During the stress of my school work, and after observing the road ahead -- I noticed that stress and the lack of time seems to be never ending. My ideal world would be to simply raise a family and paint, but with the high cost of living in Australia and most of the world, both parents would have to work (and hard) to afford to give their children a good education and a good life. It feels like the society we live in is trying to prevent us to be happy. Depression and anxiety rates are soaring, anxiety due to the constant stress of this world, and depression because of a lack of purpose. This purpose only God can give, but the abundant distractions turn people's heads away from the only thing that can truly fulfil them. I happen to have anxiety, like a quarter of those around me. This was brought about when I placed my value in my grades - when my grades went down, so did my self esteem. I have only the fast paced society to blame, full of expectation and pressure. That being said, I have the power to change that, and should take partial responsibility.
