Sometimes Nothing Goes As Planned

Had a massive headache on Thursday :(
Painkiller, beanie&warm clothes combined with one hour nap is the
best cure for me.

I was supposed to post a new EXO portrait today but the last two weeks... Aah, it's been such a mess. I haven't gotten anything done. The only thing I've managed to do is to go to work. Schoolwork, house work and everything else has been left undone. I simply haven't been able to concentrate at all.

It all started when suddenly my dad had to go to the hospital and now I've been down with flue for the whole week. I'm still feeling a bit ill but a lot better compared to last Tuesday when this flue started. The worst thing is the headaches I've been having. They start out of blue and keep bothering me for the rest of the day. Taking painkillers doesn't help.

     I hate when these things happen. I'm the type of person to plan my weeks ahead and if something suddenly changes the plans so that I can't get done the things I had originally planned to do... I really hate it. Or maybe I actually hate myself because I easily start these procrastination circles. If I suddenly need to postpone something I start postponing it again and again and vola! The procrastination takes the best of me.

     It is really stressful to fix things and get back on track. Even now I'm constantly worrying whether I everything done though I've been postponing it for two weeks. And yet I feel like doing nothing. Sometimes I really hate myself. But then again life is life and it's not like this is the end of it. I know things will eventually work out if I don't give up.

     Today I wanted to write this post to release some of stress so that I will be able to do my best starting tomorrow. Since today is Sunday I should let it all go for now and focus on relaxing in order get better. Long time ago I promised myself that Sundays are for relaxation and I must not do anything related to school or work. If you are feeling stressful all the time I recommend you try this "one stress-free day a week" thing because that's been working for me for. It is something a senior of mine taught me and very thankful for that.

One of my favorite English proverbs is "When life gives you lemons, make a lemonade". These past two weeks have proven that when life gives you lemons you really should make a lemonade. Life is too short to stress all the time. I probably got sick because of worrying too much anyway. But can't help it! That's just the way I am.

Anyhow, remember to sometimes just let things go and relax! You'll see the things from a completely different view after having a small break. Till next time!
