I am who I am; no more, no less. @beneaththelonelymountain - Tumblr Blog

Have you ever had one of those moments in life where everything falls into place? Today was one of those moments. I took a step back and looked at everything I have in my life. My husband, house, pets, job, degrees, accomplishments, and all that stuff. Like damn, I did that. I worked my ass off and earned all of this. Some days are a struggle, and I feel overwhelmed but I just have to remember that I’m here and I’m only 22.

I never get on here anymore, I’ve taken quite the hiatus. Maybe I’ll be back, maybe not. I’m so busy with school, work, marriage, and managing a household and pets. It’s been real, Tumblr.

I had this girl in my class and she was considered to be like really dumb. She’d ask a ton of doubts and questions in class, which everybody would consider to be “stupid"and “silly” and even the teachers would often taunt her but she’d never stop asking. But the thing was that she’d almost always top the class examinations and everyone was like???? They all thought she was cheating and stuff and obviously even the teachers were very biased because she wasn’t so ‘smart’ in class, and she was regularly accused of cheating. But nobody could prove that she was actually cheating but the whole class and teachers totally believed that she did. I’m pretty socially awkward so I never really talked to her, but she was leaving school this year and I was genuinely curious about how she was so good during exams and how she didn’t let everyone’s remarks affect her. She always used to sit and hang out with only one girl, and she told me that that friend of hers was severely socially anxious and she’d lag in studies because she couldn’t bring herself to ask doubts in class or ask for help from others. So they had this system where during lectures her friend would write down any question she had, and she would ask them for her. And I was just so touched??? Idk but it really changed the way I looked at people?? This girl endured taunts and jeers and borderline bullying for being “stupid” when she was actually really smart and could easily have refused to ask such doubts for her friend but she did?? And brushed off everything others would throw at her for her friend?? I was just, idk it just really changed me in some way.
