The Bad News

College admission tests, job interviews, contests, aptitude tests. Those are some things that makes our hearts beat for probably a million times a second because we're in conflict with ourselves. 

Did I pass?
What if I didn't? 
I think I failed.
I really hope I passed.
Atleast I did my best.

We're always afraid of the bad news, especially when it's in the matter of finally achieving our dream, thinking that you're THAT close to achieving it but there are still barricades left to get through. I have been there, and I know a lot of us had been in that situation, and maybe some are still in that situation as we speak, and all that's left for us to do is pray and believe in ourselves. We might find ways to distract ourselves from over-thinking because...remember this, OVER-THINKING KILLS. Not literally though, but it makes you just wanna delete all your feelings for a while until the result comes.

Thinking about the bad news is one of the worst feelings that you can ever feel and I know you want to escape that. And I have a method of my own to stop over-thinking. 

First of all, we must find a way that will stop us from thinking about the upcoming news, good or bad. Read a book, listen to music, have fun with your friends, do what you love, watch some tv, go out and watch a movie, have fun with the family, do your favourite sport, anything that can keep you from over-thinking.

Second, don't stress yourself. Over-thinking is torture. Have a peace of mind and relax. Think that everything happens for a reason, if things doesn't go your way then it means you deserve better. Sail new oceans and don't play it safe so much. Time to go out and discover new challenges. That's what life is all about.

And lastly, pray. Pray for guidance and the hope that you passed. Pray that good news will come. Praying makes you feel at ease. Believe me, it works.

Good news, bad news, they are all a part of life and bad news means just another door closing. But there are still a lot of doors out there and don't hesitate to not open another one. Accept a new challenge as it arrives. Every new door is a different story but all those doors will lead to your goal. Remember that the only one who is stopping you is yourself.

Choose: My Happiness or Yours?

We can’t deny that we’ve all been through this rough decision. You wanna go home but your friends want you to stay? You wanna buy your favorite shoes but your mom insists that the shoes she picked was better? You wanna be a teacher but your parents wants you to be an engineer? Those are just some of the hard decisions to think over. Whether you’ll go for what you want but the other side gets disappointed or you follow the wants of others and you just have to bear with it.  But to think of it, sometimes you have to fight for yourself. I mean, yes, you want to make them happy, but what about you? Are you gonna be happy? Yes, sometimes you have to think about others before yourself but it doesn't mean you have to do it all the time...because sometimes, people can abuse you for that. Would you want that? Definitely not. But then the thought that you're risking something over your happiness might come into mind. Take for example, your friendship. Yes, they

Maybe Life Isn't As Bad As You Think It Is

We all think that life is a challenge. An RP game that we are all a part of. We go through things that we think are our last challenge because we're just gonna pause it right there and not even think of a way to get over it. And now you're stuck at looking at a flat wall, and it's staring back at you. A tough life, that's what we all have. We have problems that we think will never arrive at our doorstep, but it did. When something goes wrong, we think that we rode the wrong train and there's no turning back. But maybe that's just how it's supposed to be. We've focused enough on the normal things that we didn't even wonder what's behind a mountain. We think that we're safe if we do things normally, and by doing things the normal way, there's nothing that can waver the norms. When we look at people smiling and laughing, we wish that our life will turn out to be like theirs, and we're not even thinking that maybe they have their own

Goodnight.

It's almost 2am and my mind is filled with reasons why I couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep ... because when you've said your last "goodnight" for today, I wondered if you'll ever need me for the next couple of hours. What if you couldn't sleep, or have been woken up from a nightmare, and I wouldn't be there to tell you that everything's going to be alright? Tell me what's bothering you at 3am and I will talk to you until you fall asleep. And by then I'll bid you Goodnight. I couldn't sleep ... because when I look at the ceiling, I'd wish that by the time I look beside me, I can see you, and not this pillow missing the warmth of your skin. And maybe by then we wouldn't need to have our phone in our hands, because I would intertwine your fingers with mine, and they'd fit perfectly, almost as if it's meant to be. And we'll look at each other's eyes Not on our phones Because we wouldn't have
