These are the Days

The final day for the #Write28Days Challenge is here! It's been quite a month. New days are on the horizon. #WritingCommunity #blog #amwriting #tired

This post not only marks the end of the #Write28Days Challenge, but it also happens to be the 100th post I’ve made on this blog! I have gone through sporadic bouts of writing on here, but I intend to update it more often, maybe not every single day, but I plan on being more present. This has become a good outlet for whatever is on my mind at any given moment, which seems to be switching from one…

Fools in Motion

I've heard knowing what you're doing is overrated anyway. #Write28Days #WritingCommunity #blog #amwriting #created

I admit it. I’m not perfect, not by a long shot. There is comfort in knowing that I don’t have to live up to some wild expectations. Instead, I have saddled myself with a healthy dose of reality, keeping my head below the clouds. I’m okay with existing on the plane of mediocrity because the pressure isn’t as crippling when there is the undeniable urge for things to go according to plan. Minds…

Anxiety in a Pinch

Days like these, I don't have the answers. #Write28Days #WritingCommunity #amwriting #changing

I’m not even sure if I have the capacity to convey my proper thoughts and emotions right now. My mind feels like mush and my insides are twisted. There are a lot of big, scary things that are happening in the world right now. Life is changing whether we want it to or not, and I don’t know how to take it all in. Stress has overcome my own, personal space at the moment, challenges coming from all…

Mrs. Brightside?

Time isn't always on our side, it's not waiting around for anyone. #Write28Days #WritingCommunity #unexpected #blog

What’s that saying? Expect the Unexpected? That one always gets to me. If you are expecting what is going to happen next, doesn’t that mean it will never be unexpected? That it will never catch you by surprise? If you stop wondering when the big “IT” will happen, and just learn to live, isn’t that the bigger adventure instead of waiting around for something that may or may not come true? I used…

Waking Reality

Dreams and reality don't always mesh together in this messy life. #Write28Days #WritingCommunity #blog

It’s cold, miserable, and snowy outside. I am dreaming of Spring. I know that it’s coming soon and I just need to be patient. Not everyone can afford a “change of scenery” or tuning in to a new environment, so I must make do with what I have. Which is a roof over my head, a furnace that warms and so many good books to consume while I wait. I do this to myself every year too, drive myself crazy,…

Peaceful Confinement

Going nowhere but learning so much. Maybe slowing down is a good thing. #Write28Days #WritingCommunity #blog #amwriting

I am the first to admit that I have become way too complacent with my life. It was never my intention for it to take over, but there is something alluring about the comfort it brings. The stability when the rest of the world seems to be going in the opposite direction. I can see why it would be easy for someone to remain stationary in life, it pulls you in without you really knowing. How can you…

Accommodate Yourself

Going with the flow is easier than drowning. #Write28Days #WritingCommunity #blog #adapt

Adapt. Overcome. It will get better. That’s the advice I have been given when those really bad days start to take a toll. Sometimes it works, and I am able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and sometimes it has the opposite effect. Being human is so complex it makes my head and heartache. There is no one simple solution, instead, we are tasked with trying to find out what works for our…

Fizzle and Pop!

Maybe the point is to remember the past, so you don't repeat it. #Write28Days #WritingCommunity #amwriting #blog

20 days. That’s how long I have kept this posting streak up. I’m pretty sure it’s one of my new, personal bests. Aside from when I was an angsty teenager posting constantly on Livejournal. On that note, this year is also when my 20th High School reunion is supposed to be. That boggles my freaking mind and I’m not sure how to wrap my head around it. It feels like only yesterday I was trying to…
