Writing, it’s something that usually comes so easy to me. It’s what I do to release stress and clear my mind. Through written word I am able to release my feelings and voice my thoughts. For me, it’s a form a therapy.
When I started this blog at the beginning of the year, I did so with the intent to of recording my life events. There are times when I am more willing to share what is happening in my life and times when I keep quiet about things. Lately, I’ve been fairly quiet about my life. It is not good or bad, it just is. I’ve been very busy between multiple graduations including my own, a cousin’s wedding, work, and other things. It is hard to find time to just sit down and write a blog. Don’t get me wrong, I have still been writing throughout this time. I journal often and I try to write a little snippet each day. Right now, I am currently just experiencing a time of unwillingness to share. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to write about graduation, the pool opening up again, or what I’m doing for fun, but I just can’t. There have been countless times that I have sat down with the intention of writing, but instead put my laptop aside and grab my journal instead. So, for those that have been wondering and asking it is not that I haven’t wanted to write, I have. I just simply haven’t been able to for a while. Hopefully, I’ll be able to write soon. For now, know that although I don’t post much about what is going on, I am still writing. I am just writing for me.

It’s been nearly three weeks since I have posted anything and in that time a number of things have gone on. My cousin & I attended our senior proms, I performed in my very first musical, my brother was confirmed, and I’ve already attended two graduation parties. I have one class remaining that will end on the eighteenth and then I will be finished with high school! Throughout all of this chaos and madness, I’ve had my good days and I’ve had my bad days. When you are dealing with such a crazy time of year it is nearly impossible to have everyday be a good day, but I’ve learned to embrace it all. Fortunately, those bad days have been few and far between. For that, I credit my faith and lots of self-love. My faith is continually growing and I look at each day as an opportunity to grow it a little more. One night I decided to go on a rampage and downloaded over 900 songs from a number of Christian artists on Google Play. Needless to say my phone crashed multiple times during the process. I listen to “Fine Fine Life” by For King and Country countless times a day. I make decisions based on what I want to do. Some nights I will stay out until the morning hours at a party only to sleep in late the next day with no regret. Other nights, I come home early and go to bed. Bubble baths are a common occurrence. Nights are complete with Criminal Minds and peanut butter and chocolate popcorn to follow. My dresser is adorned with fresh flowers that I bought for myself. I often spend time with my grandparents whether we grab a meal or head to the river to fish. Adventures with my mom occur almost daily. Some days we go to the store or out for a walk and others we go out of town to shop. I’ve started to ride my bike places instead of driving because it makes me feel good. I cook myself healthy meals and lay out in the sun. I currently have the appearance of a flaming red tomato due to falling asleep outside more than once. Some days I go to the gym and others I work out from home. There have even been days, like today in which I skip my workout all together (insert gasp here). Yesterday, my sweet cousin was kind enough to let me borrow her dog for a while to go for a walk and play. Tonight, I have been babysitting two adorable children and now they are sleeping soundly. We spent the night playing with Legos and watching a movie while eating peanut butter and chocolate popcorn of course! It may be a while before I post anything again due to the ridiculous amount of things coming up. However, in that time I will continue my efforts to increase my self-love and faith. It’s not always easy, in fact it can be very hard, but it is always worth it. |
