No, I’m not reviewing my Chemistry 11 notes, but staying positive is something that is hard to do when it feels like the world is crashing down on you (or you). Much like my car, we all need fixing in some way or another, and as content as I am being who I am, I wouldn’t feel at ease if I had nothing I wanted to improve about myself.
