201 Days of Writing

[201days]

Day 201: January 1st, 2019

CONCLUSION

This has been a good exercise for myself. Some days I wrote more, some days I wrote better, some days I didn’t write. 

The whole point of it was actually sticking to something long enough to finish it and I think it was a wild success.

Reach me at a different blog for 2019.

Day 200: December 31st, 2018

A brand new you, effective tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the first day of a brand new year. Tomorrow you get to become anyone in the world that you wish. Who are you? If you decide to stay “you” share your rationale.

I’d like to be me but richer. Not filthy rich, but with money to spare. I’d like to travel around with a person I care about and not look at price tags. That’s all I’d like.

Day 199: December 30th, 2018

I believe in magic

You have been transformed into a mystical being who has the ability to do magic. Share your new abilities in detail. How will you use your new skills?

I become a self-sufficient unicorn who can disappear on demand.

In any given situation, I can just snap my fingers and disappear to be excluded from the current narrative, and be forgotten about.

Day 198: December 29th, 2018

Brainwave

What’s the best idea you’ve ever had? Regale us with every detail of the idea — the idea itself, where it came to you, and the problem it solved.

The best idea I've had was to move in with my parents again. The plan was to be able to pay off my debts and save money to live by myself in a better place.

It's been going great, for a year and a half and counting 🌗

Day 197: December 28th, 2018

The new school

You get to redesign school as we know it from the ground up. Will you do away with reading, writing, and arithmetic? What skills and knowledge will your school focus on imparting to young minds?

I like the idea of constructivist where students do things and become curious about the topics that are related and from there, teachers can draw formal knowledge.

Teachers will work as catalysts, not as knowledge owners.

Day 196: December 27th, 2018

You’re a winner

You’ve just won $1 billion dollars in the local lottery. You do not have to pay tax on your winnings. How will you spend the money?

This is a luxury I’d love to have.

First and foremost I’d invest half of it in something so I’d never run out - I’d ask for my S.O.’s help with this. I’d travel to the US with my parents and introduce them to her as well.

I’d have a luxurious week when I’d do anything I wanted and buy anything I could without looking at the price tag. I’d go on this luxurious cruise, clothes-shopping spree, pay for my loose skin removal and top surgery and have the best orthopedist see my mom.

$1bi is a hell of a lot money and having invested it, I’d never run out.

I’d buy a weekend’s worth of Disney parks for all my friends and family members and purge on Mickey Mouse & co.

Then, after all of this, I’d take a month off and visit one country in each continent with my S.O, all-inclusive. Just the two of us.

Finally, I’d settle in the U.S. with my parents and make the money work for me just enough to make ends meet.

Day 195: December 26th, 2018

Moment of clarity

Tell us about a time you’d been trying to solve a knotty problem — maybe it was an interpersonal problem, a life problem, a big ol’ problem — and you had a moment of clarity when the solution appeared to you, as though you were struck by lightning.

I don't remember any time like this... I think my life has been pretty privileged... I've been the one causing problems. 

I. CREAtE. MY OWN. PROBLEMS

Day 194: December 25th, 2018

I was here

You are the first astronaut to arrive on a new, uncharted planet. Write the note that you leave to those who come after you.

Funnily enough, I've wanted to be an astronaut at some point in life.

"now that I have your attention, I'd like you to know that there aren't any riches here, so just appreciate the view, take photos and gtfo"

Day 193: December 24th, 2018

The best day ever

You get to enjoy the best day ever — describe in detail what that means to you. Where are you? What will you do? What’s the weather like? What will you eat? Who will you see?

As it’s never gonna happen, I’m allowed to dream it, right?

I think the best day ever, for me, at this moment in my life, would be a day when Y tells me she wants to be with me, and only me, forever. Romantically, sexually and in a document. I wish she would take me out for breakfast at a luxurious hotel where we’d order waffles, latte and scrambled eggs with butter and ketchup.

I’d be wearing a tank top, after the top surgery, nicely fit bermudas and formal shoes. She’d be wearing a nice outfit for the summer in the US. The weather’s clear with beautiful clouds in the sky and she’ll be extra romantic the whole meal, holding my hand and taking care of me, asking how I’m feeling and ordering our food because she knows me so well.

Until the time she’ll excuse herself to the bathroom just as an excuse to stand up, get behind me and get down on one knee, holding a little open box in her hands.

It’d be the ultimate queer fantasy where a woman would propose to a transmasculine nb dude. 

It would be the best morning ever in my entire life. Of course, it’s just a fantasy, though.

Day 192: December 23rd, 2018

The guilt that haunts me

Share a time when you were overcome with guilt. What were the circumstances? How did you overcome your guilt?

Many times. The biggest guilt I have was having put my parents through an abusive relationship I had.

Day 191: December 22nd, 2018

Interplanet Janet

You get to design your own planet: tell us all about your planet — the weather, the seasons, the inhabitants. Go.

The planet has a pinkish atmosphere with bright white clouds. There’d be cold weather, but always windy. The inhabitants would be honest, friendly creatures who would help each other regardless of blood relation. They’d be a worldwide community united for a greater good: World Happiness.

Their skin would be grey and they’d come in all shapes and sizes, but they won’t pay attention to that because they’ll know this is positive.

Day 190: December 21st, 2018

My number one

Who is the most important person in your life? Describe that person in as great a detail as you can muster and most importantly, tell us why you cherish this person.

No, I don't really have just one important person. I guess I'm the most important person in my life.

I know myself pretty well, I have good intentions most of the times, so I'm generally a good person. I put 90% effort to things I really want because I want to save the last 10% in case it doesn't work, so I can pick up the pieces...

[201days]

Day 189: December 20th, 2018

Forgive and forget?

Share a story where it was very difficult for you to forgive the perpetrator for wronging you, but you did it — you forgave them.

I never forgive, I just usually forget... Sometimes deliberately, other times just because of my adhd.

If you did something wrong to me, I will remember and hold you accountable for it while it's recent, but I'll most likely forget 😅

[201days]

Day 188: December 19th, 2018

A random act of kindness

Tell us about the time when you performed a secret random act of kindness — where the recipient of your kindness never found out about your good deed. How did the deed go down?

I don't think I've ever done something like this... Saving this for later...

[201days]

Day 187: December 18th, 2018

Mad as a hatter

Tell us about a time when you flew into a rage. What is it that made you so incredibly angry?

Most likely with my mom or my ex... I don't remember exactly one time because there have been multiple.

My mom might have been talking shit about my past choices and experiences and I didn't know how to ponder without being loud and bratty...

[201days]

Day 186: December 17th, 2018

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch

What is your least favorite personal quality in others? Extra points for sharing your least favorite personal quality in yourself.

My least favorite quality in other is talking too much. I think that's because of my mom who's always talking and usually about negative things... I understand she needs that, but she should hire someone to help her understand her mind...

Day 185: December 16th, 2018

By the skin of your teeth

Share a time when you narrowly avoided disaster.

I avoid disaster everyday by driving carelessly but not dangerously.

I drive really close to accidents but I haven't been a part of any, by my ability to drive and get away with shit.
