Dear July,

I've realised one of the reasons why we feel so rushed: we are always occupied. We occupy ourselves by filling up our schedules with as many activities as possible, in the hope that by doing so many fun activities we can gain popularity or get to know a friend better or to expand our social circle, or just to feel secure with ourselves that we are doing something with our lives. I am no exception. When I open the Calendar application in my phone I always see that it's packed with things and events each day; be it to run errands or to go out with my friends or to do something I've never done before. We occupy ourselves so much that we don't realise how quickly time is passing by. It's already the 12th of July. We've reached the middle of this month when I can still distinctly remember saying to myself, "Oh my, it's already July". The long break is almost over, school is beginning soon and then there will be even more things to be occupied with.

I don't know July, I just think that the rest of you should be spent on mostly getting time alone to myself, because once school starts everything is going to be so fast-paced and I have no doubts that there will be very little time to myself.
