I've sat on my tush for far too long. I've been defeated; I've been elated; I've been depressed; I've been motivated; I've been exhausted; and I've been passionate. I've been through many emotions and circumstances since January of 2018. To say that I'm tired of my life and how I got here is no exaggeration; but, I'm tired of repeatedly failing and feeling sorry for myself. It's time I fight back.
I've taken several, and I mean several, steps back- with a complete, intense, all encompassing, burning fury- to redirect my destination so I can finally get where I've been trying to go.
I am guilty of doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome. Blatantly pushing my way through life with a tenacity of an enraged bull without any control of where it's headed. I thought I would get there eventually, but all I've managed to do is burn things in a circle and curse myself and others around me. It is infuriating but humbling at the same time.
So I've decided to stop being me so that I can become me. What I mean is, I'm changing who I am so that I can get where I want to be and become who I want to be. Starting with this whole website and blog. I love writing and always have. I think it's time to share that in a better light with confidence and to see what doors open and what new journeys I can experience with this outlet.
Every Monday morning I will be writing something nonfiction. Whether it's motivational, thought provoking, reviews or suggestions, anything that I feel worth sharing to hopefully give a different perspective in your life.
Every Friday morning I'll be posting a fictional short story or poem with a painting to match it. These could be lighthearted and fun or deep and mysterious. either way both of these writing prompts will keep my brain sharp and help me express myself in a better way. It's important to always strive to better your skill and that's what this will turn into, a training portfolio of a sort.
Welcome.
