Life is a chore

I live life like it just needs to be done without reason. Like you breathe without wondering, you have inborn fears, you like some things and others you just don't. My life has a purpose, or did I just create it, so I didn't have to wonder about it? But I wonder about it, Life. I'm worried that I'm telling myself I'm living but its only because I'm already at half my breath, so I have to let the air in, there is not much choice.

Super duper sorry I didn’t post yesterday D; 

I had a huge migraine, I almost passed out. It was terrible, but I watched SU and felt better. Ate some poptarts too :> 

Anyways, my birthday is getting so super duper close. I’m almost at 2 weeks! Big yikes. 

Also thinking about going camping with my friend. Dunno yet though, but it could be fun. 

Okay, that’s it for now lmao :>

Gratitude

Don’t just make it a once in awhile thing... wake up each morning and go to bed each night with a heart full of thanks and gratefulness. Even in the worst situations, find the good.

Dear Diary,

GROWTH

Many are confused when it comes to dealing with self growth. Some people feel themselves changing while others only realizing they are changing when someone else points it out. Over the years I have become vulnerable to growth. I learned to outgrow certain people but also learned that I can’t leave certain people. I learned that everyone has their own pace to growth, and their own road to pave for change. Sadly, it’s hard for me to grow old from certain things like ex lovers, old habits or past friendships. It’s hard for me to move on when all I know is to help or fix. People normally blame their lives on their surroundings but 2017 made me realize that it’s not my surrounding that change me. It is me that has the power to  change my surroundings. I am trying to become a strong believer in change, hopefully by 2018, I will be able to accept the fact that we need change in order to GROW!

NaNoWriMo

Can you believe it, friends? It’s already that time again. I feel like I had already failed to complete my last NaNoWriMo and here we are again, the first of November, empty Pages documents crying to be filled. If it hadn’t been for a friend who posted about the writing event on Facebook, I may have entirely forgotten - which would have been shameful as an aspiring writer.

This year, however, I’m approaching this 50k hurdle with a far different mindset. In the past, I always concerned myself with the plot, world-building, and development. While I found stories in me that I hadn’t previously known I was capable of, I hadn’t even finished NaNo. After discussing with a friend what she and I would be covering this year, I was inspired to take a new approach.

I didn’t want to fail another year. I’ve always allowed my excuses to rule my writing, especially in college. Now that I am graduated and my wedding is behind me, free time is just begging to be of use. Determined, I set myself down while my husband cooked dinner and forced myself to tackle a day in the life of a character I had long had in mind. Rather than force him into a plot and story, where the character and the action could clash, I’m simply recording a typical day with no plan. What will happen? Will his girlfriend break up with him? Will his best employee quit? Will the end of the world come crashing down? Who knows. I don’t, that’s for sure.

But that’s the fun part.

Honestly, I’ve tapped myself out for the night. While I love writing, today has been rather tiresome and my inspiration was sapped by those first thousand words for my Inkt story. Luckily enough, I chose to write not only with the setting of Alaska and on topics of interest. Surprisingly, throwing caution to the wind is currently working out. My “protagonist’s” head space is a fun one to explore.

To finish this entry, I wish to send as much luck and well wishes to my fellow NaNoWriMo writers. You’re all amazing and skilled, and accomplishment is just weeks ahead of us. Do not let the excuses weigh you down like they have me for so many years! 50k words are achievable - hell, I’ve done it in other aspects of my writing career. Put on your thinking caps, set yourself to work, and let the story write itself. Feel it out, let the characters speak, and when you’re not writing - read. Your peers are a font of knowledge and inspiration waiting to be explored.

Gray for Days

All it takes to convince me the sun will never shine again is two straight days of gray/rainy weather. That’s it. I don’t think it rained once in the entire month of August, and then maybe once in September. We’ve had two gray days here in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and it’s getting chilly outside, and I am convinced that I will never see the sun again.

I was just watching fireworks in my backyard ten minutes ago, and now the heat is on and if things keep going this way, I’ll be digesting Turkey in a half hour, and in forty-five minutes we’ll be ringing in 2016 and frankly, I’m not ready. This has been a full year and 2016 promises to be even fuller, with the birth of my nephew and the wedding of my best friend both on the horizon. I am excited, and I am nervous that it will all fly by before I get a chance to drink it all up, and file it all away in my memory for rainy days like today.

My mom always told me time would start moving faster when I got older but lately, the days drag and the weeks fly, and I am at the mercy of the calendar and the clock.

It's been a few days. I don't want to lose the momentum I've got built up. Rob is here tonight watching Naruto with me. He's never seen most of it, it's nice to re-watch it all, including filler. I do kind of wish life was more like anime, but then we'd have to deal with shit being destroyed on a regular basis haha

Keeps me up

It felt like an hour that I lay here wondering why this matters. Surely it has only truly been a few minutes. I wish I could just fall asleep next to him, but I cannot get over that the sheet is the wrong way. It's upside down and backwards. Now this may not be the core reason why I cannot fall asleep tonight, but it surely isn't helping. Slowly I run my fingers along the edge of the sheet looking for the change in stitching for the part that belongs at the head of bed.Then like a ninja I try to flip it over without waking him from his sleep before I find mine.

A short one

At Starbucks for wifi since we have to wait for setup at our house.  Long periods of time without internet is pretty tough but at least it's easy to find other things to do.  I feel almost foreign to Riverside even though I have lived here for 3 years.  I catch myself wondering about her, but not sinking in sadness about it.  It's hard not knowing anything, but it's the strength I want to maintain that keeps me going.  Hopefully meeting new people tomorrow at a neighborhood gathering thing.  I just miss her.  Just a small cluster of thoughts today.  I don't plan on sitting outside Starbucks this late.

Whoever you are or whatever you are... just know that in someone’s story/life, you’re a villain.

But hey, at least you have someone wasting their energy and time remembering and thinking about you.

Believe.

If you would of told me a year ago I would be here today, I would of laughed in your face. But since stepping in front of that camera I found a new home and purpose. With a new goal in mind and nothing holding me back Im going for it. One foot in the door, I'm here to make a change in this industry for a new and positive outlook of beauty. As a woman now I understand and know the hardships a young woman goes through as we grow up. From self-image, to abandonment, abuse, and everything in between. It wasn't as planned or as easy, but I've made it to here I stand today and Proud.

Join me in my journey (:

The Real Me

When you imagine and plan your life with somebody, You never expect betrayal coming. Not this way, and with a blink of an eye all our visions are now burried. Our moments are now memories. So I cry everytime I watch, read or hear something emotional. But truth is I'm crying for us, because I never had a chance to. I wanted to be strong so I never admitted the pain that you caused me, I never cried out loud, so I cry in the inside. Not solely because my pain, but because the trust you broke. I invested my life in you, I said yes and was ready to walk down that aile. Now I'm left with no explanations, alone in the outside struggling to piece my life back together. Find who I am as a woman. 

The betrayal has shut part of me down, and I hope I feel whole again soon. I want to find hapiness within myself because I'm tired of pretending and guessing myself. Its a constant battle when I have different sides of me that come out and none feel like just me. Theres always a title in front of it. I only get glimpses.

My walls are now so thick, Not even a bulldozer is getting through &its sad. It should't be this way.

Can I just ask why?

xoxo,
