Day 12
Oxford.. What a beautiful city it is and when better to visit it than after an extremely terrible conference. The conference supposedly revolved around teaching and all I learnt is how NOT to teach. You should not expect people to sit for three hours straight with no break or refreshments, simply talking AT them and showing PowerPoint after PowerPoint.
That aside, the weather was beautiful as was the company. We strolled through the city and enjoyed some punting, book related sights and almost climbed to the top of a church tower (our excuse was that the queue was too long, of course).
What I realised while being in the city was that I really do miss being a student and I would have loved to have studied there. I guess it's still a possibility but above all else, I can still be a student in my own way, taking no each day as it comes and allowing myself to learn from all the experiences life throws at me, be they good or bad.
Day 13
Why do we live our lives seeking the approval of others? We spend so much time trying to fit in, look good and seem better than we really are. We obsess over what we post on Instgram, limit our Snaps, choose our words wisely when we Tweet.. When did we become so superficial that the filters we use are simply façades of deeper insecurities.
It's time to allow ourselves to just be, without the fear of judgement and the evaluating eyes that look for any reason to see us fall and fail.
