I should be doing uni work, I've got a 2500 word research essay due by Thursday and a presentation to prepare for on Friday but as per usual I'm procrastinating. Instead I'm listening to Hey Monday while I look up random artsy photos that people have posted online. I guess I'm benefiting from doing this - I'm in a good mood so would this really be classified as 'time wasting'? Who knows, I don't really care. I'll get it all done eventually. Maybe I'm wasting your time by you reading this? That's your choice though so I don't care about that either!

Anyway, I've been doing a lot of thinking about this year and a few weeks ago I said something that was a bit like this;
'I've done nothing all year, what's even happened this year?', and at that moment because I felt like shit I actually believed that statement. I was in a place that blinded me from seeing all of this years accomplishments.

On the weekend I was doing a personality quiz on my dad's iphone and a question came up that asked me if I was an achiever. I asked my dad what he thought and before he could answer I said that I had no idea, and then my auntie jumped into the conversation and said 'no you're not a high achiever' or something rather. I was kind of shocked at that statement so I decided to walk away and think about it. When I left I answered the iphone question with a yes. Just because I haven't achieved anything that other people would be proud of me for, it doesn't mean I haven't achieved anything at all. There's so much people don't know and with that statement I thought wow, she really doesn't know me at all.

I'm sure if every single person in the world thought about who they were at the start of the year and compared it to who they are today, they would be shocked at how much they've changed or how far they've come. Not everyone would have changed for the better though, but I feel like I've learned so much and even if I haven't achieved anything that people wouldn't consider worthy of an achievement, it's okay because I know what I've accomplished.
