Disclaimer: this post has nothing to do with eyebrows
I haven’t posted in a while, I think It’s expected now anyway- Y'all know I’m a slacker for this blog. But for real, my university has been sucker-punching me in every direction, this entire week has been a procrastination marathon. With a multitude of assignments due in a week from now and exams - SWOTVAC right around the corner, you shouldn’t even be reading this, to be honest - I shouldn’t be writing this right now either.
But sometimes priorities change and a simple task of venting/reading can unclog all that gunk from our minds, fingers crossed for this writer's block I’m going through at the moment too.
I've been thinking a lot recently, mainly about how nearly twenty-one years of my life has just flown by without me realising. I keep wondering about what I've achieved so far and more importantly what my future holds for me. As a student, sure I go to uni three days a week, work twice a week without the slightest hesitation - but when do I give myself time to reflect on where I'm at right now?
I don't think most of us do. Activities like yoga or meditation help us reach that reflective state, and I desperately want to reach to experience that peace of mind.
I think I'm at a stage where I know I don't need the things I used to think I did. New clothes, shoes, jewellery - they're not as visually appetising as they used to be. Before my *stuff* held such an important place in my life, I really can't believe I was that blindsided in the past. But I guess that's what growth is all about, I thought wearing pigtails to school in the sixth grade was cute - now I know better.
I just know there's more to life than waking up, going to uni and work - coming back home, watching chick flicks then sleeping. There's a reason we're all alive today, I marvel at the fact our hearts beat 24/7 an electrical pulse jolting our hearts every second of our lives. Maybe I'm just being poetic, but I know there's more to life than what's on the surface. I hope we figure it out together x
