PROBLEMS ARE NOT STOP SIGNS, THEY ARE GUIDE LINES

"Shallow waters have drowned me

I failed without having tried

I am ashamed of what I have done

Without any reason how much I've cried"

-Alisha Khan

Not to brag or anything, but I like that stanza. My latest poem’s stanza. I like writing poems, too. This one was simply to portray that I am sorry for the things that I did wrong in the past. For the immature little things I used to cry over for hours.

I am losing myself here. The point is, solutions to problems are like, your life’s fate. You find temporary solutions, your fate becomes temporary. Permanent solutions, though, are hard to find. I, for instance want to find some way to find a permanent clarification of a difficulty. It can’t be THAT hard. Oh! No wait, it is!

Ugh.

I am trying. To wake up every day with enthusiasm, happiness, to cherish the wonders of life. And maybe that’s what all of us are supposed to do. The previous year here was not very easy for me. I moved from…never mind. I moved from a place called home to here. By here, I mean a different place. It isn’t a different country, but still, it was very different for me. The cultures, traditions, locality, language, fashion, etc. I was officially a newbie. School was impossible, friend circle did not exist, and the only thing I was good at was academics at school.

In a year, a lot can change. I have a mini friend circle now, and they’re all good people. I am trying to fit into school. But that has become easier for me ever since I got my two best friends. I started to get distracted. High school=distraction.

So I have my academics dropped. Not low, just less than aces that were rightfully mine in the past. Now all I want to learn is how to balance these. People ask me to choose one. But I am gonna show them I am capable of balancing.
