| Why is it that I can't just dedicate myself to something? Writing, school, exercise, etc. I can just never do something for a prolonged period of time without losing interest, but then I come back to it and I feel like I've lost everything I gained when I was into it beforehand. For example, at the beginning of the school semester, I'm totally engrossed with it, I turn all my assignments in on-time, then right about when midterms are due, I feel overwhelmed and ready to give up. Luckily I care too much about my GPA to give up entirely, but still. Why is it that I can't put forth the same amount of energy as I did 8 weeks ago? The same goes for every other hobby and interest I have. It's like my life is a testament to the adage "jack of all trades and a master of none." It's maddening ___   ____________"Blog City Prompt Forum"  Prompt: Creative Writing: Imagine you are lost on a deserted island, or in an unexplored forest. What would you see and do? The two scenarios would require different actions. If I'm on an island, the main quest would be for water, and some kind of fishing apparatus, building a shelter, and other survival necessities. It would be extremely sunny, or on some days it would be the opposite, torrential rain and wind. I might possibly create a raincoat from some giant leaves. If I were stranded in the forest, I might try to find a way to harvest water from within the trees, build a shelter from as many branches I could find, as well as trying to start a fire. The forest would be lush and rich with the smell of pine, and I would hope that there were no ravenous animals out to get me. Like bears. That would be something, and now that I think about it I would probably prefer being stranded on an island. |

Congratulations on your 1st Writing.Com Account Anniversary!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/achievements-Writing=46Com__1st_Anniversary.gif) ___ __________________"Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" Prompt: Do you feel like you belong in your generation, or do you have an old soul? I definitely feel like I have an old soul, not just because I feel it in my heart but also because I've been told that by older people. I feel it too, and accept it because I was raised by an older person (my grandpa), and more often than not I'm always hearing his words coming out of my mouth. I still understand the mindset of my generation but part of me wishes we could live in a simpler time. ___ __________________"Blogging Circle of Friends " Prompt: Finally, it's Friday. What brings you joy on Friday? For me, when my kids were home, we had pizzas and binger watched movies. Now, that's it 's Vic and I we play games while listening to music. I really look forward to playing chess. So what about you? Weekends are meaningless when you're unemployed  but I will say this... Fridays are my day off from working out so it's great to look forward to a day where I'm not punishing my body. ___  ___ |
| I just had to share this video that recently came out. It really speaks to those whose mind takes them to crazy place when they're trapped within it. [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] |
| Sometimes life is so damn frustrating. People are in your life for so long, then you come to find out that none of it mattered, and you could have spent your time on people who actually would have been more than happy to be a part of your adventure. Petty squabbles lead to falling out of a friendship that lasted years. In the end, you're left with nothing to show for it. Guess it's just time to purge and start over with people who actually get where you're coming from. You can't be who you want when you're surrounding yourself with people who don't hold the same values or aspire to achieve the same goals as you. I know I have to accept that which I cannot change, but I just don't know where to go from here. Time to be alone for a while. That's usually when I get the real work done. |
| [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] This song really speaks to me because when I look in the mirror I just see someone who's not happy with herself and the decisions she's made over the years. The storyline suggests that when listening to this song, one should look at themselves in the mirror. She couldn't have been more accurate. Lyrics: I'm feelin' the way that I'm feelin', I'm feelin' with you (Ooh, ooh) I stare at the girl in the mirror, she talks to me too [Chorus] Yeah, I can see it in your face You don't think I've pulled my weight Maybe it's time for us to say goodbye 'cause I'm feelin' the way that I'm feelin', I'm feelin' with you I'm not havin' fun tonight ___  _____________________"Blogging Circle of Friends " Prompt: Write about June. What is your favorite part of the month? What is you least favorite part of the month? My favorite part of June is that for one, school is over! For two, summer is just around the corner! That used to mean beach time and fun in the sun, but with all the riots and protesting going on, it seems as if it may be a while before I get to have that experience again. People are ruining everything because of all the fear and hate, and I have a feeling that it's affecting me physically. Just all the negative energy in the air, adds to my anxiety. I don't even want to go to the grocery store. The least favorite part is that, in the desert, it will start to get excruciatingly hot and where I live it's really hard to battle the heat! ___ _____________________"Blog City Prompt Forum" Prompt: What is “longing” to you in general, and what do you long for? I long for peace among people. I hoped that this pandemic would bring people together, but it seems to have done the opposite. It reminds me of that old saying from the Star Wars movie, "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." I long for the day when we can skip to the end of the Hunger Games Saga where Katniss and Peta have their little baby and the world around them is nothing but calm and peacful. ___ _____________________ |

