I vividly remember during 2017 or 2018, when I’d finally had enough of my bedroom.

It was a Sunday morning, and I quite literally remember throwing everything of mine onto the ground, and spending the entire day reorganizing my bedroom.

If I’m being honest, I think that was the first moment when I decided to change my life and my entire lifestyle.

High school is hard. Full stop. And I completely get it. I mean damn, I’m not even halfway there and I already find myself questioning my motivation sometimes.

But while high school often sucks, and can get really difficult and confusing at times, there are a few things that may help change that.

Life is short; It’s something we don’t realise until there's not much left of it.

As the days, weeks, months and years fly by, many of us easily get caught up in the excitement of day to day life, and forget to stop and show appreciation for each moment they have been given.

Gratitude allows you to see the upside of life; even when life seems horrible. 

On days where you think, “How could this day get any worse,” writing about your gratitude helps you heal.
