I experienced something today. It was almost like an anomaly, a profound mystical understanding. On this journey to the center of the soul, I guess some people call it life, the universe threw me a life preserver. It's almost as if it was saying, "Don't give up. There is definitely someone out there who truly understands you. Someone who holds genuine interest. Today, I'll give you a taste, so as not to perpetuate the eventual careening of your psyche down the rabbit hole of madness. No. Today, you will see."

And right now, in the position I'm in, I needed that sample. Of course, "life" as they call it will continue, but that which has been laid before me is the first stone to the building of a solid bridge. A bridge that leads to real happiness, that lacks any type of judgment or materialism. One based solely on pure affection and the melding of one soul to another.

Yes, there is hope. It just so happens that, as Stella has so often expressed, it lies in the kindness of strangers.

This has been quite a year. Iโ€™ve made some horrible decisions, and Iโ€™ve made some good grades too. Iโ€™ve been on a rollercoaster of emotions and the ride has definitely been nauseating. I say that with all honesty, some of the decisions Iโ€™ve made had made me sick to my stomach and Iโ€™ve done nothing but hate myself. Not this year, though. 2021 is going to be dedicated to losing the weight I put on this year by running 500 miles by the end of the year. Hopefully Iโ€™ll have my ASL degree in hand and start working on the next one. Letโ€™s add to that have a job that is at least related to the career field Iโ€™m currently pursuing.

Only 2 more weeks of school left in this semester! Better yet, I should only have 1 semester left before I graduate! (I haven't spoken to a counselor in a while but I'm pretty sure all the credits are there!) I'm trying to decide what career field to go into, as I've always had an interest in working for myself, but I am well aware that I'll need further schooling to chase that dream. I'd really like to be a personal trainer, but you'd be surprised at how many deaf people really aren't into physical fitness.

Aside from that note, I have this thing where I spend too much time doing something, I start to lose focus. I become really uninterested and I don't really care what the outcome is, I just want it to be done. I am, of course, referring to school. This is the second year I've taken classes both semesters, and I am just starting to fade. The fallout from this is that my grades suffer and, in turn so does my GPA. I just can't stay on task!!! I go through different epoch's within the year, all of which start out with me giving 110% then slowly downgrade as time goes on. It's so frustrating!!! Part of me wishes that I could get a whole class done within a month and call it good, but that's just not the way the world works. It's just not catered to small-minded ADD folks such as myself. I feel like I'm never going to succeed, and I'll never have a meaningful career, and that thought alone makes me feel so despondent. Then when I look for jobs I'm overwhelmed and I just want to give up on the whole idea of being responsible and having a job or a career. I'm not sure that I deserve one.

I don't have a plan. I don't have goals. I live from day to day, like an animal. I have a mental block that prevents me from thinking long-term. I have a husband that spoils me, even though I'm constantly being harassed to get a real career. That, alone, adds pressure. Not to mention how maddening it is, also because when he has questions about what I'm going to do, I get upset because I don't have answers.

Prompt: "Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art." ----Frank Lloyd Wright. What do you think is the true value of art?


As an artist, (not really the kind that paints pictures but I still craft things, as well as being a writer. I consider those things artistic), I believe the value of art is priceless. When an artist gets a vision, the idea itself isn't worth anything until the artist can turn it into something that can physically be enjoyed. Art is a window into the mind of the artist as well as evidence of how we all perceive things differently. Art separates us from reality and has the power to take us into the mind's eye, which no scientist has the ability to do. Therefore, you can't put a price on something that cannot be measured in terms of material. It is priceless.

"Blog City Prompt Forum
Prompt: Since we have such short lives, what is wrong with us people to even have the concept of boredom? What is your take on the subject?


Having ease to just about anything we could ask for is, in my opinion, the reason boredom exists. We say to ourselves, "I can do that whenever I want, just not right now," speaks to the notion that we have unlimited time. If there's one thing I actually learned from my economics class, it's that our resources are limited, which includes time. But since we've become so lazy thanks to drive-thru restaurants and television, (only to name a couple), there's one thing that aids in our boredom. Thanks to television, we can sit on the couch all day and not have to lift a finger in order to be entertained, and yet it's still boring. We say to ourselves, "I'm bored, I think I'll watch tv." But that doesn't really solve anything. It just occupies the mind so we don't think about all the things we could be doing in lieu of sitting on the couch. It actually takes effort to get out and do something. Why not opt in to just watching the tv? It doesn't use as much energy as going for a walk or building something. Lastly, I'm reminded of something my grandpa used to say: "If you're bored then you must be a boring person."

*Turtle2*___Today's 5K contributed to saving the Sea Turtles, so my blog theme for today is dedicated to them___*Turtle2*

The funny thing about running is that it's one of the greatest ways to do cardio and exercise your heart. Yet, I go to the gym and most people are most focused on lifting weights or using the workout machines, and if you mention running to most of the people who go there, they recoil in terror as if they would rather get slapped with a piece of bologna. It's probably one of the cheapest exercises you can do (besides push-ups and sit-ups, sans the shoes you need) and yet no one wants to do it. What's even funnier is that some people claim to be runners but then when you ask them to run with you, they get scared and run away instead lol. Oy. I guess that's probably the best thing about running. It doesn't matter if I have to do it alone, because even if someone was with me it would still feel the same considering I like to zone out with the headphones to keep me in the zone. It is what it is!