| This song really speaks to me. Sometimes I just want to cry until there's no more fluid left in my body. But as the song says, "I'd rather be dry but at least I'm alive." [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] ___  _________"Blog City Prompt Forum" Prompt:: Love. Home. Joy. Use these words in today's Blog entry. I'm continuously looking for my place in the world. I feel so lost, and nothing ever seems like the right move. To me, it seems that unpredictability is my way of life, and it's hard to live that way when you know that making plans is never the answer. Do I even deserve love? Do I have a true home? Most of the time, I feel like I have a never ending wanderlust. To me, the joy of life means not knowing what's coming next and just feeling alive by living in the moment. ___ _________"Blogging Circle of Friends " Prompt: Use spirals in your entry today. Like for instance, in our DNA, the galaxies, in a coiled tendril of a vine, or the tracery of a fingerprint, it's your blog have fun with all the spirals in our world. Spiraling out of control. That's how I feel. Like the spiral of the hypnotist, dazed and confused. Hypnotized by the constant spinning of the Earth and the planets around us. ___ _________ |
| [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] I heard this song for the first time today! Thought it was pretty relevant to my life right now. ___  ___ _______________"Blogging Circle of Friends " Prompt: "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." Bob Marley Let this quote inspire your blog entry. Sometimes its hard to deal with the life you're given. Constantly questioning what the point is and why most of us don't just simply put an end to it whenever we want. Why are we here? Why does it happen? The answer is simple too: just because. And you can either deal with it or let your inner pain and questions consume you or you can make the best of it and just roll the bones and keep on rolling them until it's your time to go. ___ __________________"Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" Prompt: Discuss this quote in your blog. “It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.” – Charles Spurgeon When I picked my song for this blog, I picked it because it was a Rush song that I'd just heard for the first time today. It had played on the radio, and for some reason it really spoke to me and I think I understand why, now. Both the prompts for today's blog were relevant to what the song was telling me. Some people can have nothing and yet they have everything, and some people can have everything and feel like they have nothing. Think about this: Once we have what we want, we want something else. We're never satisfied, and most of the time when we want something it's only because we saw someone else with it first and saw what kind of happiness it brought to them, and of course we want the same for ourselves. Yet, once we get what we want, we always want more. As if to say our desire is never satisfied. It's never enough, for some people. And some people don't need anything at all to be happy except to know that they are alive and still enjoying the world around them, regardless if it brings them wealth or anything else we tend to overindulge in here in the material world. But, really we should step back and realize that once you are happy with yourself, you will attract happiness. ___ _____________________ ___ |

[Embed For Use By Upgraded+] ___  ____________"Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum" Prompt: Write about your favorite fruit and/or cookie? I love most fruit! Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, honeydew melon. My mouth waters just from thinking about it! Paired with some cottage cheese! Yummy!!! When it comes to cookies, you can't go wrong with a classic: Chocolate Chip!! ___ ____________"Blog City Prompt Forum" Prompt: What are your plans for the weekend? What a surprise! I have none. I suppose, perhaps, I could get some homework done. How boring. I've been glued to my couch for the better part of a month and a half, and I fear that this is what I'll be doing once again. I just have no motivation. Probably because of this pain in my side that just won't go away. I went to Urgent Care yesterday, but they tried to tell me it was related to heartburn. I don't think it is, though. ___ ____________"30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" Prompt: Describe the best place to hide in your home (closet, bed - under it or the covers, basement, attic, behind the couch, in a cupboard, etc.), and why it is the best? Unfortunately I live in a park trailer, so there's absolutely no place to hide here. It's basically one long hallway that's been sectioned off! If I want to hide, I'd have to go outside!! ___ _______________ ___ |
