what in the world is going on in my life?

for whatever reason, i wanted to do a check in.

just take some time to write about my life. how i feel. where i am, where i’m going. this is shifting slightly from my usual style — non fiction, stoicism, sport — but i felt that this is just as important, if not more important.

if i didn’t take a minute to just breathe and ask myself how i am, what’s the point in anything?

(i don’t read crime novels, so in a way this is simply a ghost)

objectively, i’m doing pretty well.

the last time i wrote one of these more personal articles was back in april, a month before my exams. since then, i studied well, completed my exams, and i’ve just been enjoying my summer; reading, writing, watching films.

i don’t do well with extended periods of time away from school. for whatever reason, i always like to be busy striving to achieve something; if there isn’t an end goal, i’m lost.

despite that, i’ve been enjoying the last month i’ve had away from school, and i still have around 7 weeks. i’ve filled the time with mini projects — learning spanish, online courses and getting back into writing non fiction pieces.

i’m doing pretty well. emotionally, physically and mentally, i’m doing well.

everything isn’t perfect, of course, but i’m doing as well as i can, and that’s what matters…
