Dear reader,
I’ve had the title of this blog in my drafts for a while but didn’t quite know how to tackle it initially.
As a University student, I have had my fair share of results days and still have quite a few to come 😅. Getting back results is something I don’t like (usually because I am pretty harsh on myself and set really high expectations for myself). I also find it stressful. But, I wanted to generally speak about exam results because I know it’s something that all students can relate to and most of us dread.
Just because life is sometimes not so glamorous. It is adapted a little from a letter I wrote to myself. Couldn't post at the time because it was too recent, but it's here now with the hope that it might provide some comfort to someone who needs it.
Dear reader,
I think most people will have dealt with this at some point and if not will probably have to in the future. This is actually a modified version of something I wrote to myself and for myself as a way to release and feel a little better about how I was feeling. Hope it helps someone.
Dear reader,
"You are not a mess, you are a feeling person in a messy world".
Dear reader,
Most of us want direction. Sometimes we want to have everything worked out, but we can't because life is unpredictable.
I came up with this idea to hopefully bring some comfort to someone, put a smile on their face or be a small act of kindness that they might need on a bad day. The idea is that I write a series of letters/ notes anonymously to help lift spirits and make people feel less alone. We aren't always as honest and open with more difficult and negative feelings, which can leave us feeling lonely - I wanted to create a space that was truthful to more negative feelings we can all sometimes experience, yet bought some hope. A place that could be a safe haven or a little pick me up for people when they need it (including me).
Notes to reader and self to always remember- letters to self
