Better Days & Getaways

I'm looking for something that's hard to find and hard to see, but when you find it, you know you got it. I'm always second guessing myself. You know how there's the famous saying, just go with your instincts? Well, Samra's always double checking her instincts. Is this right to feel? Should I approach so and so like this? It's never something in me that I just do, on a whim. So in some ways, my human instincts are flawed. I should never be afraid to voice my opinion on what I believe in, and I should definitely hope that other person reacts in a compatible way with myself. My way of dealing with problems is that I keep quiet, which is great sometimes, but definitely not all. What I need is faith. Faith that things will work out right, at the right time. Anyone got some faith? 

"Stepping up. It's a simple concept. It basically means to rise above yourself; to do a little more, to show you're something special."

How much can one person tolerate? How much can I? When I kept telling you, "I'm on the edge, I can't handle this" did you think that gave you the green light to see how much you could push me? Imagine this, I'm standing close to the edge of the cliff, with each argument I get closer and closer towards the edge. What happens when there's no more ground for my feet? I fall of course. I have fallen off this cliff, are you that surprised? It's funny when you can act ignorant on the fact that I've forewarned you about this many times. If you're going to keep playing catch with a glass ball, eventually it's going to break (enough analogies for you yet?) Once it breaks, it's going to be cold...not warm and put together. Maybe this attitude consoles me more from the stuff I've gone through, heck whatever consoles me is good from this point. I think you took me for granted. When you involve parents in problems, they don't forgive easily, the...

First impressions are undoubtedly very important. I mean, I find myself in a career where I need to go into the classroom with confidence and a glowing attitude or else my students will walk all over me and take advantage. And God only knows that I don’t want to be a doormat again (this ain’t London). I know that in a classroom, it’s not about being aggressive, rather assertive . That is the first impression I want to be able to depict to my students right from the get-go. Because let’s be honest, I still feel like a little girl (thank you petite-ness). Any important situation whether we’re at an interview, at a party or meeting our work team, the first impressions are so important and most of the times spot-on. Of course, you shouldn’t just judge someone on their first impression if it wasn’t the best, give them that benefit of the doubt. One feels more comfortable judging after they get to know someone. I mean, the truth is that you can’t live your life without being judged, t...

It's very strange how life works. When we least expect something good, it tends to happen. And on the contrary, when one bad thing happens, they happen all at once. Maybe it's some sort of test that God places us in these situations to see how we'll react and persevere. Whatever the case may be, I can assume he does enjoy it. The good thing is that means our lives will never be boring. And they shouldn't be, what's the point then right? If you aren't seizing the day and living to each moment. Because of course, tomorrow is not guaranteed. But this is not a morbid, obscure entry, I just wanted to take the time (out of my very very  precious day) and document my thoughts. Maybe it's me listening to music and not wanting to do my assignment...but I find myself day dreaming. Day dreaming of what the future holds, how excited I am to delve into my career (that call), how excited I am to move forward with my life and start it really. It's weird right, getting ...
