Hi! I’m Back!

Hi there!

I am back after stepping away from blog writing after four years. I started this blog originally as a class project for one of my writing classes junior year of college. After the class ended, I stopped writing on this blog. I’m sorry for that.

In the four years since my last blog post, I lived my life. I got my heart broken. I graduated college (got that BA in English). I went back to my crappy retail job, then quit that job for my first ever full time job. Then left that job due to a toxic work environment, and went back to the crappy retail job. Then I found a nice full time job and finally quit the crappy retail job. Then I lost that nice full time job during the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, I’m here. 10 months into quarantine and I finally found the strength to pull through the heavy fog that is my depression and anxiety to sit down and write again.

Mental health is number one priority.”

So, here I am. It’s almost 2 in the morning and I’m up writing again. It’s actually weird to go back and read my previous posts. It’s interesting to see how much I’ve grown from 21 to 25. I went through so much during those in between years that fully shaped me to the person I am today.

If I could go back to that 21 year old girl, I wouldn’t warn her. She finds out all the fucked up shit later in life. I’ve learned so much about myself from my mistakes, it’s not even funny. I’ve made so many mistakes in my early-mid twenties. I know she’ll kick ass and fall on her ass and get back up. It just takes time. I would probably tell her that mental health is number one priority. I didn’t make mine a priority until senior year of college.

Well, I finally can’t sit still and be quiet anymore. I itch to type on the keyboard again. Get my thoughts out there that’s not on my Facebook or Twitter feed. These past four years taught me that I’m sick and tired of being silent. I have a loud voice and I can’t wait to get all my thoughts out.

Just you wait.

I’m back and so ready.

Quote of the Day

 

I Am “Most Girls”

I heard some of my favorite bands and artists came out with new music. So, I did what I usually do: went on Spotify, searched Hailee Steinfeld and Fall Out Boy, and found out they came out with new music. Since I am shamelessly obsessed with Hailee Steinfeld since she came out with “Love Myself” on the radio, I looked her up first and came across her new single “Most Girls.”

My Top 10 Favorite Authors series (Part 2)

As promised, I would continue my post series about my top 10 favorite authors that inspired me to find my career in writing. These writers are amazing at what they do. They either got me to put down my phone and do something else or they had me see the world in a whole other perspective than my own with their in depth characters and other worlds.

A Sneak Peek into my Writer’s Playlist

Most people listen to music at least once in their life time. As a writer, a student, and person who cannot sit still, I must listen to music while I work. Sometimes it can be distracting. Other times the music is a necessary thing for me to listen to in order to stay focused and be productive.

My Reaction and Feelings towards “13 Reasons Why”

Many of people know about the new series that Netflix came out with a couple weeks ago, 13 Reasons Why. This show addresses heavy topics such as rape, bullying at schools, severe depression, and suicide when seventeen year old Hannah Baker leaves behind 13 tapes telling the story of her life and why she ended it to the people that caused her to end her life. Coming from someone who does not have severe depression but know people who lived similarly to Hannah, I had a lot of emotions and thoughts after I watched the show.

My Top 10 Favorite Authors Series (Part 1)

There are many authors out there that read something and was so blown away that they had to write it down. Then bam! They became a writer. For me it was a different story.

I didn’t gain a love for reading until I entered middle school. Before I used to hate reading because I never could really picture the story in my head. Then I picked up a book and never went back.
