2015

So. It's a new year, and with New Years come new resolutions. This year, I'm going to be more like a star. Whether you see stars or not, they're always gonna be there, no matter the amount of pollution in the sky. They give warmth and light for millions of years, and even after they die out, their light shines for millions of years after. They are a beacon of life, a safe haven of warmth. Get too close and they'll fry you (but let's try not to be like that, haha). So. Be there for everyone, whether or not in that moment they see you there. Smile. Live life to the fullest, knowing that even after you're long gone, you'll still inspire people to carry on forward. Be that beacon of light, that safe haven of warmth and comfort. Shine bright this year and every year after, because you are worth it and they are worth it and you know it. Be that star you see.

Stage fright-being nervous

Stage Fright. We all had it and we all hated it. Stage fright is a common problem (Oh god, i am starting to sound like a parent! HELP) better known under... being nervous! Im not going to tell you the secret against it, because I don't know it. I wish I did though. I have a huge french presentation, it was moved twice now..., and my french is horrible (insert terrible french accent here): I am shitting my pants. I am so nervous. I have the feeling everyone is better than me, and that I am going to fail.

The problem is that I have braces so I already speak unclear (NO OFFENCE TO BRACE-WEARING PEOPLE) and in french... oh god help me. So, I thought, practise makes perfect and practised about an hour... a 5 minute long presentation. That thought was wrong. My mouth was all watery, my lips dry and I couldn't speak any english, not to mention french. 

But all this worry was, I hope, for nothing. I practised enough: I know my presentation by heart. The point is that we should not worry. We (I hate YOLO too, I am sorry) only live once so we should not worry, but be happy. Yeah, I know, this is easier said than done. But promise me: the next time you worry, instead be happy. Just stop, breathe, look at the problem CIVILISED, and smile. Smile.

Except if you are the last idiot of the class who never does their homework and fails every class. THEN WORRY, but SMILE while worrying!
