MONDAY BLUES 😕

I am writing to you at 1:17am. Technically it’s still Monday, right? How I am feeling right now described perfectly above.

I miss my childhood, when things were supposed to be less complicated. Here I am at 1 in the morning pondering life and its’ complexities. I am still on the job hunt hoping for something to expand my artistic voice through creative writing because who wouldn’t want to get paid for something that they love to do? I am still setting up my schedule to bring you guys movie slash television commentary.

On a good note, I finally watched “Scream 4”. It’s so funny to think about how scared I used to be to watch “Scream.” I do not watch scary movies at all but I felt like I had to do something towards the holiday spirit of Halloween. If you caught my livestream, I had light up bunny ears on, if you didn’t, you missed out.

It’s just funny how things change, how life changes; to think about how much the future ends up being different than what you predicted that it would be. For example, I would not have expected to be knocking on the door of 23 and be blogging or doing live streams.

Here’s a picture of me in my bunny ears.

I was so nervous to turn the camera on and to let anyone see me but I knew what I wanted and now I like live streaming. I have always been a big dreamer and sometimes it has gotten me a little down to realize that I am not exactly where I thought I would be but I also still have hope that things will get better and that this blog is a huge stepping stone. I am grateful for this platform to be able to write to you and to show you the thoughts that float around in my head.

Do you want to know how this blog topic started for today? I just randomly started singing, “Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket” in my head and I don’t even know why. I was playing this very movie scene in my head, both audio and visual. Maybe I saved this scene in my head for moments like this when I can reflect and move forward knowing that it won’t be easy to chase my dreams but nothing that comes easy can breed persistence.

I hope your Monday was slightly less sucky than your last. I hope you learned something new and I hope you are motivated to finish the rest of this week. Here we go kids, off to another productive week full of surprises to accompany our renewed energy.

Xo,

Nina.
