Reminder to Keep Moving



My life has been a never ending, gigantic loophole recently: wake up, snooze every alarm, actually wake up, get ready, get on the bus, take a nap, got to school, take a ton of tests, get on the bus, take another nap, come home, get ready for dance, go to dance, get injured, come home again, pass out on the couch, eat, do homework, eventually go to sleep, and repeat it all again day after day. Between all of these same repeated days, I feel completely drained, tired, and exhausted, and wish that I could just be five again: running around and doing absolutely nothing without a care in the world. It feels like I'm doing stuff to just pass the time, but don't know if I'm really getting anywhere. In our AP Lang class we were assigned to read the piece, "The Death of the Moth" by Virginia Woolf. Reading this piece gave me a new perspective to think about in life. The author describes the moth as "small" and "little," but what stands out the most is the fact that she also describes the moth as "marvellous." Kinda contradicting I know, but this is because when the moth falls down, he doesn't stop moving. He kept trying to fight against the inevitable end that he has. This crafted a new concept in my mind to "keep going even when it feels pointless." The moth knew he wasn’t going to win no matter what happens, but he still kept moving and trying his best. So, now whenever I feel like I'm exhausted or tired or completely done, I just have to remember that it is completely okay to not have everything figured out and to keep moving no matter what.
