a sprouting plant

have you ever yearned for a new start?

Today, I deactivated my Instagram account for the first time. I've wanted to do this for quite a long time but it had never gone well, but this time I felt that I needed the proper break rather than wearing myself out with this sheer force existing in me to constantly, daily take a short look at what's going on in there.

More so now than before, I want myself to be truly happy without having to feel like I need to live up to other's expectations. To feel the necessity of having to post a story or a post so that others would know what I'm up to but being conflicted at the thought that I might be sharing too much- I do not want that anymore.

It's these thoughts and worries that harm me in more ways than anything else could and it is in my own best wishes that I am able to come back stronger, build myself through this absence of one less social media platform (which I hope will grow to become more) and allow myself to truly love and care for who I've become.

I can do it, and I will go through with this challenge.

inner struggles

 i feel like such a failure. little things going wrong, or not being the student i hoped to have been. i'm overreacting ik, but i think that i should validate my own feelings. i get so many advices from my family- constantly repeating that that one thing did not make you a failure and i do understand that, but when my feelings overwhelm me it's so hard to think of it otherwise. this is the one factor that's always caused me to fall ill before/ during or after exams and it's been this way for as long as i've known myself. i don't study as much as my peers do, i think. and since my sleep cycle is commonly 10pm-6am, sleeping early makes me feel so insecure about myself compared to my friends who stay up the night to study. but ik i shouldn't be and that we all have different studying methods. nevertheless, when there are so many doing one thing and i'm not it makes me feel terrible.  many times, i'm too hard on myself and i wish i wasn't.

what's up with me?

So... I got a scholarship! The best thing is that- it's at my dream university and the exact course I want. Alhamdulillah.  - oh that would be Sunway College, CAT-ACCA. I've actually started my online classes, it was early April. So far I've had 6 tests in total for the 2 subjects I'm currently taking; FA1 and MA1. Am I worried? hella YEA! the min requirement for my scholarship is 65% and we've been having past-faced classes for this whole month. Alhamdulillah my wifi is all good so I'm not having many problems in that case, just tired sometimes. But I'm not complaining, I chose this course and I knew how it might be. Plus, I can't tell you how much I enjoy learning all this! I've also joined a volunteering club at Sunway- in which I applied for an IP Programme (it's like being sub-directors) and got selected yeay! I had a video interview with them actually, so that was a new experience... I got so nervous tho 😰 I'm now an IP of...
