stupid things i've done - 1

The bus incident:


It was on the 27th of June, 2017, that I spaced out in the wrong place at the wrong time. You would think that once a person's remembered a route and gone on the buses countless times, they couldn't possibly end up in a completely different place...

 I left my house in the pouring hail and paced my way to the bus stop 10 minutes away. By the time I had reached it, I was drenched and I could feel the water in my shoes :/ I sought shelter under the stop and sat there for half an hour, somehow patiently waiting for the bus to arrive while strangers raced past, gripping their umbrellas in the weather. To be honest, I love hail, but only when I'm not being attacked by it. It felt like more than half an hour had gone by when I squinted and made out the shape of the big, red bus and uncomfortably climbed my way up to the top deck.

The hail ended in the 30 minutes I was on this bus, so I was lucky when I got off at the last stop. The luck disappeared as I realised I had to wait an extra ten minutes for the next bus, so I decided to roam Tesco while waiting. When I came back out, the sign by the bus stop stated that the '93 is due' and I consequently got onto the next bus that came. 20 minutes later, I peered out the window and had no idea where I was. 'This isn't Morden?'. The realisation hit me when I saw Sainsbury's and, for the life of me, I had no idea how I'd ended up in Tooting. As it turns out, I got on the wrong bus and was left to retrace my steps back so I could get on the right bus. A one hour journey ended up taking 3 hours in awful weather! I'm glad to say that that is never happening again.

how music crept into my bubble

Hearing people say that music is just a 'hobby' or just a 'passion' can get slightly annoying. What if music was more than that? A lifestyle, a  religion . Nothing can grab you the way music does. My attention spam is 15 minutes maximum but the unimaginable formation of so many instruments to create one phenomenal piece is enough to have me hooked for days on end. Over the past few years, we've seen an immense number of songs being released on all sorts of music platforms; some are appealing while others aren't. One thing we have to remember is how everyone's music taste differs. I constantly find myself insulting rap music that classmates listen to but have to stop and remind myself that there are always going to be certain songs I don't like. You never know when that song could appear in your playlist as a straight  bOp ! As a child, I attended a Christian primary school that sang hymns all the time and had mini discos every year. To this day, ...

high hopes

Discovering new things and keeping your options open is a great way of living, but what do you do when you've tried a variety of things that you can't imagine yourself pursuing as a career? A few years back, when I loved reading, I had so much fun writing short stories in school. Because of it, I  wrote my own stories on Wattpad (don't try looking for them: they've all gone ^-^) Reading back on them, I realised what a laughing stock they were.  For about a week, I had a sudden urge to draw so I looked through the internet for inspiration and spent almost every minute drawing. It didn't start off too good but there were some subtle signs of improvement. However, people telling me to do more put me off so, me being stubborn, I decided to do the opposite and stop drawing as it wasn't as interesting anymore 😂  After that failed,  I spent some time trying to learn how to play the guitar, until it didn't seem as exciting as I thought it would be, especiall...
