Anything, but Ordinary

I always thought about what would have happened if I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was in high school, how would my life be now? Would I be more successful because I would have had access to resources a lot sooner? Would I have encouragement from teachers to pursue my interests? Would teachers be able to see my passions and help me get into college? You hear about people who got into specific fields or industries because of a teacher they had in school. They encouraged

There is a stigma about talking about mental health and mental illness. People don’t want to admit that they are struggling. They want to either deal with it privately or pretend that they don’t have anything wrong. The less people know, the better. In recent weeks, I was inspired by Ben Lawson, and I want to be able to do what I can to help people with mental health and mental health issues. Since I’ve learnt that Ben has complex PTSD, I wanted to learn more about it and be

I always wanted to be able to make a little bit of money blogging and I was hoping that it would have happened by now. I’ve looked into how to put ads on your blog, but there are different ways of doing it. I know that I don’t have enough views and readers to be able to live off the income I would get off of my blog, but it would be nice to be able to have that extra coming in. It would be one step closer to getting me into the field I want to get into because there are peop

I know that I’m taking a break from writing, but I always tend to go back to my blog. In fact, when I first started blogging back in 2009, it started off as a daily blog. I wanted to challenge myself in seeing if I was able to come up with a new post every day and at the beginning it worked to a certain point. Looking back, I wish I kept up with it. I felt discouraged to stop because I felt that people weren’t interested in what I had to say. When I say I’m taking a break fr

Because I’m single, I tend to eat out every day. It’s hard for me to plan meals ahead of time because I don’t have someone to cook for or cook with. I don’t have roommates or a significant other, so I tend to eat out. It’s not that I don’t know how to cook, I just don’t have a reason to since it’s just me. I’ll write a meal plan and write a grocery list, but half the time, I don’t actually go to the store even though I live right next door to one. I dread going to the grocer

I went to Disneyland for my 30th birthday in 2017. It fell on a Friday, and I knew that I had to celebrate in Disney. My mom and I made a girls trip out of it and spent the weekend at Disney. She had signed us up for a walking tour called “Walk in Walt’s Footsteps” The heart of the Walk in Walt’s Disneyland Footsteps Tour is an approximately three-hour walk around the only Disney theme park that Walt was able to set foot in during his lifetime. Tour guides use the park as a

You would think of all the times I’ve been to Disney, I would have done a lot of stuff, but there are a few things I’ve never done at Disneyland. I don’t go to Disneyland as often as I would like and with the parks shutting down during the pandemic, it was hard to go. Disney’s been constantly changing. Rides are being upgraded, making room for new rides, it still feels different even if I haven’t been at a Disney park since 2019. It’s something that can’t be helped. Disneylan

I thought that I would be a successful writer. I thought I would have a few books already published. I thought I could bring my stories to life; that’s the world I thought I would be living. I’ve tried countless times to try and outline a book. I’ve tried to do chapter outlines. I really thought that if I had planned, plotted, and organized, I would be able to write a book because I knew where the story was going. In the past, I’ve just written without thinking. I just wrote

I’ve been trying to figure out how to fill my time. Since I’m taking a break from writing, I need something to do. I need to find another way to be creative, but I don’t know what I should do. I don’t know if I should just try a bunch of things to find something or if I should just let a hobby find me. I don’t know if I’ll find a hobby that could eventually turn into a career or would it be a hobby that I’ll get bored with and move on. I’m just in a weird mind set when tryin

I have writer’s block. I can’t seem to get the words out on paper. I have a million ideas for books and screenplays, but I can’t seem to find the words. I keep going back and forth on what I want to work on. I keep thinking that what I’m working on isn’t going to be good enough, making me not want to keep working on it. Blogging is easier for me due to being able to write from the heart, but once I start working on a book, I think it’s not going to be worth putting it out in
