Do or do not, there is no try.

Day 17: What do you want to learn.

 It was a long day today at work. I picked up half a shift from a coworker who had to call out due to the flu, so I worked double what I was scheduled. I'm pretty tired right now and either want to sit back and play some video game or just go to sleep. I haven't decided yet.

Which brings me to today's topic, what do I want to learn? There is a ton of things I feel I can learn, an I can continue to grow and learn about the things I know today. But I think the main thing I can focus on is learning more about myself.

The whole idea behind this blog is to find myself, to find Gaby. And by taking time each day to do these prompts and to write about myself, even when I don't want to, I am a little closer to understanding the person I am and maybe finding things I can change or improve.

Self growth by learning about one's self. It's not an easy thing to look at yourself and realize you don't like the person you have become and then actively make a change to fix that. I am constantly putting myself down because of that, but I never take on a challenge I know I cannot complete.

So learning more about myself and the things I can or cannot do, things I can or cannot change, are what I am striving towards.

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...
