I Kinda Miss School

Oh no, my appetite for destruction and terror is making me hungry.

The biggest mistake you can make in life is to waste your time.

School Is A Fun But Temporary Experience

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with school but I mostly love it.

Do you love school? Would love to know it in the comments.

I mean, for me, I kinda like school. I think it’s important for society. (if only if its doing it’s job right but whatever)

School is awesome, you go out there and make friends, learn subjects, do fun activities, talk with that girl or boy. It’s like living in another reality. I don’t know,

there is just that weird, fantasy-like feeling when you are in your school phase, at least that’s how I’m feeling.

Now, I used to hate school more back then when I was a kid.

But as I grew, I realize how precious school is for our life. It may be dumb and stupid and a waste of time most of the time, but I start to realize that school will not last long in my life.

School is a temporary experience.

That weird moment when you hated something when you were young and then realize that those moments is temporary and all you did is just waste it.

Instead of using it to have fun and learn with other kids who were at my age, I just fell and act like this is nothing.

This realization startled me and scared the fuck out of me. Like, All my life in school has been wasted because I was shy and hated school? What a damn deed indead. (damn, those rhymes)

The Rainbow

After this Corona Virus lockdown shenanigans ends, I am gonna be in Grade 11.

I’m 16 year old as I’m writing this and I’m about to be 17 in September 1.

I will focus on enjoying more of school and making sure that my time there will not go to waste this time, and I am so grateful to have more years of school to come while I’m young and healthy.

But hey, you gotta go through the negative to get the positive, right?

You need a bit of rain to get a rainbow.

Those moments of scary realization as you grow older, those are wisdom. That’s a strength.

You look at life differently now, a different perspective on things, a much more powerful person than ever before. You’re now able to live life to the fullest and share your learnings and wisdom to other people.

I just call it the “Human Experience”, that’s normal and that’s what makes life beautiful. (it’s only beautiful if you look at it at the your angle)

Listen to your scary realizations, listen to your pain, listen to your fears, listen to your problems, listen to your negative thoughts.

Listen to them and tell them ‘thank you for being here, without you, I wouldn’t be a better and stronger person without you.”

Phew, that was a therapy. Thanks for reading this, I truly appreciate it.