My compliments to the condiments, and for the greatness ketchup brings to the table, for the bitterness enjoyed in the mustard, and the cholesterol left by the mayonnaise! May you bless every hot dog and hamburger in the world!! My sister always calls ketchup the "magic sauce" and maybe it is. Frankly, though, my magic sauce is ranch dressing!

Prompt: Write about letting your guard down.


All too many times has this happened. I let people into my life, and sooner or later they end up taking advantage. As soon as I let my guard down, they sense that I feel safe and comfortable. Then all of a sudden lady drama has to show up and make the whole party about her. It never seems to fail, and it also makes it very hard to make friends. I have so many trust issues it's hard to believe I even have a husband. Truth be told, I don't even trust him, sometimes.

Prompt: "All the darkness of the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle." Saint Francis Of Assisi Use this quote in your Blog Entry today.

I feel like I have an understanding of this quote. As time continues, this pandemic turns people into animals. Rudeness outweighs courtesy and everyone is only concerned about themselves. And yet, as the world bears down on me I feel like I am in control of my own destiny. If I let the negativity of the world affect me, then I lose. As an Aries, I refuse to lose and therefore I refuse to let that darkness destroy the light within myself.

Prompt: It's Veteran's Day here in the U.S. November 11, 1918, was regarded as the end of โ€œthe war to end all wars.โ€ Let's express our gratitude to those who served to protect us by writing a thank you.

As prior-service Army, I suppose I'm considered a veteran. I never saw any wartime and was never in the heart of any real danger, it's hard to see myself that way, but nonetheless I still want to say Hooah to my fellow battle buddies who experience all the horrors one can never prepare themselves for. Hooah!!! And Happy Veterans Day!! You'll be forever cherished for the sacrifices you've made, or will make, in keeping our country's freedom intact.

The first time I ever heard of a Virtual 5K, I scoffed! I said, "What? Is it like a video game? Do I log the collective number of miles I swiped on my phone?" Lol, I think that's the writer in me, taking a simple phrase and turning it around and upside down. *Hysterical**Rolling* Now that I know what it is, I've got the fever! I can't wait to contribute to various charities and at the same time collect some sweet medals, all the while staying in great shape! By the way, they've got some pretty interesting medals, nowadays, and they're HUGE!! I've got that fire!!

Prompt: โ€œNothing changes. The bones of the mammoths are still in the earth,โ€ says Adrienne Rich in her poem, End of an Era. What are your thoughts on what she says?


What I feel from this message, says something more than 'nothing changes.' Because things are changing all the time. How we develop and evolve as humans are constantly changing, as is our environment, our DNA, and the space-time continuum. 'The bones of the mammoth are still in the Earth,' because that's where they belong. A time long forgotten, buried under millions of years of change. How is that not change? The fact that mammoths no longer exist seems like a huge change to me. They were unable to adapt to their environment in order to survive, but we were. We changed, and continue to change. It's kind of like how they say that a man can never change, which I don't believe that either. Men change, especially when it comes to how they see themselves, perhaps realizing they are inferior. Change is all around, the bones have been laid to rest, unmoved due to the nature of change, yet even in their resting place the bones are changing still, solidified and preserved by sediment; their chemical nature continues to change, and will change forever until the end of time.

Prompt: "When all the world appears to be in a tumult, and nature itself is feeling the assault of climate change, the seasons retain their essential rhythm. Yes, fall gives us a premonition of winter, but then, winter, will be forced to relent, once again, to the new beginnings of soft greens, longer light, and the sweet air of spring." Madeleine M. Kunin
Use this quote to inspire your blog entry.


I think rhythm is the most important word in the segment. The seasons keep their rhythm regardless if the trees egress into hibernation, or if the sun becomes further away causing the environment to chill, animals to hibernate. It keeps going, as it has for millions of years. And, as I said in the previous response, it will continue to change, forever. Well, forever is a mighty long time, and for all we know the world could end tomorrow. But most likely it won't. It'll keep it's rhythm, as it has for as long as we know. All we can really do is try to stay warm, enjoy the company we have, and wait for springs warm and blossoming and sweet embrace! We begin again, even though we never ended.

Prompt: What do you dread most about parties?

Everything! I don't know what's worse, trying to go to a party or hosting one. Personally, I think I'd rather host one. But in order for that to be successful people have to have similar interests with you and feel comfortable enough to go to your house. Then, there's going to parties. Most of the time, I don't know anyone. That makes it awkward because let's say I did know some of those people, at least we might have some kind of rapport as a basis for conversation. But no, it's never like that. I get to spend the whole evening listening to someone ramble on about their shitty life and their problems, but there's no back and forth. I basically end up playing the psychiatrist all night long, and that's very tiring because I'm not even getting paid for it. BOO!!! Oh, and let's not forget those horrible high school parties. On one hand, I just want to have a good time and get shitfaced, but then there's that dreaded moment when I'd want to pass out but can't because I know that I'm gonna get fucked with if I do so. My solution to that? Pass out in the bathroom. I can lock the door, puke all I want, and not have to wake up with a bunch of penises drawn all over my face. Overall, though, I think the thing I hate the most about parties is the feeling of claustrophobia. Knowing that if shit goes down, it'll be a drunk-fest of panicky animals, and depending on how much I had to drink, how capable I'd be of sorting through the mob to protect myself as well as not being sober enough to just drive away. I feel the same way about going to places like clubs, especially in Vegas. FYI- VEGAS IS OVERRATED!
