Appreciate the beauty that is life.

I started this blog at the young age of 15. Now that I am 18, I realise that there were so many things that never crossed my mind back then. Of course, I don't think they were meant to cross my mind, for I was far too young to be thinking about life nor it's importance. I am 18 now, and yes, I know that I am making myself sound like I am 40. However, 18 is that delicate age when you are on the precipice of discovering life's secrets. It's the age when all your tastes become cemented. The age when you realise why you are here and what it all means. 

I have a strong relationship with my family members. I have a great personal life and educational life. I am stable, I am serious, and I am ready to take on the world.

The beauty of feeling like this is that you begin to appreciate life.

When I was younger, I considered as well as attempted to take my own life. It was so meaningless back then. I would have disappeared from this beautiful world and it didn't seem like such a big deal to me. I was mistaken. I am not saying this merely because I am in a good place in my life. I am saying this because being in a good place in my life has caused me to realise what life really has to offer. I am scared that had I succeeded in taking my own life, I would have missed out on all the experiences life has offered me, both good and bad. 

I have my life sorted out. I am studying for my career now, as opposed to taking a slew of subjects in high school and not really knowing what to do with them. College has shown me a whole new dimension of academics, and I can proudly say that I enjoy attending classes now, for I know that this is where I'm supposed to be, this is knowledge I need and want to have.

I strongly hope all my readers appreciate their families. I have slowly begun to realise the true importance and beauty of having your family's support and love. I was and am terribly afraid of the world rejecting my sexuality. However, having come out of the closet to my family, having experienced a wondrous acceptance, I know that I will always have their unconditional support; while this does not take away my fear, it definitely eases it. 

Appreciate what you got, and if you don't have anything to appreciate, then appreciate when you will get.

Austin Percario's Amazing Cover of Roar by Katy Perry

Hi everyone,

Check out this amazing boy Austin's cover of Roar.

I was genuinely blown away!

Home

I'm homesick.

There, I said it.

I want my L shaped apartment. I want my fat dogs. I want my metalhead brother and I want my ocean view windowsill.

Let's go home already. 

Burning little fingers

The tapping of letters 

Though thousands of miles set us apart 

Still burned like a flame 

Not extinguished with distance 

Or time 

A week is nothing 

Days can't erase memory 

Of lonely nights 

And a burning screen 

Of unresolved passion 

And tears flowing freely 

Unaittable yet so bittersweet 

She's far away but so close 

Disappearing into loneliness

A missing piece of this puzzle 

Is only her. 

Another Claymation

The Pains of Having Too Much Work

Something that everyone related to is work. More specifically, too much work. This may sound rather exaggerated, but I am drowning in work. Most of it may be brought on, for I have procrastinated enough to dig my own grave. Either way, I genuinely feel like I have no time for myself - nor my blog. I'm positive I may have lost a few - dozen - readers in the past year, but I can't bring myself to blame them. When is the last time I posted a proper, well-composed post? Feels like a hundred years ago, and may as well be the case. 

Fortunately, my IB readers must understand my pain. For the others, rest assured - I will be making an honest attempt to finish all my work so that I will have time to dedicate to this blog,

Peace,

Kim 

How NOT To Have A Fun Summer

1. Party so hard, you get grounded.
2. Party so hard, you get exhausted.
3. Procrastinate so bad, all your summer work begins to stress you out. (And then end up having your trip to France cancelled.)
4. Not work out during the year, so you end up not having a summer-ready body.
