"The Return" by ARK

Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls Day are over. That only means one thing: SCHOOL IS RETURNING.

Now I realized that I made my title a bit Halloween-ish. I guess I am still in the mood for fear and self-torture. I should learn to keep my eyes off of horror movies and scary stories from now on. Because my stubborn inner voice is telling me to succumb to my curiosity. And I do not want that to kill me. I am not a cat, anyway.

Self-discipline is hard to learn. After all, I am the only one who could teach it to myself. That's why it is called self-discipline, right? But see, I really enjoy it when I challenge myself to venture the dark. The only problem is when my imagination kicks in. Classes start on Monday, and it is probably good, so I could keep away from all these temptations.

School is returning. It is time to get busy again and learn things. This time I will try to actually learn things. I have picked up several useful tricks for my future profession within the duration of my college life. But I do not believe I can make it there yet. We should always leave space for improvement. And Ark, do not be so hard on yourself. You can not do everything, so at least do your best in what you can do. Do not put too much pressure on yourself. Most of the things that stress you out only come from your mind. Stop making problems that do not exist. Stop creating them.

This may be applicable to you too, reader. Do not create problems. I once read that if everyone piled up their problems and showed them to the world, we would take ours back. So be thankful.

I will repeat, simply to emphasize: School is returning. I have a mixed feeling about that. I am sad that stressful days are back again, but I must learn to accept that times have changed. From now on, life will be more and more stressful. As I get stronger, the challenges get tougher. Might as well celebrate the fact that there is progress. I am happy that school is about to return. That means I am once again closer to graduation. That's just exciting.
