Perseverance

Its been week two since school started and I think everyday has been a learning experience in itself. I realize there's so much more to life than just academic learning, learning can happen in so many other ways as well. For someone who's taken the science stream for her whole life, im used to things with fixed answers and seeing things in black and white. But I think recent developments has taught me that there's a whole spectrum of inbetween and that discomforts me. As you grow up, rarely anything is black and white anymore isn't it?

People always say they want to be better people, but for this semester, this will really be my goal. To be a better person. I know it sounds vague but from time to time i've ran into people that have really inspired me? I feel like there are many people with many good qualities but the ones i respect the most are those that are able to maintain a happy and cheerful deposition when times are tough and its all too easy to just give in and be overwhelmed. These people stay strong (yes stay strong sounds so cliche) even in times when its too easy to resort to despondency. These are the people that I want to be like-- cheerful with a positive outlook, the people that always believe the best of others. I feel like I haven't been the best person to hang out with for the first week of school, letting all the stress, uncertainty and negativity get to me. But its alright cause all that is gonna change!!!

Maybe I shouldn't take things so seriously and try to have such a tight grip on everything (back to the black and white thing) and just roll with the punches and take things as they come aka not be such a worrywart, I mean, if its meant to be then it will be right? So basically loosening up a lil.

Somehow rather after typing this i feel so much better
