Dear Me In 3 Years

-
 
 Dear me in 3 years, you will be 22 years old, a legal and grown woman; the world will not only look at you differently but your family and society will too and it is in your power to make the right choices and decisions in your life; and you don’t have to be a saint or the most ethical person out there, just be the most authentic you as possible. You have the full freedom to do whatever you heart desires but in bid to achieve and fulfill the life of liberty and self-fulfillment that you have been seeking for a long time, you will have to do things that may scare you; things that make you take the leap of faith and to step off the comfort zone to seek what is on the other side of the doubts, pessimistic thoughts that you may have from time to time but bear in mind you will overcome the gloom-ridden clouds in your head. 
I hope you will never stop the soul-searching, self-reflecting and self-analyzing that you always do and never stop searching for mental clarity for yourself, remember education is fundamental to unlock the door to many opportunities but it is not your life, it doesn’t define who you are as an individual even though you struggle a lot with it as it damages your mental clarity and mental health that you have always been trying to stabilize; just always remember who you are and put on that pair of headphones to block out the demons in your head that is constantly screaming at you. I promise after a while you will eventually come back to your senses and realize that the short-term depression or sadness is temporary but never ignore your emotions instead acknowledge and face it to the fullest.

 In 3 years, I hope you learned that you don’t need validation from others but yourself, still reach out whenever you need help from others, keep in mind there are still genuine people out there who’ll help even if the world grows worse and people are selfish but know that there’s always that special someone will be there for you in your time of need. As for relationships, be true in what you seek and what is needed; be real, authentic and transparent about your feelings with your partner, don’t be afraid and don’t stop yourself from speaking your mind truthfully because you know that is what you want to from your partner as well.

Moreover, the most vital thing I want you, myself to remember in terms of being in a relationship is that, people will always criticize and judge regardless of the circumstances you may be in or who you could potentially be in a relationship with despite their respective identity, gender and the role they play in society. Do not be afraid or have any doubts about the relationship you are in, love is love and it goes way beyond gender regardless if it’s a male or female that you are in love with and be proud of that as love comes in many forms. Keep in mind that love is rare and doesn’t always come knocking on your door so if given the opportunity just grab it because life is short to not experience the purest and authentic feeling that is known to man.
All in all, in 3 years, I hope I won’t have to think about all these again and I will be the better or best version of myself as I possibly can be.

A Dark Hallway

InkSpill Competition - Writer of the Month!  [Goodness] In the dark hallway, I see a light. A light so bright, I cannot shy away. I see hope, I see promises. Up the slope, I climb, I am astonished. Astonished by the goodness, Admonished was the ID. In a game of chess, Two winners are forbidden. Who should win in this hallway? The ID or the Superego? Should your conscience be prey? Kill your inner Draco. [Temptation] To be feared or loved? To be supreme or to rust? Even an angel was shoved, It’s now the power that I lust. In this hallway I see passion, Fires of ambition and refashion. Inn for the Machiavellis, Choirs of glory awaiting me. Respect is what I demand, Power is what I crave. I give thee to command, Thy obedience is what I enslave. [Consciousness] In this dark hallway, My brain is beating. Who should come out to play? I don’t want them to compete. To embody Heyoka or Machiavelli? That is my constant battle. Written By: Hannah Ee (StudentInk 🥺🤍)

The Year I Peaked

My Prime Year I was scrolling my Facebook feed when this showed up in my Facebook Memories. This particular picture taken from Mass Comm Society’s official Facebook page from 2018 from their album titled “Hollywood Night: Trip Down The Memory Lane.” If memory serves me correct, this was the second Member’s Gathering by MCS that year, and the one thing that attracted me to this picture was my long hair tied up in a ponytail. My hair was also thick, which is a far cry from my thinning hairline today. Seeing me in this form today instantly triggered something within my brain and made me come to the realisation that 2018 was the year where I was in my prime – something I definitely have taken for granted, or that I have completely forgotten considering what I ended up going through between then and now. I wasn’t a wealthy man, but I had pretty much everything a teenager could have fantasized – long hair, loud car, lots and lots of good times. I prioritised fun above all else. A Rebel W...

Our Origin

Have you ever wondered? About what, you may ask? About the language we speak? Isn't it strange that everyone around the world, ourselves included, simply put our trust into the people who taught us the language that we speak, write and even think in? When we were growing up, we blindly believed the information that others may have told us. And when we questioned them, some valid reasons were provided but most often, we were told that we'd understand when we grew older. But, for some unknown reasons, I still question many things in life, simpler ones such as colors, for instance. Why is blue called blue? And green called green? Why is anything named and called the way it is? Thus, in my opinion, our culture has shaped humankind into what we are now. These information had its origins and were passed down for generations till it reached us today. It's very easy to forget our roots when we're so caught up with achieving and completing our daily tasks. It...
