The Days I Can't Wait For!

My ukulele I barely play and some flowers I'm not sure of.

Dear future self,


I lay in my bed most mornings not wanting to get up. I wasn't ill nor was I tired but I just felt like snuggling under my blanket not wanting to step foot on the carpet of my room.

Depressed. You can call it being depressed but I call it lack of motivation or no motivation.

I didn't have any motivation left in to me get up and do things I want to do.

It was hard for me because I kept questioning myself whether my life is worth living or am I good enough to live this life.

I hated the feeling.

But, as I was washing the laundry, a sudden strike of happiness hit me right in the heart.

For some reason I was happy because the new sketchbook and backpack I bought online was being shipped to me and my auntie is coming here from Singapore in December.

As weird as it is, those were my motivation to keep doing what I want to do every single day.

That's when I realised that it's those simple little things that motivate us to do what we do and to keep us on our feet. Sometimes, it's not a person or a diamond ring that can cheer us up, but it's those that really matter to us that we keep striving forward.

Future self, let us not forget that motivation comes from what we want to achieve and what we want to see with those achievements that we live everyday for.

It's those moment that we can't wait for that motivates us to leap over the obstacles and get where we want ourselves to be.

Even if it's miles away, we will get there no matter what.


Yours sincerely,
your past self

  1. I sometimes have the same feelings too. But most of my motivation to strive for greater things comes from the fact that I'm turning into a young adult, where I'm forced to do 'adult-ish' things like getting a job or learning to drive. Some of my motivations also comes from my realisation that I'm wasting my teenage years as a shut-in hermit :D
