Y’all, it’s been a hectic few weeks. There are several things going on at the moment. Firstly, I’m nearly done with the first edit of my next book which should be released within the next few weeks, which is super exciting! I already have a cover designed, though there are still a few things that might need to be tweaked. I’m also upgrading the website a little bit behind the scenes; I’m working on making a logo and I’m also building an art gallery page! I’m not sure when the art gallery will be released, but it will be available eventually haha.

On a separate note, I’ve been thinking a lot, as usual, and it’s mainly about what’s going to happen in the future. I’ve already come to terms with the fact that there’s literally no planning for what will happen, since I have no idea what to actually expect, but it’s still difficult to keep myself from laying out exactly how I want my life to go. Especially now that my gap year is coming to a close, and I have still yet to apply for a college or find a place to live. I have a problem with procrastination, I will honestly admit that. It’s something that I’m still working on overcoming. It’s to the point where I still haven’t sent out my thank you cards from my graduation, which was back in August of 2021. They’re all written and addressed, but I feel like it might be a bit weird to send them out now. Moral of the story, don’t procrastinate because then you miss your opportunity.

Anyways, I feel like I’m being strung out in many different directions right now that I just don’t want to think about, but I’m also handling it way better than I would have two years ago. It’s always cool to reflect on how much I’ve changed without even noticing; it’s like keeping track of your growth. I remember being a kid and always asking my mom to measure me and being disappointed if I hadn’t gotten any taller. It’s kind of like that, except within rather than without.

One way I've noticed in how I've improved is that I now take the time to stop, breathe, and enjoy the moment. I'm not always stuck in the past or in the future, which means that I don't miss as many moments as before. The sky's beauty had never been as impactful to me as it is now. It reminds me of just how small I am, which makes my blessings even more significant.

With that said, I’m going to close this blog here. I had the intention to write something sooner, but didn’t know what. So I wrote this mess instead haha. It feels nice to get something accomplished, and it makes the day seem that much more productive, even if it’s something small. I hope you enjoyed this random little entry. See ya later!

Question: What is one way that you have noticed you've improved in the past few years?
