Things That Inspire Me

I’ve been pretty stressed lately, mainly, because of school. You know how it is when we’re busy, we’re so caught up with things and it’s pretty difficult to make time to think and ponder why we’re doing what we do. I mean, seriously, what is the purpose of a lot of the things we do in life? We don’t calculate our every expense to the nth root; neither do we attempt to discover the history of our toothpaste.
That being said, I have, noticeably, been victimized by the enemy that is STRESS and this time, I’d like to pause for a while, take a breather, and recall the things in life that inspire me, and some of the reasons why I do what I do. Here goes:
- I want to graduate and get a good life for myself
I don’t want to be dependent on people my whole life. I want to be able to stand on my own someday and know that I’ve accomplished this much and I can survive in this world given the skills that I have been equipped with – my education. My knowledge. Main point: I want to rule the world. Uh, no. But I do want to take control of my own life. - I want to graduate and get a good life for my family
They’ve given me so much. They’ve helped me through a lot of things. I’d obviously have that desire to give back to them. I want them to live in an amazing house, with lots of beautiful cars. I want to give my mom and my sister trendy clothes and my dad and brother… whatever guys like. Haha Main point: I just want to be close to them, I’ve been far from them too long, that’s so not good for me. - I want to know about children
One of my many passions is children. I love kids. I love making a difference in their lives. There’s something about those little ones that decrease my stress level from 100 to 1.
Take it from me Candy girls, if you want sanity amidst life’s hullabaloos, pause a while. Take time off, even just 5 minutes, to lie on your bed, close your eyes and think of the reasons why you do the things you do. It may be shallow, like, “I want to buy this bag” or “I want my crush to notice me,” I mean, hey, at least your doing it for something. That’s a start.
As for me, I have to list down, maybe 20 more to get my mind off my history report! Aaaaaaaah!
Nonetheless, smile. 
Grace Under Pressure,
Crissy
