it seems that many many people are stressed right now. probably becoz schoolwork is getting on everyone, but it's really quite scary when u see ur friends break down and all... then again, there are times when u just cannot hold on anymore and u just let go... but i guess no matter how hard you fall, you must get back on ur feet and continue the journey through life.
with so many things to do, so many things u want to excel in, i guess we can't help it but feel totally stressed. i guess wad matters most is that no matter what u do or what u wanna do, u must feel happy at the end of it all. there's no point striving so hard and suffering if at the end u dun feel good about it. and just recently, a couple of my dance frens are kind of stressed because of dance and academics. it really is not easy to juggle academic and CCA, then try to excel in both. of course people feel that if u can try to excel in both, they'll deem u as THE GREAT ONE or something. sometimes, as all of us strive for excellence, we have forgotten our passion, our love and joy in doing the things that we do and the things that we love to do.
and come to think of it, dance is so competitive and all. there are many excellent dancers out there. same goes for academics. people score sky-high grades out there, and u feel that no matter how hard u work, u can never reach the same standard as them. and this is probably when we start to lose hope and all. and this is where i remind myself that i'm dancing for myself, i'm studying for myself. i'll compete with noone but myself. and i'll overtake myself day by day, until one day i'll be excellent as well. and of course, i'll find joy in wadever i do. =D
i dunno wad i'll become if i didn't have any passion in anything. bet i'll be wondering why i'm living on earth. lol. so thank goodness for dance. and for my darling friends out there, stay smiley! =D
