Back With A Vengence

  Hmm... Okay, so maybe not? Oh man! It's been ages since I last blogged but honestly, its most probably because I'm like the last person on Earth who really updates it... I mean every time I sit down to write, I think about something else and eventually I forget all about my little old blog... So, anyways, just to write about what I've been up to lately... Well, normal university stuff, I guess... Assignment, after assignment, after assignment... Don't get me wrong... Assignments has its props too but some times, I just get the feeling that I'm drowning in a sea of it... There's just too many... But just when I think about how much I have to work on, my mind drifts to someone less fortunately and I'm like, 'Whoa! Hold that thought! Get back to work!' Well, it's either that or I complain to my friends...

  To be honest, who doesn't complain... Admit it! No matter how much you want to deny it, there's some truth to it... In some way or another, we're not satisfied with what we've got... It's been this way from the beginning of time and will continue to be like that until the day we learn to actually appreciate every little thing we have instead of taking it for granted... The question that often comes to mind is, 'Why can't we appreciate what we already have?'... Yeah, well, maybe it's time to stop trying to find the answers else where and start somewhere closer to home... Yourself... I mean everything we are assigned stuff to do whether it's work or chores, we do nothing but complain... There's never an end to it... But it has never actually occurred to stop and think... We live in houses, wear pretty decent clothings, have the opportunity to attend school.. and the list goes on... But there are kids elsewhere who are not as lucky... Those who want to attend school but they can't out of fear of leaving their houses or simply because there are no schools nearby... To us, assignments are like torture devices but to these kids, they mean a ticket out of poverty, one that leads to a world of possibilities, a brighter future... etc...

  So, whenever you feel like complaining about an assignment or two, think about what I've mentioned earlier... About those less fortunate kids... Don't just complain for the sake of it but take the time instead to allow the truth sink in...
