“If You Were Alone, Feeling Could Overtake You And Stick To You Like A Shadow.”

I thought there might be a lot of other people who would benefit from reading this, too.

guys bad grades are not a sign of weakness and should never make you feel bad enough to slide into depression. 

bad grades are just reminders for us to learn that content to the point of easily retrieving that information. it is a sign of us not knowing that information well enough to spit it up from our memory.

bad grades should serve as a reminder that there is this bottom that i’ve hit and should use that as the bottom of the pool to push off of and reach the top. break the surface and breathe. don’t let the bad grades drown you.

when we fall to the bottom and succumb, we are not letting ourselves live. we are letting ourselves fall.

that being said, you define a bad grade. a 70 could be bad for person a but be spectacular for person b. so don’t base your definition of a bad grade on other peoples’ expectations/standards/goals . you make your own goal and live for it.

“My heart’s not yours to hold. You hear me? Not. Yours.”

“I think you should consider it a miracle I’ve stuck around this long. It’s so creepy here.”

“Chasing the adventure is only half the fun. Look at all the friends we’ve made.”

“We might have to lower our expectations.”

“Fantastic, you’ve enchanted the bones to life. Dare I ask what’s next?”

“Dare I even try to ask for forgiveness? Do I deserve it?”

IDK who needs to hear this but if there’s something in your life that makes you feel better, but you never stick to it,

it’s still actually perfectly fine to do it

and you shouldn’t stop yourself from starting just because it won’t be a permanent change.

Like if starting a new daily planner gives you an amazing afternoon of planning and four days where you feel in charge of your life,

why not do it?

It doesn’t matter that it won’t be a permanent change - 4 good days is still worth it.

If you ever catch yourself thinking, “I wish I could pray/stretch/prep/plan/do the thing, but I always get started on that and it never lasts more than a couple of days,”

what this really means is, “hey, I can feel better for a couple of days.”

if this post is making you think of things in your own life that you wish you could stick to because of how good they make you feel,

just be aware:

you’re not thinking of a list of ways you’ve failed to commit

you’re thinking of a list of things that make you happy, and you should give yourself permission to start doing them as often as you want to

if you are seeing this, you are going to prosper. you are experiencing a new part of your life where you will bloom into a better version of yourself and flourish. abundance is coming your way; love is coming your way; peace and clarity are coming your way. you have nothing to fear and even less to worry about. the darkness around you has been the soil and you are now getting ready to sprout. you are going to prosper

It’s currently midnight here.

I’m /finally/ catching up on the works that I’ve been putting off for the last month. My teachers will surely be disappointed in me (or my performance, idk), but I know I can’t change that. The best I can do right now is do my best, give my all at this final stretch of school stuffs before summer.

Ahh, summer. My greatest motivation this school year. I can’t wait, I’ll see you soon, my lovely summer.  ㅠ ㅠ

Anyway~ I’m trying not to fall asleep :(( wish me luck!!

Quarantine Tarantino: Beginning

Today, I managed to check 1 out of 2 on my to-do list, and honestly? that felt better than not checking anything!

It’s been so long since we had this lockdown, and with the way things are going: the lockdown would be longer. Some provinces are apparently going into a GCQ, but if it’s not needed, please stay at home! At the very least, wear a mask! Still, we continue to advocate for mass testing!

Last night, I had this Big Brain moment. I was wondering what to do during this lockdown, and I realized that I have my studyblr! I thought this might be the best time to actually work on establishing my studyblr since I have nothing much to do. I would probably put up a more concrete introduction in the next few days, but basically this is my way of doing something productive. I managed to clean out my studyblr, and I also managed to clean my room. I may not have made all the progress I would want but, hey! Little progress is still progress.

Quick academic update:

i’m planning to shift to a different course;

i’ve managed to start working on my requirements (yay!!!);

uplb admin is, once again, evident on their anti-student tendencies. 

I’ll post a proper write-up about this soon. I’ll try and head to bed early now since I’ve realized that I can work better on my academic requirements during the day. Here’s to hoping I get up early tomorrow lol.

Anyway, I hope you’re all safe and healthy! To all my fellow Filipinos, stay vigilant! We only have at most 7 days before the terror bill automatically becomes a law. Read up, stay hydrated, and get enough rest!
