What may taught me

          

With my university being held in May I had totally neglected this blog for one whole month but that does not mean May wasn’t gracious enough to hand me a few lessons along the way.It’s amazing what life can teach you when you listen to her. 

1. Holding on
‘Anxiety’, a trait of mine that does cause a lot of problems especially when it comes to doing important task, like, giving an exam (though I can assure you I have no exam fear)
‘Overthinking’, another part of me that pushes people away and how I assume the worst of things
May taught me that I didn’t have to put to shame these parts of me that I didn’t like so much, and when these feelings push me to the ground I didn’t have to do much, except, to keep holding on

2. Being grateful Remember that hymn we sang as a child ‘count your blessings name them one by one…’I was constantly struggling with the choices I have made and wondered if the course I had chosen for myself was the right one, I wondered would I be happier if I had done a major in English and seeing countless stories of successful people running after the life they wanted didn’t help me much.
But I was gently reminded of how hard I had prayed for what I have right now, how badly I had wanted to get into this university. I got exactly what I wanted and instead of being grateful I wanted more.

3. Simple living
