"Pretty much, days and days go on and the night turns the bright blue sky into a black world filled with starlights. I hope that whoever listens to this on a dark and stormy night realizes that they are loved and appreciated no matter where they are, who they love, and how they are truly feeling."

I couldn't sleep one night because I left my windows open and the cold air woke me up from a deep sleep. I look at my alarm clock right next to me.

11:36pm.

Huh, I went to bed only about an hour ago, how did something like this happen?

Well, whatever.

I have a journal to update and a blog post for school that needs to be done.

Oh yeah, I normally have a journal for thoughts that I have when I wake up in the middle of the night.

Also, my school has a privately owned blog called "THE NEW BEDFORD" which requires everybody at least once a school quarter, to write a little post down or something. Students and teachers either read it or don't. This was their alternative to paying dues, since last year, the due money for the students was stolen by a teacher that is now fired.

What do I write about?

I have been thinking about different hobbies, and I might write an article on different hobbies. That's when I looked at my camera and an idea came to mind.

I started typing the title.

"How artistic hobbies are under appreciated and how they can help you".

I did a few studies on these a little bit earlier. Although, I am not an art major, art helps you relive stress and be more productive, also by reducing your anger and venting it out in a not so aggressive way.

That's why I chose filmmaking. Even though my films will go nowhere in life, they are good ways to help boost my social skills, self esteem, and add a little something to every single day.

People can express their art in many ways, singing, dancing, painting, drawing, acting, and many more ways. It doesn't matter to you. If you have a natural talent for something or want to go outside of your comfort zone, go ahead, I am not blaming you at all. Trying new things is fun.

I just wish that Alexa would find a hobby in art and then she wouldn't always feel all of this frustration, nothing that bad at all. I just wish.

Other than that, how are you all doing today? Well, I'm cold, I guess I should just close this window.

I close the window and sit back down to where my laptop is.

While I'm typing, I suddenly start to crave for a salty snack, maybe a bag of Doritos or something like that.

When I go down the stairs, I see Alexa swallowing some pills, but those looked like mom's anemia pills that she only uses for emergencies.

That's when I stopped her and knew from the moment I saw Alexa swallowing pills, I ran towards her and tried to stopped her.

But she just threw me and pushed me back.

"Get out of the way." Her voice was in the verge of breaking.
