One of my friends recently wrote on her blog about having
that ‘everything’ moment where something triggers a million thoughts about your
life. I recently experienced just that.
After receiving my June exam results
which were not bad by sane peoples standards but I was not so happy. Then I
thought what if I don’t get into psychology honours, what if I just walk away
with a stupid BA degree, what can I do with that? Where will I go if I don’t
get into honours? I don’t want to go back home, I don’t want to be a waitress
or a secretary for the rest of my life? I hate essays! What gives one person
the right to say that my opinion is wrong? How am I supposed to compete with a
sister who is acing her medical degree?
This ended in tears #emotional break down
I hope we all have those moments, it will make me feel a
little bit more normal. I guess that in life our biggest competitor is our self.
If we are not happy with our own achievements then we won’t believe the
compliments of others. Sometimes it takes these ‘everything’ moments to wake us
up, to give us the boost we need to get through something like the last
semester of undergrad. I hope that this leads to a happy ending, but until then
I focus on the here and now, I realise the awesomeness of being my own person.
