Angels

I made up a short story to boost my mood whenever I am upset. I hope what I wrote is true and cheers you up. Anyways, here it is:
There is a large, dome-shaped observatory in Heaven filled with telescopes; it's a place where angels can go to see what is happening on Earth. The observatory isn't a popular place because it's like a library. Only the angels who are truly fascinated by our lives go there and see what is going on here. They watch us smile, they watch us laugh, and sometimes they watch us cry. Our emotions have a strange effect on them and cause them to care deeply about us, therefore, they smile when we smile, they laugh when we laugh, and they cry when we cry. But the thing is, angels don't like to cry. So whenever we are sad or are praying for something to happen, the angels leave the observatory, fly over to God and whisper in his ear "(your name) needs your help." <3

Good Enough

Yesterday, when I was writing in my diary, I realized that I should be blogging instead. So, let me share with you a thought that has been bothering me all day.
Good never seems to be good enough. People are never happy with what they have; they always want more. Someone can be in a relationship with a beautiful, sweet, and intelligent person, but as soon as they set their eyes on someone who is a bit more beautiful or intelligent or sweet, they jeopardize everything they have. They give up what is good to chase something they assume is better. Who knows if that person will be better for them? What if they aren't? Why risk all the good you have? Why isn't good, good enough? Why so many questions? Anyways, just be grateful if you have something good in your life; something or someone to hold close to you and cherish. I understand that this does not apply to everyone and that everyone seeks improvement and success. Sometimes all we want is to get ahead of our fellow "competitors," but that doesn't mean letting go of what you have now, unless it is necessary. What you have now is not worthless. Good is good enough.

Hello, it's me

Junior year is probably the most stressful year in high school. Senior year is also stressful because of college applications, but after that things seem to become easier and easier. As a junior, you are expected to take challenging courses, have excellent grades, participate in extracurricular activities, prepare and ace the SAT/ACT, pass AP exams with a score of 4 or higher, volunteer, and get a decent amount of sleep. Is that even feasible?! I know there are some perfect students out there who manage to do all of that and not complain; they're usually the ones who get accepted to Harvard. Unfortunately, not everyone is a perfect student, especially me. I am attempting to juggle all those tasks, but I am slowly failing because of my inability to do eight things at once. Like come on, I can multi-task but I am not super human! At least the school year is almost over and I have enough willpower to get me through. I believe that it is not too late for me, or for anyone else, to improve test scores and get more involved in clubs. Anything is possible! We can do it! Don't give up! I am glad I ended this post on a motivational note and not with an endless rant.

For your information: I renovated this blog, so all previous posts have been deleted. It's a new year and I guess that means it's a fresh start!
