The emotions I feel when noting down ideas and thoughts that happened during the day really makes me understand myself. Just like when I was sitting alone studying for an upcoming exam, enjoying the silence while my pencil danced on the paper. Re-arranging thoughts about the exam and worries – also discarding them as I like.

It reminds me that the challenges I faced shouldn’t result in me giving up and that I should keep going because there’s always a safe place, a light at the end of the tunnel.
