This time of the year is one of my crisis periods. I have one week school left and then it's summer holidays! I should be busy with math and physics because I need to have good grades for those subjects. I'm having a fight with one of my teachers so I have to go to detention tomorrow. I'm just relaxing. No stress, no panicking, no fear. This year is at it's end and for me, it's just a day less to live.

Stress. Why does everyone have stress? Some have a lot of stress, others don't. Too much stress makes you sick, sickness can kill you, so stress can kill you. So why do we have stress?

People want too much. Working hard to get more money, teenage kids... (yes even teenagers are the source of stress.) Why don't we relax a little? If you would ask my family how their life is/was, they would say their life was too busy. I even think life isn't busy enough. I'm bored. Still I think we have to live our lifes to the fullest. Enjoy it.

I don't think that many people know what relaxing is. In my country everyone is working hard and they never take a break. Take a break for once! go out walking and enjoy the free moments in life.

I once decided to take a break from all the "stress" in my life. I bought a travel ticket for the whole day and stepped in a random train. I didn't know which way it would go and where I would end up. I saw people staring at me (probably because of my clothes) and everyone was so busy. When I got out of the train I was in Maastricht (south-east of the Netherlands) and I decided to go shopping. Just relaxing. Just enjoying the free moment. I don't really remember how I got back, but I know my family was pretty angry because I didn't have my cellphone with me.

I have to end this text now, because it's way too long! Well, my advice to stressed/busy people: Take a break for once. Everyone needs that. Do something fun, enjoy life... Because life's short enough.
