Stairs. That's it.

Stairs. Odd things, aren't they? You know that moment when you're walking up the stairs, and you think to yourself (without meaning to), "Oh, it's fine, it's just a normal trip up the stairs.". But no. Just as you think you're doing well, you trip or you miss a step or you think there's another step when there isn't. Sometimes, when we think we are doing well at something, we don't realise the small things. The things like, "Ok, my foot has got to go ABOVE this next step, or else I'll trip and hurt myself." After a while, we just think that we've done so well, we can't do anything wrong. We keep have such high expectations of ourselves and each other that we aim for the higher goals (getting a boyfriend) instead of the ones we know we can complete (not tripping on the stairs). In one little moment when you can think something's going to be great in life for a while, no panic attacks for a while, no friends being mean or stupid, no teachers getting angry, you can forget that there are still the small things you need to remember in order to aim higher. It's quite confusing, but it worked out in my head...

So the moral of this story is to remember the simple things in life. Like not falling down the stairs, for example. Just remember this as it gets up to the winter holidays and some things may not go the way you want them to. Have a good winter holiday xxxx
