Life is Not an Instagram Feed: Though These Ten Things Might Help a Little


I passed, my exam. Yes, I did. But the experience was horrible. And it also made me realize that being a blogger is hard. There's so many doors that open up for you, it get's confusing. And then you get lost. But when you get lost, that is when you find out who you are.

The past few weeks of my life have been weird, hard and eye opening. It's tiring. I have so many dreams and ambitions,I just want them to come true. But I forget that there are priorities in life. Sometimes you need to give up on the things you like, just to reach to a better state of mind and soul.

As much as we want our dreams to come true, we forget that there's always a time and place for everything to happen. And this is not the right time to get our wishes to come true. So here's what I'm going to do. This is my list of priorities and I'll try not to forget what comes first and stick to my beliefs and not stray.


Life is not a movie or my instagram feed. People hide who they are on these websites. No one reveals their miserable side, and believe that if they're happy on facebook, that's how their real life is. So here's the things i need to focus on.
1. Studies always come first. And if I can't study, then there's always.


2. Sleep. being a med student is hard enough as it is, and with all my interests and extra curricular activities piling up, I forget to rest and then spend the day dozing in class, which in turn affects my studies.


 3. Reading more. I had stopped reading books, but now I'm back to it. A famous american professor once read my manuscript and he said that even though my words speak volumes of my talent, they shout louder how much more I need to read. And now I realize how true it is. Being a writer is not just about writing, it's about reading too. So it doesn't matter if i read ten pages of a novel daily, at least i'm reading.


4. Writing for more newspapers. I feel like I have the potential to grow, and I have so much to say. Blogging isn't that effective where I come from. In Pakistan, to make a name, you need to get published in a few famous magazines. So I'll try working my way up. And try not to forget my blog. I will ficus on my prose, and my poetry too.


5. Try to find ways to earn pocket money. As I grow up, I see how I shouldn't be bothering my parents for little wishes i can make do without, like a new phone or a tablet. So I should start saving up and earning money to save up. Be more responsible and understand that I'm not supposed to be a burden on my family. Writing for newspapers just might help me out. And buy lots of clothes!


6. Family comes first. My parents are right, that they are right. As i keep growing up, I see how my rebellious nature is just baseless and nothing with a solid reason. I need to learn to admit I am wrong. Besides, i spend too much time away from them that i sometimes miss them. Even though it's hard to be family, but the love is undeniable!


7. Relax on weekends. I go to college during  weekdays, and spend the weekends out working on assignments that i never get paid for. As exciting and fun as it is, it tires me out really bad. I need to relax more.


8. Write on weekends. Yes, as stupid as it sounds, I do need to rest on weekdays too, I spend 12 hours daily on college and that's really tough. The last thing I need is to spend all that time in front of the computer screen typing with a heavy head, knowing how very less productive it is.


9. Stay in touch with the people who are sincere to me. Life is deceiving, and you often fail to realize who truly loves you, but once you do, stick close to them. I miss my friends. A lot. And i live too far away from them, so it makes me realize of their importance even more. One just can't live without them!


10. Finding myself and carving a niche. Like I said, I have so much to do and say. I have two years more left of college to figure it all out and find my way. I'm gonna take it slow IA.



Wish me luck! I just might not be alive tomorrow, so please pray all goes well.
