Hey little Ant... Have High Hopes!

#7 Today I learned.....
That there is a method to madness...


Boy did I have a rough day. school was disgusting, I was suppose to be on the honorary student list for century club but this girl beat me with .30%- it was so embarrassing. I was looking forward to it too, I really worked my ass of this year! My stupid crafts teacher decides to teach us some art history (which never happened before and the series of unit tests will absolutely bring down my mark) and completely screwed us over. I come home broken tired and starving only to be greeted with yet another fight between my mum,aunts and grandma. It was chaotic and gruesome and of course about arranged marriage.


There's this man who has been asking for my aunt for quite some time and my parents are pressuring her into marriage. Even though both my aunts are in love with very nice guys. Of course love is forbidden for my kind. women are taught to be robot cyborgs at a very young age-it's sickening! I feel really bad for them.


A part of me enjoyed hearing them yell and cuss at each other. It seems crazy but I liked it. I wish i can fight for my freedom and future like that, in a way those yells to me were like war cries!


By the time I got them to hush up, five brutal hours had gone by! I still did not unpack my Avon orders!


But there's two things I learned today:


1. Let people fight their own battles and
2. adapt!


I'm feeling really optimistic because although I had a huge amount of failures today, It didn't make a dent in me!

A bit of advice, Be ready to adapt to certain situations. As we all know and might have experienced things seldom go as planned so be ready to take the bull by it's horns and simply go with the flow. Life is an adventure- be prepared to be adventurous in return.
