Peace?

Nyeh. So I thought that I was done with almost everything I needed to do over break...and then it turns out that I'm not. In fact, it turns out that I've got position papers to write for MUN...ones that I completely forgot about until this morning. I guess I kept telling myself I had time so much that I actually believed it! If they were shorter papers I wouldn't mind, but they're kind of inspecific as to what they want the spacing of their paper to be and I always like to take up as much room as they'll allow me to...so right now I'm looking at having to write two pages single-spaced size 10 font. For each topic.

Now, I'm almost done with the first one, but that's because I've done the topic before and pretty much copied and pasted material from old position papers. The second topic, while I have done it before, I have not had to write a paper for; therefore I will have to manage on my own for that one.

This break has gone by too fast. Really, I think this year has gone by too fast. I barely have enough time to get anything done and it seems like it's all flying by so fast...and like it's leaving me behind. I don't know. I don't know any more. It just seems like there's so little time left until it's all going to be over...

And that's a good way to get myself really stressed out, something I definitely don't have the time or patience for right now. But I guess that it's just that I hate things moving so quickly. Sometimes I wish that the world would just take a day off and slow down for a bit so that I could enjoy things instead of just doing them.

Just know, dear, that others are in the same exact boat as you and that summer is coming soon. This summer, your project is find about a half an hour a day to yourself. DO NOT LET THIS BECOME STRESSFUL FOR YOU! Escape into a bubblebath, relax under warm blankets, take a walk by the beach... find time for your inner child, let her play in the mud.

Steph, you're amazing. Thanks for the encouragement, and the suggestions.

No problem!

I know what you mean, Candace. I know what you mean.

*Looks at calendar* Gah! My 18th birthday is four months away as of today! My childhood is almost over!

See what I mean? I mean, I would give almost anything to be able to stop time, y'know?

Turning 18 doesn't really mean anything. It's a number. Pi is a number. What does pi mean? Nothing, except in context.

I'd give you the advice Steph J gave me, but I think it involved taking a bubble bath and might not work quite as well for you. Instead I shall be general and insist that you go do happy things, like spinning around in circles or dancing in the rain. Or splashing in puddles.
