieved nothing these past couple of days. 
I wish I can wake up and just switch from this phase 
become motivated overnight and start to revise and create. 

It’s so frustrating when my mind doesn’t seem to want to work that way, 
I’ve become so negative and I’m tired of it, 
The only way out is forcing myself to change.

Results Day

Today is results day... Today is the day where I discover my long-awaited fate. Am I going to fail and regret every decision I’ve ever made? or am I going to pass , in which case I’m destined to be okay, or at least that’s what people say.   That’s on the condition that I go on to do well at the next stage Yet why must my life be a continuous series of tests and games? I’ve been absolutely dreading this day,   I can feel my heart beating out of my chest just pleading for this moment to go away.   Knowing that people are going to ask me what I’ve got is something I cannot face.   The pressure to do well hangs over me like a dead weight. What will people say? What if I’m the only one who fails and everyone else does great? It seems that we’re put under so much pressure at a young age   Expected to know what we want to do with our lives, make the right choices, get the best grades.   And expected to somehow, come out of it all okay. We’...

BLIND

I don't hate you, Because I still love you. I can't look at you, Because it hurts to. We don't talk, Because there is nothing left to say. You apologized, but I still walked away. I'm leaving you and the thought of you behind, Because I just need to clear my mind. I'm angered because you wasted my time, Hurt because I believed you were mine, But I just didn't see the signs. I guess that's why they say love is blind,

2017:A year in review

I think it’s safe to say 2017 has been one the most turbulent, change-filled and character building years of my life. If you want an example of this, just take the fact that in the space of about 5 months I went from doing my exams, to leaving school, to starting university and moving out of my home- then leaving university, moving home again, and finally getting a full time job .It was all chaos and I barely had time to think about what was actually going on. But I’ve actually loved this year despite all the drama, and the stress. I managed to pass my driving test and get AABB in my A-level results, as well as get offers from all my universities and get the all the jobs I applied for being home.  I am proud of all I have achieved this year. My success has empowered me, giving me a little more, much needed, self-belief that I can do and be anything if I try hard enough. Moreover, I have met some incredible new people –from my fantastic flatmates at university who kept me ...
