Make a List of: things you know to be true
Make a List of: things that make you angry
Make a List of: the most unusual things you
do every day
Make a List of: things you no longer
believe
Make a List of: things you should have
learned by now
Write Poetry: with “I remember sentences
Write Poetry: about your heart—not what it
does or who it loves, but the odd and weird stuff it is made of
Write: a love poem … for a non traditional
item or person
I found
this list on one of Sarah Kay’s blog – this wonderful poet I’ve already written a post about! It looks like a fun list and I think that it’ll give me an opportunity
to write about other topics than the EU and languages and money (even though it’s
not about the money, money, money!! J) and EU and languages… Let’s bring
it on!
Make a list
of “things you know to be true!”
I could
start off with the desk, the chair, the printer, that cigarette pack on the
floor… but I think that would be pretty boring. So, let me just dive deeper in
my thoughts…
I know that
family value is true. I hadn’t known what family values were until I was apart
from my family for six months. I went through horrible days and all I wanted to do at
the end was being in the arms of my dad and mom. I thought of funny stuff and
all I wanted to tell it to was my brother. I met wonderful people and I wanted
my family to meet them too. My family is my everything. It took me 22 years to
find that out but today, I’m happy to be around them.
I know that
being all positive and smiley can make other people (even if it’s for a couple
of seconds) happy! If you go across the campus on a cold winter day, I bet you
won’t find more than 2 or 3 people smiling. Why being all grimly if you can
warm up with a smile? That sounds cheesy, right? Whatever, I’m also known for
being cheesy!
I know that
deadlines are not a reason to be dead! Education is important and graduating
with a good mark is always a plus for the start of your career. But should one
be all stressed out and on the verge of a burn-out and not having fun with what
one studies? I love languages and I love writing and I love talking, I love
everything about languages and cultures and I love it so much that I will not
let any deadline and any homework destroy this! So, keep your heads up and take
it slow. I know it is hard but I started and it works pretty well so far.
There’s one
true thing everyone will agree, I guess. Everything has an end: childhood,
school, university, friendship, love, good times, bad times, songs, movies… It is
the sad truth of life but there is one thing you should start learning if you
are still falling into pieces after every end. Accepting and concentrating on
things still going on in your life. This might be a distraction somehow but
keep yourself distracted until you know the pain isn’t here anymore and you’ll be left with memories that make you smile…
I could go
on writing but I think these are my bullet points about things I know to be
true!
Have a
great week!
