"Do Not Give Up. The Beginning Is Always the Hardest"

Just last week, my CCA (basically my school's dance team) had participated in a International Dance competition. We performed a contemporary piece. The piece was about how people looked perfectly fine, and how it seems that their lives are perfect. However, what we don't actually know is the amount of hardships, struggles and problems that they have to face daily, and how they are slowly dying on the inside, unable to cope with everything anymore. (We actually got Distinction yay)

Sadly, like this piece, I have not been feeling good. 

Emotionally.

I am not depressed, and I do laugh every day. However, I feel really stressed out with school and life in general (this explains my one week absence sorry!). I am not doing well in my academics, nor am I doing well in any other aspect of my life this year. Everything is going downhill, and I feel exhausted. No matter how much hard work I put in, things just don't work out for me. 

Why?

Why do we have so many problems? So many hardships? 

They say that all these things make you stronger. 

But I feel that there are too many of such things in such a short span of time. To the point where I might just crumble one day. I am hardly getting any rest, and I am plain exhausted. Physically and mentally. 

However, on a side note, I am really grateful to my friends. They had really helped me keep my mind off these things for a while, and I know that they will definitely be with me throughout this difficult time of mine and I am really grateful for all of them :) 

I really do believe that there's a light at the end of the tunnel and things will definitely get better for me soon <3 

To everyone else who might be experiencing the same thing as me, be it in academics, work or just life in general, do cheer up and forge ahead!! It may be tough (because I really feel so), but I am sure that things will get resolved eventually and naturally, so don't ever give up! 

Remember to smile! :)

Album of the Week:

EXO - Exodus 

Genre: K-pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Ballad, Dance

So this album consists of 10 songs, and was recently released (one month ago is considered recent right) and I got really addicted to it after looping the album a few times :D The songs are really catchy and there are a variety of songs, from upbeat and fast-paced songs to slow and soothing songs. I personally like the songs Call Me Baby, Transformer, My Answer, Playboy and Beautiful (half of the album whoops). All those songs are completely different in genres but they are all really nice the more you listen to them :)

There is also a Chinese version of this album (this particular group, EXO, releases both Korean and Chinese versions of their songs) so go check them out if you wish to!
