 Being creative is so hard. 

I think one of my life goals is to be a published author. So I think I'm also going to start working on that. I think the goal is the end of my twenties, I should have published a book. 

I think I used to write so much as a kid. Nearly every day, every week, I would be writing something. 

I still write. Of course. But I think I've evolved to have some sort of judgement towards the things that I have written. 

There is a month in between pottery classes for me. I think I should start working on writing a novel within that period. 

I think I had a bucket list somewhere stored when I was a kid. I think running a marathon was one of them. Moving to New York was one of them. As well as being a published author. Now, one of my goals is to also be a competitive programmer as well as learn Spanish fluently. I think I also want to learn how to play chess well enough to win at least ONE game. Thanks to my ex haha. 

I don't think I'll change the world anymore. Although, I am really more confident in my abilities as time as gone by. I think I'm the most confident that I have been in a very long time. I think I know myself so well now. I didn't think I would survive until today. If I'm being honest. I think I spent a lot of my life thinking about death and how I would die so early. Turns out I haven't died early. Let me take a peek of that bucket list. 

You know what's weird. I found that bucket list. And having children was one of the items on that list. Yeah. It hits me kind of hard somehow. I think, until the end, I don't know if Jaime ever believed me about it and it makes me kind of sad. 

Lots of the things that I have written are probably not applicable anymore. I don't think I want to go to Tomorrowland or drive a Beetle. I do not want to go on any more roadtrips, esp not one from LA to NYC. I'm too old for that. But some are still relevant. Let me write an updated bucket list. 

On the bright side. Looking at some of the old entries that I have written in here. I think I have matured a LOT as a person. I don't think I dislike my parents the way that I did back then. I think I have figured out how to get along with them. Also, thank goodness, I stopped writing all UWU style. 

  1. Run a full marathon
  2. Backpack around Europe
  3. Backpack around Asia
  4. Write and record a song (I will settle for just putting a song on SoundCloud/Spotify)
  5. Fly a plane
  6. Learn a foreign language
  7. Write and publish a book (will settle for self-publishing)
  8. Move to New York City
  9. Do a stand-up routine set (will settle for open mic)
  10. Win a game of chess
  11. Win a competitive programming competition
I think this is small enough to achieve. Let's go baby.

Writing more before term starts

Hey, so i woke up today feeling very creative and smart, so I decided to write a bit since I'm free anyway. Well not really very free I do have piano lessons at 12. Which makes me want to rant. I have had piano lessons since I was 4 years old and now I'm already 19 and yet I still need to continue with it, what a waste of a good weekend. Plus, I'm not allowed to drive so my parents or my brother would always need to drive me there and although they don't complaint out loud, I can still sense the crazy, loud, bitch mental shout in their brains for needing to ferry me around.  I should be practicing my piano. Or not one hour of class would turn out to be one hour of mad scolding from my teacher. Well, typing, in some way, trains the finger muscles, I bet, that's why people get carpal right.  And I downloaded Tinder. Was reading 9gag, and it seems fun. For people living under a rock, Tinder would be some dating app where you get to label people if they are

I haven't been writing in a while and I thought I should get back on the horse. Writing, over time, has become less and less of my forte. It's not as though my ability to write has gone, it's more that my willingness to share has disappeared. I have become more of a private person. I don't know when it started but I realized that people don't care too much about you. Such is the nature of humans, we are all a little narcissistic. I also learned that over time, it's not that people don't care about you anymore, it's that people around you assume that you don't care about them. It goes both ways. And by wallowing in your own sadness, you failed to realize that everybody is also in the same fucking boat. I don't know. That has become the motto of my life at this time and age. I'm uncertain about everything and anything. Any philosophies I have held dear to me during my lifetime has changed. And I'm unsure and wary of everything.

Feelings #4

-
 I don't think you have been a good boyfriend to me.  I have historically felt insecure in our relationship. I've always felt you had one leg out of the door and I felt as though I have not been able to talk about things that upset me.  Lots of things also upset you and I spend a lot of my time tiptoeing around that. And instead of talking to me, trying to understand me, trying to work towards a problem together, it always becomes this tug of war of trying to change each other's minds.  And I feel as though I have changed a lot for you. We are fundamentally different and I've felt like I always tried to meet you halfway. And I don't think you have attempted to even do that for me. It's always been that you're right, and I'm wrong and you drop things but you still hold a lot against me and I can't do anything to change your mind or resolve your issues, help you heal. I have needs and expectations to make me feel good. And I have expressed them to you
