Decide

So, do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? 

Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More Compassionate?
Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out and decide.

— Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

It's so easy to lose ourselves in the monotonous, unchanging routine in your daily life, that so often, we forget to stop and take a look around to reflect ourselves. In the midst of stress and busyness, we lose our sense of purpose, our goals and that determination to reach it. It often strikes me as invigorating and daunting at the same time, that we can literally be whoever we want to be, in the spur of a moment, with a decision made. We're not lazy or unlovable or pretentious by nature, it's not set in stone in our personalities. These are things we can change at any moment we decide to, so why don't we? Change can be scary, but change also allows for room to grow, to experiment, to experience. It's all in the thinking. 

Grade 12 has hit us hard with the heavy workload that it promises; trying to keep that under control while trying to enjoy every single last moment you can spend with these wonderful people is one of the greatest challenges. I think in this busy and stressful time, we shouldn't neglect to see the little things, the beautiful things and be thankful everyday.

Good luck with school for everyone, especially our fellow seniors.

Have a wonderful and BLESSED day.

Leaving you with another Grey's Anatomy quote that motivates me everyday 'cause I can.

"Have some FIRE. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature.

Be better than anyone here and don't give a damn what anyone thinks."
