new year special: unpotato self-care package

Last post for New Year Special! Through this series, I hope that we can all overcome our insecurities and take care of ourselves more during the next year! 💙 Self-care is not selfish, and you cannot spread the positivity to others when you are insecure about their performance. ❤️

you are allowed to be proud of the victories that no one else can see. like showering without completely hating your body, not breaking into tears at the thought of the future, talking yourself out of a dark mindset, calming yourself down in public, or like waking up every single day and choosing life. be proud of the progress no matter if it is visible for others or not. you’re doing great, keep up the good work!

Better me challenge

I have set myself on a challenge and like the title implies, it's to be a better person!

At the end of each day I will post the things that I accomplished and also the things I failed in order to keep track of my progress. I will also send tips and tricks along the way, and suggest some of the methods and apps I use to improve my daily life.

I hope you will enjoy this with me 😃

This new year.

Hello! I'm a new blogger around here and I'd like to steal some of your time for reading ^^ Feedback is important to me at this stage so I would appreciate it if you could comment down any improvements you think I could make.

Alright! Let's start!

First and foremost, I'm a 16 year old clueless teenage girl who is about to take the A level exams this year. Last year was supposed to be part of the required 2 years of learning for A level completion but thanks to the pandemic, former school and myself, I learnt only a few things if barely any in terms of academics. I use to be top student but I don't really know how I managed to ruin myself like this.

2020 was a real mess for the majority of people around the globe with me included. My former school was so shaken by the idea of introducing online courses that they did all sorts of stupid decisions before finally settling on WhatsApp and that took 3 months which means we had a gap of 3 months in our brains. In addition, the teachers were lacking experience in the field and it impacted our performances greatly, they didn't really give any clear explanations and would use their native languages with the rest of the class, leaving foreigners like me alone in a corner.

I mainly just gave up and wasted my time on so many useless things, trying to cope with the things I brought myself into. I changed in such a bad way and I lost track of who I was. More importantly, it hurt my mom and there's not a day now that I regret what I did back then. Seeing my mom sad is one of the most heartbreaking thing for me as she is the one that has always tried to make me the best of myself and gave me so much love.

Thankfully, I had God through all this, he was patiently waiting for me to return from my journey of self destruction and he welcomed me back without insulting me or judging me. I got to be someone good for society again towards the end of last year, I remembered that I wasn't the only one who was going through hardships and failures, I remembered that there are people out there who are suffering more than I do, ones who fight for their lives everyday, doing their best to provide for their families, and I came to remember how much family is important.

Last year taught me a lesson "Nothing is ever too hard when you believe in your strength and remember what's most important." I learnt this the hard way though but I'm glad it wasn't easy. I feel more mature now and honestly I've been debating myself over writing these kind of blogs for years but now I think I'm ready.

I want to share with people around the world who might be happy and relieved when they read through, and to the ones who need it. I want to be a better person this year, to finally complete my resolutions and on top I want to nail these exams. I hope that this pandemic will end as soon as possible and that everyone can be happy with the ones they love.

May this yeat be filled with joy and accomplishments, and may everyone get to their goals even if it seems hard.

Remember that every single one of you matters and that you all have the potential to fulfill your dreams and goals if you believe in yourself.

I will try my best to post regularly and share with you my long journey to self-improvement and success.

Bai baii ~
