Dear friend,  Today was no better. I tried to do better, but I kept getting distracted. The day of the exams inch closer and I'm no closer to finishing the syllabus.  Love always, Sinjini 

Dear Friend, My finals are in a week. And I still haven't finished my syllabus. I know, I'm terrible. I tried to study properly, but I keep getting distracted. My mother also scolded me for always being on my phone. So many distractions. And I'm afraid. For the terms. And the results. I know I'll pass, but I remember the fear I felt during my midterms. And I can anticipate the fear I'll feel during the finals. I never want to feel that again. And I'll try from Class 10. No, I WILL NOT feel that fear in Class 10. Love always, Sinjini.

Dear friend, How do you change yourself? Shed all those bad habits you've allowed yourself to nurture? It's not easy. This whole process of disciplining yourself, of trying to be a better person is not as easy of all those Pinterest posts allow you to believe. "fOlLoW tHeSe SiX tIpS tO bEcOmE uNrEcOgNiSaBlE bY 2023". Nope, not that fast. So yeah, it's hard. Especially when you're a student, trying to become academically better. I listened to Sabrina Carpenter's album "emails i can't send" yesterday. The idea behind that album came from her writing these emails to herself when she was undergoing a particularly hard time. I think that is a beautiful idea. Every Ted Talk, every self help book always asks you to record your journey. So this is it. This is how I'll record my journey. The whole 'dear friend' is taken from Perks of Being A Wallflower. But it helps to direct these to one particular source.  So, this is a promise to myself...
