In all my life I’ve been wondering what I should do when I get older. But the only thing I’ve been doing is changing my mind on everything I’ve wanted to do. I always wondered what I should be doing in life and if my life had any meaning. My family life has never been perfect but I don’t know whose family is perfect. Everyone must think I’m someone who’s happy all the time but that’s wrong, I have hard life and try to put up with my family’s crap especially my brother’s. Well my life isn’t that hard like most people but it’s hard enough for me. Now that I’m in my 3rd year of high school I want to accomplish something that I have never done before and beginning to love doing. If I stick to this specific accomplishment then it will be the most fulfilling thing I have ever done in my entire life. The reason being is because I have grown to love writing and making up my own stories. I will be extremely happy If I do fulfill this because I don’t really have anything that I could say I really, really love doing or love in general. And the reason behind it is because of the world we live in now and all the corruption that has gone on in this world. I feel that because of all the things that have happened in the world and in my family that I always want to hide from reality and daydream. I sometimes wish this world was a fantasy, and then it wouldn’t be so hard to deal with. But reality is very cruel, super cruel. The main reason why I haven’t accomplished something fulfilling is because I get very lazy and end up not doing anything I actually want to do. Now that I look back at what happened in the past, I say to myself I don’t like how everything turned out to be because back then everyone wasn’t lazy. But I’m glad woman got there rights and African-Americans too. I’m not too sure about the being lazy part or maybe that’s just me being lazy. I just hope I can make my writing career happen in the near future. And I just really hope I can make everything that I’m going to work hard for come true in this cruel reality that we all live in everyday.
Hey Mirian,
ReplyDeleteI just read your other post, titled "Nightmare", and was really impressed. I'm not surprised that you want to be a writer; you're really talented.
I love your line about this world being a fantasy-- it's quite poetic. Your work is incredibly insightful. You're right about the cruelty that plagues today's world. This utter cruelty is, unfortunately, hard to escape. It is evident, however, that writing helps you to escape. I hope you achieve your dreams of becoming a writer. It's clear that you are on your way!
I look forward to reading more!
Mirian,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you LOVE writing. You have such a talent for creating these clever, slightly mysterious, and fascinating characters. I can't wait until you finish your first piece and we can enter it in a contest.
Also, know that you can accomplish anything you decide to work towards. You are right that it is going to take a lot of hard work, and I respect your desire to fight the "lazy" feeling that often creeps in and threatens our motivation. Keep fighting it off!
You are right that if everyone in the past was lazy, we wouldn't be where we are today--which is, as you say, far from perfect. But life is kind of this beautiful mess, and we have to keep trying to figure out how to best navigate it. I am thrilled, Mirian, that I get to watch you develop into this strong woman WRITER!

ReplyDeleteIt's great that you've found your passion in writing. It's a great tool for expression, and it seems like you're already using it as such.
It's hard to find your way in this complicated and challenging world, but with the help of people you trust, you can make it through.
I can relate to your uncertainty about you future. I'm in my third year of college, and still am not sure what I want to do for the rest of my life! Follow your passions, whatever they are, and you'll end up doing something you're proud of. I can't wait to read more of what you've been working on!
