My guide to romanticizing life (and school) :
- bring a book and read whenever you can
- wear accessories and jewelry if you’re allowed
- bring a tote bag when you go out (keep you book in there)
- if you feel like the main character you’re doing it right (remember, most of the feel out of place too)
- playlists that fit your mood/vibe
- write a lot (journal, write on scrap paper, take class notes, etc) just write
- do things that make you feel (go watch the sun set/rise, look at stars, cloud watch, take a shower and blast music, go on a walk, go read in a library, cook/bake, etc) do things that make you happy and feel like something is happening
- wear cute outfits (or just something super comfortable. I promise you that you look so much better than you think you’re just not used to seeing you)
- wear light makeup if you’re allowed (mascara, eyeliner, blush, highlighter, lipgloss, etc) and if you can’t see if you can get something like clear mascara and lip balm. Even putting on chapstick can make you feel pretty
- if you like routines make one that makes you feel alive
- adventure (I love exploring, taking walks, going to the mall, the library, art galleries, museums, things like that). Idk about other galleries but the AGO is free admission for ages 25 and under
- prepare and plan the night before
- make Pinterest boards for what you want to attract into your life like you already have it (you do)
- eat lunch (and study) in the library or at a coffee shop. Alternatively, I like eating outside if the weather permits (or just walk around school hallways)
- study to classical music and light some candles
Romanticizing is all about pretending you have what you want. You can’t spend your whole life wishing you had/were something, you have to make it happen.
Believe you can and you’re halfway there
you remember that moment after you hand in a test, or you finally check off the huge thing on the to-do list? that feeling is coming. what you’re doing now is leading up to that feeling. you’ll make it. i know it.
02/2020 a time where I stayed half of it in South Korea and in Switzerland. 2020 started with a lot of hardship and it is slowly getting better. I hope things will brighten up more and I can fully focus in my studies without much worries.
What Am I Trying to Prove?
Someone recently asked me what I was trying to prove by working so hard. Me? I’m not trying to prove anything, I’m just trying to change the world. I’m studying, because I know that if I want to change something, then this is the way to get there.
You want to live in better circumstances then you are in now? Study. You want your children to grow up in a better situation than you had? Study. You want your parents to be proud of the person you’ve become? Study. You want to change the world, making it a better place for everyone who comes after you? Study. You want to be able to look back to your time as a young adult, and be proud of how hard you worked? Study.
Studying isn’t a chore. It isn’t something you have to do. No, studying is a privilege. It is empowerment. You have world-changing potential, and it can only be unlocked by studying. Not everyone has this opportunity. But you do, and it is up to you to use this moment wisely. Make the right decision, do the hard thing, and push your limits. You want the world to change? Then let’s do this.
