The last few years I’ve felt lost… uninspired.

It’s weird, when you graduate high school, no one tells you the truth. That finding yourself is rough. I remember wanting to hurry up and get out of high school, and in some ways, I’m glad to be out, but sometimes I truly miss it.

I often compare myself to that girl, you know that high schooler who was 40 pounds lighter… was the editor for her yearbook… had a purpose. She exercised regularly, ate clean, drowned herself in her work, and had a glimmer of light in her eyes.

Now I’m not saying I don’t have a purpose, I just haven’t really found it yet. Writing is 100% my passion, but lately, I haven’t had much time for it. My life’s split 50/50 between working towards my degree and working in a pharmacy. When I can’t write, I feel empty, so that’s been my mood for the past few weeks… empty. Yes as a Creative Writing major I technically am writing, but not for myself. By drowning myself in work and school, I have no extra energy to take care of my own well-being.

That’s the main thing that should be happening, we need to be doing things to appease ourselves. How can we live if we aren’t truly happy?
