We loved The Hate U Give! If you are looking for more books about activism, social justice and race or about finding your voice and being on the outside looking in, check out some of these great reads!
This week on the main blog I’ve started AKWARD CLASS FAVORITES 2017 and I have to say that I’m really enjoying the work I’ve put out so far. This is the most active I’ve been over there, this year, outside of Song Of The Day that I did back in September. I have actual to-be-put-up drafts and am probably going to stretch this all out into next week. It’s either the end of the year hype or the fact that I have stress-free content ready to be created and put out there. It feels nice to be this on top of things, blog wise.
I believe I try absolutely way too hard on the Awkward Blog and that’s why it fails me sometimes. I think my goal for 2018 when it come to Akward is to not think so much, but at the same time put out content that 1) makes me happy and 2) I’m proud of. I love my concert posts, but I stress myself out with the editing pictures part that I don’t post as much of them anymore. And that sucks because I only went to about 6 or 7 shows this year if you count both Emo Nites. Anyway I really just want to take the pressure off of myself and remember that I started this because I thought it be fun. I am interested and am having fun, so I want to keep it that way.
Hope you’re all having a great day, evening or whatever when you read this.
There's a big f*cking world out there. It's messy, and it's chaotic, and it's never, never ever the thing you'd expect. It is okay to be scared, but you cannot allow your fears to turn you into an a**hole, not when it comes to the people that love you, the people that need you.
