Writing and Woes

“ Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there's only today. The truth is, you never really know.” ― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall What would you do if today was your last day? Would you be happy with how you spent it if it was to be your last? We constantly assume that we will have another day. But each day is a gift, and one that some people do not get. With the increased suffering and pain of people in the world, I find it hard to simply take for granted, and wish away , the gift of another day that I have been given. I wish to be caught up in the moment of the present; not constantly spending my time in the memories of the past. If I didn’t get a second attempt tomorrow, I want to make sure that I made every second c...

Our last day is finally here, And so now ends our Final Year. We'll always remember, the friends we hold dear, But can now look to the future without any fear. It’s the day we’ve been preparing   for, Since   we walked through the   door. But, now it's finally time to say our good-byes. So, today, shed a tear and share a smile, But, be sure to remember all the while, That although it may   be time to pack up and move on, Today's memories will last our whole lives long.

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 ha...

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others, It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important, Only you know what is best for you. Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless. Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Don’t give up when you still have something to give Nothing is really over … until the moment you stop trying. Don’t be afraid to encounter risks, It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Don’t dismiss your Dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose. Don’t run through life so fast that you forget where you’ve been, But also know where you’re going. ...

There is inside you All of the potential To be whatever you want to be; All of the energy To do whatever you want to do. Imagine yourself as you would like to be, Doing what you want to do, And each day, take one step Towards your dream. And though at times it may seem too difficult to continue, Hold on to your dream. One morning you will awake to find That you are the person you dreamed of, Doing what you wanted to do, Simply because you had the courage To believe in your potential And to hold on to your dream.

Let me guess, the world’s not fair and it’s against you, Go on then, give up like you always do, mope around feeling sorry for yourself, What’s the matter? Can’t handle the truth? Would you like me to sugar coat it for you? Tell you that everything’s going to be fine   and come up with some easy excuse? Well I’m not going to,   Because life’s not easy and you’re not a fool. You keep acting like the victim, Constantly saying how things aren’t going your way when, the choice has always been right there in front of you. You’ve got the tools, A working brain, a functioning body   So get a grip and stop acting like you haven’t got a clue Yes, “Life’s not fair”, and things aren’t always going to go your way, tell me something new. I hate to break it to you, but the world isn’t gonna be laid out nicely in front of you.   The biggest mistake is believing that you don’t have control over your life, That it’s not a choice, when that couldn’t be furthe...

How are you? Three simple words. Infinite answers. What answer do you wish to hear today? Do you   want to hear about my pain, the heaviness, thoughts and fears that I keep? Do you   wish to know about my web of secrets and lies that are tearing me apart inside? What about the self-harm or the suicidal thoughts? Do you want to know how alone I feel and how many nights I have cried myself to sleep this week? And do you want to know for   you , to help   me , or to simply have something to   talk about at  your next meal? Think carefully. Don’t want to know? No,   I didn't think so. So I guess I'm   fine   thank you, how are you?
