This life philosophy just came to me. I hope it helps someone or at least creates a meaningful discussion.  I think in life it is the small choices that determine who you are. Whether you do wonderful things for the world or terrible is not determined primarily in one big action you take, but the little steps. Great people are not born in a day and neither are Monsters.  It’s those little daily choices you made to say something nice or say something mean, to tell the truth or a white lie, to control your urge for the easy route and do that slightly harder thing instead, that create your path.  These little choices will take you to the place where you can do things you thought were impossible for you.

Instead I just want to stay quietly in my friends room ranting to cyber space. Surely there must be another way to calm down when you just don't have the time to go to the gym/ don't have the nerve to start doing jumping jacks in front of your study partner. Maybe that's why I should study alone.
