A week into winter break and I feel bland, bored, and barely refreshed. Christmas was nice, if you're into that sorta thing. If not, I'm sorry, and happy... festive day? Spending time with my small family of three was more relaxing than I imagined, and even though it didn't feel like a holiday, it was still a grand old time. As much as I want to be sitting in bed, curled up watching master chef and eating a frozen chocolate bar, I decided to get off my lazy ass (still pretty lazy considering I've spent the last two hours in a bathrobe) and write. And I promised Ben Jatos I would.
I got an email from my wonderful English teacher today about my narrative essay I had written for her class, and was practically brought to tears by her raving review. I always knew I was good at writing, but she really made it ring true. I love my writing, it's something I take pride and I have a real talent in. Yes, that sounds cocky. But when you literally suck at basic human things such as sports, secret Santa (I actually lost my person, people), cooking (correction.. BURNING mac & cheese), and all sorts of generic talents, it's pretty damn nice to be good at something. Let alone something you love, something that you want to make a career in. I want to do this for the rest of my life. I read people's work and resonate so heavily with their words, and all it does is inspire me to do the same. But I have to actually write to do that. So, thank you. For reading and commenting on this tiny, small, heartfelt blog that I put my soul, thoughts, insights, feelings, and ultimately my words into. It's not much, I know, but it's a start. So happy holidays. Stay safe & do what you're passionate about ♡
