Why should anyone listen to you? When writing on this topic, what makes you have authority on the subject?
Look, I am not one to brag about my life or my upbringing so that is exactly what I won’t do. I’m not here to romanticize my life, or to make you, the reader, think I lived the most amazing life there is to live. But from the bottom of my heart, the life i had when i was child and the one i currently have is something i would never change.
I grew up in an italian household, and as you may not know, italians are bog on their superstitions. Not even joking, I heard the line, “If I’m alive tomorrow then we will see then.” a million times whenever someone tried to make early or well thought out plans. Honestly the sheer thought of being on the receiving end of that line used to make the hair on my arms stand up, but surprise surprise, I know that person who says that line.
1: Imagine there’s thirty centimeters of snow on the ground outside, every school called a snow day except yours. As you are running for your bus, slip on ice, cannot get up because you have a million things in your school bag. You make the commute anyway, just for your teachers to cut class short and send you home early.
2: how would you feel if, you poured your heart out on a school paper just for your teacher to tell you, “i don’t believe this is good enough, maybe you should have chosen another topic” and the teacher fails you, instead of allowing you to work on it another time.
3: children who talk about their dream going to college, make me want to protect them and have them understand that the world is a rough place and not everyone will be nice to them. But i don’t say anything, because crushing a child’s dream is like the feeling of a teacher telling you aren’t good enough.
What does stress feel like?
The overwhelming anxiety of never feeling like you are doing enough but at the same time feeling like you are doing too much.
Stress feels like five coffees in one day, and maybe a fruit? If not a real fruit maybe juice counts?
Stress is, trying to manage your grades, keep your average up for university, trying to manage work and saving money, because you are young and you should be saving money !!!
Stress feels like, my tongue always touching the top of my mouth, my jaw clenched, my shoulders and back always tense. MIGRAINES so many MIGRAINES.
Stressful word:
