Look! A non-depressing post!

WELL, I JUST DISCOVERED A $25 FOR MACY'S THAT I GOT BACK IN 2013 AND  NEVER USED! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Well, it's still 4 days away, BUT STILL!

That put me in a really good mood.

Today is all about cleaning and purging my files and desk area. I haven't started, but at least I've got the laundry going. Yesterday I did a deep clean of my bathroom, scrubbed every piece of tile. I just don't want to use it now because I don't want it to get dirty (used?) again, but oh well, I do need to shower.

Day 12: Write about five blessing in your life.

Finally! Something positive! I feel like the last week has been all depressing topics!

Ok, five blessings. I guess this means good things in my life? I never understood that term "blessings. Is it a religious thing? Am I a bad Catholic for never really paying attention to the priest or to being blessed? Who is doing the blessing? God? Is there even a God?

Ok things got kinda heavy there.
Five Blessings.


  1. Let's go with the obvious, my family. I have 2 wonderful parents that support me (and tolerate my insanity). My dad is super smart and I learn from him every day, and no matter what life throws at us, he is a pillar of strength. My mom is my best friend and my best teacher, and without her, I don't know what or who I would be. My two brothers are the smartest and funniest guys I've ever met, and I'm lucky and proud to call them my brothers. I lucked out with this family, I really did.
  2. My ability to read. Now I was a late bloomer when it came to reading, I think it was because I switched schools between 1st and 2nd grade, I missed something along there that I wasn't reading books on my own until mid 2nd grade, far behind the rest of my class. But I had a pretty strict and mean teacher whom I loved, and she got me reading pretty fast. Now I can't stop reading, and being able to get lost in written words has always been something that I love. And having the ability to do so (and maybe write a bit too) is a blessing.
  3. My life experiences. Like I mentioned before, I can't live my life thinking what if or if only. But I can look back at the mistakes I've made and learn from them to not make them again. Plus sometimes I find myself giving really good advise.
  4. My taste in things. While I usually look like I just don't care about my appearance (I do need to change that), I've been told I have good taste. From art to movies, music to fashion, I have an eye for what is appealing. And while my personal aesthetic is to just not care, when it comes to the work I do, or to what I'm trying to bring across to another person, or in the things I like, I've got good taste. (Cept for maybe liking some questionable things, but then again it may be that I'm able to find that one good thing in a pile of trash. I'm looking at you "Pearl Harbor". Man, I need to get started on my movie reviews so I can defend liking certain pieces of trash).
  5. My health. I think? I'm healthy, or at least I think I am. Yeah, I have mental health issues, don't we all, but my physical health is ok... I think. I haven't been to the doctor for over 10 years, but I haven't felt the need to? I've mostly gone and seen the dentist and the eye doctor, but I should probably go in for a check-up. Because while I feel normal, I could be slowly dying, but then again, aren't we all?
Decent list. Quick, easy, and not at all depressing, yay!

STARTING...AGAIN?

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. It seems to be a constant trend no? And it’s not like I don’t have the time to update this and actually keep track of… well everything. A routine is what I need, but how do I hold on to a routine when work doesn’t allow me to? Meaning that my schedule varies week to week, and I’ve just started school again (yay?), and I need to start getting my butt into the gym again. Ok. So that’s what I’ll do. I will set a routine, or attempt to. I will sit down either at this laptop or my phone and just write. Doesn’t matter what I write, as long as I put letters together to make words, to then makes sentences, to then make paragraphs, etc etc. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Let’s leave this on a Start

Be a Super.

I'm gonna be honest. I really don't feel like doing this today. I physically do not feel good, and there's a bunch of stuff currently going on behind the scenes that I just don't want to discuss in a public space. It might be like this for a while, so these posts are probably going to be short for a bit. Sorry. Day 2: A person you admire. I think I covered something similar last month, and I think I said something along the lines that people can always let you down so try not to put much hope in other people. And considering how the mighty have fallen all over, its hard to have heroes. So I'm going to go with the fictional kind. I've been reading a lot of old Wonder Woman Comics, and the more I read, and the more I move away from the movie representation (which I love btw), the more I look to a fictional character for strength. And this isn't the first time I do this. It's very easy for me to look to fictional characters for inspiration and str...

Which definition?

Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now.  This feels like an AP English assignment, that is if I'm understanding the use of the word "Conversely". Most white allies would rather not use their privilege for anything other than making a small statement, although conversely some white allies will be kick ass like Jessica Chastain and use her position of power to make sure her costar Octavia Spencer be paid the same as she, using her white privilege for good. That is the standard definition and use of "Conversely" that I am aware of. Or do they mean "conversationally"? In that case: Did you guy hear how Jessica Chastain is totally kicking ass right now? From what I read online, she saw that her friend and co-star Octavia Spencer was getting the same amount of pay that she was getting for the same project. So instead of just stating her objection like most white allies, she actually did something about it. She to...
