To Be Dust Soon Enough

As an Oath to myself.

To Be Dust Soon Enough
Drodd

At the end of the day my friend, remember the importance of appreciating yourself.

How I would dread to live a life without this understanding.

A life without having my mind as the caretaker for my body would be the greatest form of spiritual self-destruction.

Without Self Love, you will not breed wisdom from your mistakes.

As an Oath to myself:

It was you that stood with me through every tear, like raindrops falling from the skies.

It was you who understood me when no one else did.

It was you that believed in me to take that first step.

It was you who told me I am not tolerating my attitude anymore!

Although our body’s have limitations physically, no mind needs to be shortened of potential.

With spiritual limitation, we finally begin to love ourselves. As if starting a new journey, enriched with even more fulfilling adventures.

I bring advice from a long time friend of mine, Viktor Frankl.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms- to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s way.”

You cannot become overwhelmed unless you allow yourself to be consumed by the expectations you currently hold to yourself.

You cannot be harmed unless you submit yourself to a service of pain.

Most importantly, you cannot be enlightened unless you allow yourself to choose such a path.

I can surely relate...I hope you can too.

So to soothe such external expectations, with a pen in hand, I find myself.

Again..and Again...and Again..and Again..and Again…because this battle will never end.

I wish you can do the same, with a tool of intervention.

Able find yourself in any given situation.

Only then will your emotions walk the earth with you as a gentle giant.

Yet if you cannot find yourself alone

Look to the souls in the past

The stars in the sky

And the depths of the ocean

To remember...

you will be dust soon enough.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
