Now thinking about it, I had the same attitude even before this stage, at GCSEs. I have one half empty sketchbook from year 9, and many creative projects that I had stopped doing from after year 8.

I am now on the verge of 18, but looking back at 14, 15, 16 ... I didn't make the most of my free time, didn't enjoy studying as I could have, didn't make the most of those years.

Continuing in the same way now would just mean my all my years are just a run up to when I get a job and make a salary. I will begin living my life after the age of, say, 35. Which defeats the purpose of everything.
