haven't been on here much. I'm thinking that's good.
I've been writing in a journal every night, documenting my daily life during the pandemic. It's helping me to organize thoughts and will be amazing to look back on in the future.
I've also been talking a lot to the people around me, consulting and informing.
I've been figuring out feelings through conversation instead of writing lately.
I think that's incredible too, and just as rewarding.
It's the same thing really,
realizing your feelings through words,
not even knowing what will come out until you start talking, until you start typing.
I've had a lot of things going on.
I graduated this week.
I won some scholarships.
I saw my friends for the first time in weeks, some of them months.
My dad is unemployed for the first time in 29 years.
My brother broke up with his girlfriend of three years, my best friend.
My cat got hit by a car. I didn't even know it was my cat until that event.
I registered for college classes.
I attended my first college orientation group zoom hangout.
I hugged my grandparents and saw my little cousins after so long.
I finished some books and started some others.
I changed up the decorations in my room and went through a lot of old stuff.
I got my last high school grades.
I signed a million petitions for the Black Lives Matter movement.
I've adventured to some cool places.
I've laid in bed and felt like shit some days.
and I've had some incredible times with who I've had access to.
I'm so thankful for communication through all of this.
with my parents, with my friends, with all my support systems.
online and in person.
It's been quite a run.
talk
write
live
