I want you to know


   On this sunny October day I want you to know that life is never perfect, but it's always beautiful.
   That it goes on no matter how hard the journey might seem. You'll need your friends to ease that up, but you can make it.
    That you always have options. Even when you think you don't.
   That people don't change, their needs do. And sometimes there's nothing you can do to make them happy anymore. But that only means your job there is done and you have to go somewhere else and make other people happy.
   That when you're sure something will happen, life takes you by surprise and you have to move on with it... or you'll be left behind. 
   That things never last for a lifetime but they can be fixed. Or replaced.
   That people want you to listen and you want them to listen as well. Do that by taking turns or you'll end up in a mess you created yourself.
   That great effort is always rewarded. If not by others at least by yourself. You'll feel awesome!
   That you'll want your days to be longer but they'll always seem too short. Pick whatever will help you say "What an awesome day!" when you go to sleep.
   That you won't understand everything that happens to you. But you don't have to. Accept everything that comes in your life. There will be times when you'll be frustrated, but remember, there's a lesson for you at every corner.
    That you can always find a reason to be grateful. You just have to close your eyes and think.
   That there are hundreds or thousands of books written exactly for you that are waiting to be discovered. Look for them and they'll reveal themselves to you.
   That lost time doesn't come back so think about leaving something behind. Memories, photos, diaries. Record your life somewhere. You'll be thankful to rediscover it in some years.
   That money don't bring happiness. It's all in your head. You can craft or recycle instead of buying. Just use your imagination.
   That people need to be reminded how important they are to you. So let them know. 
   That if you want something, want it badly and it will come true. Be careful what you wish for, though. 
   That fear, guilt and anger will only bring bad consequences. Be at peace with yourself and with others. 
    That life is worth being explored, enjoyed, lived to the fullest. So do it! Do it now!:)

Day 323. Different yet so alike


   People are funny when it comes to studying for an exam. Nobody likes to study but we all find something to make us do it after all.
   Some start early because they want to make sure they make it to the deadline and they're very organized when it comes to setting goals and achieving them. They're the ones who, somehow, find something to like in everything they study and so they're usually the bullied ones. The ones who spend their days studying their heads off and end up saying "why am I the only one studying?" However, after the exam, we all know they take the highest grades. And believe me, sometimes grades do make a difference in our life.
   Others start at some random point when they feel it's the right time or maybe when they are reminded they have an upcoming exam. They're not really driven to study, but they do it anyway because afterwards they'll get some sort of reward. These are the majority of the people. If they were in the right spot (school, university, work place of their choice) they'd like what they would be doing so they'd study early. Nevertheless, it's a good thing they find something to keep them going.
   The last category starts studying a couple of days before the actual exam when they realize they can't procrastinate anymore. They say they don't want to forget what they just studied but we all know that's a lie. They are the ones who start studying only because they know they have to. They hate it and so they try to cram it up and hope to God they'll be given one of the two subjects they took a glimpse at. Sometimes they're lucky, other times they're not.
   The thing is that right before the exam we all magically remember we don't like studying and therefore only two options will be available for everybody: we either feel like we don't know anything or we don't care anymore and we just want it to be over so we could start enjoying our life again.
   I know, I shouldn't complain since I love what I'm doing and I sometimes enjoy what I'm reading for the exam, but you know, we all get there. To the point where we say "No more!" And that's when people who have studied for 2 months take a break and do whatever they want because they can afford it and then they face the exam knowing they'll handle it no matter what. I know. It's gonna be ok. So tomorrow I'm taking a break:)
