Something For When You're Bored: 30 Day Writing Challenge

Something For When You're Bored: 30 Day Writing Challenge: I always complain, mostly to myself, that I do not write enough. “I need to write every day,” I mutter out loud. “Writer’s write. Just do it...



In  reference to my previous post, this is the writing challenge I'll be taking part in, so all credit goes to this man who created it! Thank you!

Introduction~

Hello everyone! I'd like to start off this blog with this quote from one of my favorite Disney movies; 

"The Flower that Blooms in Adversity is the most Rare and Beautiful of them all." --Mulan

Why start with a quote you may ask? Well in all honesty I am trying to shape my life around this quote. In the past I've always felt outside of the box; whether it was in school, social groups, or even in my family, and to this day not much else has changed. I'm twenty years old now, and I really don't feel like changing the child I've been inside. I mean, who doesn't want to stick to their inner child? Have you ever noticed a child's personality? They are so brutally honest, in the most innocent of ways. People never get insulted by a child's honesty because they feel that it's a child. What do they know right? Wrong. People SHOULD feel threatened by a child's honesty because children don't have a filter, and they don't have that sense to NOT speak their mind's. 

What happened to that? 

What happened to humanities childhood honesty? Why did we STOP being honest with people that we care about, or judge us? Now when I say that we should feel threatened, I don't mean that we should take it personally. I have never felt that honesty was meant to hurt anyone, but to rather it's given as a helpful criticism. I can't think of the right phrase at the moment, but I think a majority of you understand what I mean. 

As adults, we've been taught to hold our tongue; and don't get me wrong, in certain scenarios we SHOULD have that filter, like at a job or professional setting. But in other everyday situations we shouldn't hold back what we're thinking (as a disclaimer its probably best to hold back what you feel like saying if it's meant in a harmful manner. Keep the phrase "If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all" in mind). My point in all this is that as we become adults, we should learn our boundaries, but we shouldn't lose our honesty overall. 

...I'm rambling, and getting WAY off topic now, so I'm going back to my quote. Overall this quote that has always been so strong an inspiration has now inspired me to start this blog. Again. 

I say again because I have attempted this blog many times and haven't gotten very far. But now, almost three months into the new year, watching the Olympics and people younger than me becoming so successful, I am now going to force myself to try again. (A fun phrase that's been plaguing me; "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.) 

So since I currently have no idea what to write about, and have been suffering a crippling writer's block since High School, I am going to try this 30 Day Writing Challenge I randomly found online after googling writing challenge's. 

(Disclaimer: If you are the creator of this blog and/or recognize it, I take NO credit over it!) 

This post was solely to introduce myself and give you an idea of how my brain works...so if you found my early rambling's interesting or amusing then I encourage you to continue reading! (Honestly right now I bet a majority of my family and friends are reading this...if so: Hi Mom.) But I hope that eventually this blog will get SOME popularity and I'll get some followers! But...we'll see how that goes.

For now, look out for Day One of my challenge. For those of you who ARE family and friends, look out for my announcement on Facebook. For the rest of you...well just come back daily! 

I'm gunna go finish my coffee, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and watch Julie & Julia...

TaTa~!
