Burnt out af but still going on

No :c

Fuel for next paper

The test went downhill but I tried to not let it bother me because I don't have the luxury to do so since more tasks ahead of me. 'It'll be alright, there's still time to improve' kept myself afloat. My sleep too were lacking and must fix it soon since I could feel myself feeling restless and the exhaustion keeps on seeping inside.

It's midnight, and here I am awake with endless thoughts. The weather here been so hot that I swear I could melt into a puddle causing a need to keep my water super cold and iced all the time. But at night, I want my drink to be warm hence the Tyseo tumbler with OSK's oolong tea.

Gentle reminder to everyone to keep yourself hydrated, eat that delicious food you keep thinking of and get some rest when you're tired. You deserve it.

caffeine + finals

i love being a preschool teacher because yesterday i was teaching my class how life is not a race and how we can move slowly with intention. another child asked me, “what is life about, then?” and i responded “life is about having fun and being happy!” and they all giggled and agreed. the same child said “life is about riding bikes outside!” what a sweet moment

friendly reminders:

you don't have to be productive every day

you are worthy even if all you did today was get out of bed

there are people out there who care about you

your existence makes a difference

if something bothers you, then it bothers you. no one has the right to tell you otherwise

you are allowed to take up space

there is no 'right way' to grieve

you cannot put a time limit on emotions

your likes and interests are valid and they matter

it's okay to take your time in doing things. not everyone can do everything at the same pace

I have a lot of homework to do. ;)

Semester break had ended, and it's the start of my final semester for Masters in Management! Always starting the day with coffee. The weather is hot and humid, hence the iced latte.
