As I begin to write this, I am submerged in a pineapple bath bomb infested tub on the second floor of my family's house. I sip on cheap champagne mixed with a splash of berry juice and think about where I could possibly end up career-wise if I take blogging more seriously. Taylor Swift's words of her most recent album blare from my laptop -- it apparently slipped my mind that I received a bluetooth speaker from Santa a few days ago. Taylor is only a couple of years older than I am and look at how successful she is. I can guarantee being a full-blown pop star is not in the cards for me. I am far too shy and have never once sang a note on key. But, maybe the writing aspect is. This evening my holiday break boredom hit another level and I realized yet again I need to be writing. I mean, what am I doing? A whole lot of nothing. I have so much free time and I am completely wasting it, allowing the post-Christmas laziness to take over.
I tend to type and journal my thoughts about boys who have greatly impacted me as a person. I write about about personal experience and what I know. Well, I decided I need a break. As I prepare for 2018 I hope to focus more of my writing on myself -- what I like, what I think about, etc. rather than how members of the opposite sex screw me up and/or screw me over. Of course, the emotional stuff is the good stuff. I also believe it is important to share honest, deep feelings through writing. Otherwise, what is the point? With that being said, boys are not something I am willing to cut out (in life or writing). A chapter book all about boys is in the works, trust me. But for now -- I am past the point of exhausted and disappointed. Whether I am feeling this way because of ignored texts or messages ranging on both ends of the creepy spectrum, I hope I can learn to care a little less. Social media is a part of my day job as well as something that keeps me entertained. I have fun with it. My right hand may as well be glued to my iPhone. I am not going to move up or forward in the social media world if I do not make some changes. So here we go, consider this step #1. Thank you for following along.
