My workload is getting heavier, my days longer and more depressing.
Because, A levels are that much of a burden and 3 more months seem like a point of time in my life that will never materialise. That.makes.me.sad):
And then, my age and position in life makes me go…
WOW.
I’M
EIGHT-FREAKING-TEEN.
So what exactly have I accomplished in life?
What have I done in the past 2 years that are worth mentioning? You know, sometimes I feel like I’ve allowed time to trickle through the gaps between my fingers.
I reminisce about the past. On the bus on the way back from school, when I’m bored in tutorials, when its late past midnight and I can’t make myself go to sleep. Sometimes I think about every possible way that I could have changed a point in my life, made something different, some life changing decision.
I’ve made mistakes. I have let the important people in my life slip by. I lose the things that occupy a huge part of who I am.
I wish that maybe I could be a bit more generous with my time, my love, my -whatever that I have- so that it becomes a sort of anti-venom to the bitterness of never ever receiving enough.
I wish I was not so dependent on people. I wish solitude was a bit less frightening for me because it invites me to meet the stranger I’ve been dying to avoid.
And then ironically I wish I could stop pushing people away. I wish I could stop saying ‘I can handle this’ because most of the time I can’t. I wish I could be brave enough to show that I am afraid.
I wish I could stop reading so much into things.
I wish I could just see things the way they are meant to be.
I wish
I wish
I wish I could live a more fulfilling life, go to better places, be a better person.
I love that feeling. The one where you take a deep breath in and just KNOW that everything will be alright. That everything is just going to turn out fine. Where even though everything looks hopeless and dismal, your just KNOW it’ll be fine in the end because its just going to be. Like maybe the world would stop spinning so fast and everything seems crystal. Like how things will run the way you wanted it to and people say the things you want to hear. I need more moments like this. I need plain, hard confirmations because I hate living in uncertainty. I hate that feeling of dread when I’m caught in-between grey areas.
But we all know that is so far-fetched. We know that people don’t chase that kind of dream anymore.
We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is hope. Hope for the best.
Even if hope was the best liar on Earth.
I guess we would just have to believe her.
Confess your hidden faults,
Approach what you find repulsive.
Anything you are attached to, let it go.
Go to places that scare you.
