Story in Progress

What have you been working on?

I started writing a story a while ago and have yet to complete it. The lack of time and energy gets to me sometimes. Some nights I’m exhausted and no creative energy.

Lately I’ve slowly gotten back into it. Plus blogging since I’ve missed it terrible. I have trouble finding my niche. I also don’t know if I should make it an adult romance or keep it young adult.

We will see with time since I’m also trying to work on myself and be better. Many unpredictable things come up but I hope to find some balance…

Prompt Weekend: Physical Wellness

How often do you walk or run?

Not very often according to my Apple Watch. But I should be. It’s hard to find time and enjoy myself. Personally I like having a walk with scenery or accompanied by someone on the phone. I’m trying to implement a way where I can walk and work. A phone to catch up with someone.

It’s hard with the lack of energy but I have to do better not only for my physical wellness but, my emotional well being.

What helps you all take walks and motivate you to pay attention to your physical wellness?

Prompt Weekends

Describe one habit that brings you joy.

Journaling brings me a sense of joy. Not only do I feel accomplished but getting to put my feelings in paper and recall things later on is amazing. Some moments I want to relive. Others I get to revisit and find closure in how much I’ve grown since then. Little moments of joy and ensuring my journey to where I am is one to remember.

Prompt Weekend: Topics

What topics do you like to discuss?

When it comes to topics I enjoy discussing I stick to some general ones: Games, reading, anime, tech and even some stories about people’s lives.

Generally, I discuss my hobbies since it overlaps with many people’s interest thus why I stick to it as a general topic. I’m transparent when it comes to people asking me questions since I tend to have nothing to hide.

What are your favorite topics to discuss?

Weekend Prompt Day: Digital Vision

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

This has changed for me after having kids when it comes to material things I suppose. But where ever life takes me. I hope to be content and that my family is happy.

We are still on the fence about owning a home. Besides the responsibilities of owning one. The cost in NYC for a home is essentially…ridiculous for the lack of a better word. We’ve thought about leaving before but the cons weigh in more than the pros. My husband and I are city people in the end but it was more for our jobs, benefits, and the needs of our kids in the future. We see an opportunity for us to grow here.

What I do is probably still owning an EV, watching anime, attending conventions with friends, back to school for a higher degree, owning a business, journaling, blogging, and giving back to other families who have children with disabilities.

This post will be what I look back on to reflect on what’s been accomplished or added on since then. I’m excited to see where life goes.

Anyone else with short term or long term goals?

Prompt Weekend

What activities do you lose yourself in?

An activity I lose myself in would be journaling. Now with junk journal I find myself prepping the journal for when I write. I have washi tape galore with stamps and junk paper to decorate. I’ve never really been the arts and craft type person so this small hobby that’s developing is bringing me a sense of peace. When writing, I slip on some headphones, play some music and I’m lost in the moment of what I’m writing about. There’s an array of emotions when writing. Gratefulness, sadness, fearful, confidence and much more. I can find myself smiling towards the end or my vision will blur with tears threatening to fall. I can easily lose myself in these emotions thus why journaling is that activity for me. What’s yours?

Monday Mental Health: Death and Always Being Alright

How does death change your perspective?

This prompt opened up this conversation for me. Where it’s interesting how death changed my perspective through the years. Throughout life you experience death in different ways. Whether it be a pet, someone you didn’t know, the news, or close to home. It can change things.

Personally, I’ve accepted that death is a part of life that we cannot escape from. We grieve the ones we lose in this life and my perspective is that death is sometimes an inconsolable feeling. A plague that we secretly tend to fear. A sadness that touches our hearts.

After losing my first two babies. Death drilled a hole in me that I couldn’t fix. A trauma that would eventually ease but never truly leave. I mourn the what ifs and could have been with them.

Then I experienced the death of a close friend. I was devastated for the loss. For his loved ones and for those he brought joy to in his life. The art in his photography and his youth. Even if years pass. It’s like a pause button you can never press play on again. Our conversation frozen in time where there was no ending in sight. That part of death is dark and sorrowful.

That perspective has also made me appreciate things more and work hard to continue to live my life. To always be alright. Some days I’m more than okay. There will be days I’m less than. But I know I’m always alright.
