12/12 // I’m Very Proud Of Myself Today. Woke Up Early And Went To Uni And Studied For Seven Hours!

My semester starts from tomorrow *sigh*. Three more months of working & working & working.

you know, life doesn’t have to be competitive. you don’t have to get in the very best university; you don’t have to get the highest paying career there is. you don’t need to compare and compete with everyone else in the world. you need to do what’s right for you. you need to relax, take a breath, and say ‘what do i want, for myself, to live as i want to’. and, if that involves high ambitions, then that’s fine. because you chose those ambitions on what you desire as an individual, and not on what is expected in order to succeed. let’s be ourselves this year.

people are allowed to leave you. people are allowed to break up with you. people are allowed to love you but not want to be with you. people are allowed to not want to talk to you. people are allowed to put their happiness before yours and do what makes them happy even if it does not include you. people are allowed to move on from you. people are allowed to fall in love with someone else. people are allowed to not want you in their life. people are allowed to do whatever they want to better themselves and become the version of themselves they are trying so hard to love. don’t be bitter towards someone who is only trying to be happy.

merry crisis everyone

And a happy new fear

Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery, and reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful and ultimately happy life.

I’ve survived a lot of things, and I’ll probably survive this.

I repost this every time it comes up on my dash. Because I need this reminder several times a day.

It’s not “uncool” to be smart and prepared and passionate and dedicated. Ignore people who say otherwise.

Working hard at my paper. This is how my weekend went. #studygram #studyblr #studymotivation #college https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqmqg0aFXEf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n2938k3n5tkf

These moments.

There comes a time in your life when you have to make a decision. Choose one path to walk on, as they say. Well let me tell you, these are the hardest moments. Not only do you have to think about what you want but what others want you to want. People will tell you loads of things. What is cool & uncool. What is beautiful and ugly. What is right and wrong. But you have to block out all that noise. You have to try & find that quiet place, where you can take your decisions yourself. Where you can think about who means well. Take a deep breath & find that quiet place. Think carefully. Because this decision, is going to change your universe.
