Stress

School is really stressful

But a lot of the time, it is my fault for getting distracted by messages from my friends, a funny picture online or the absolute urgent need to clean out my mailbox (it’s not that urgent). 

I will organise myself better, I say every day. I won't. Well, I might. But I won't.

Then again, I am getting better. And it’s nice to see that everything is sort of going ok, because putting in hard work is paying off. That is, when I do put in the hard work. Which isn't always. But it’s sometimes. And it’s really, really good when I do do it.

Black Box

It’s a black box. It doesn’t look like anything special, because its small and made out of cardboard and has a huge dent in the middle from when I tripped and sat on it. I remember freaking out over it, trying, and failing, to get the dent out. I eventually had to give up and pat the box forlornly.

It has so much in it though. It has memories. My ID card from the first year of high school, messages I’ve received that meant a lot, drawings I did, my first ever toy, notes passed in class with my friends on the backs of receipts. It’s nothing special. Black boxes rarely are. But this one is. Because it’s mine.
