I miss

The play of words in my head

When thinking of what to write.

The play of emotions when thinking how to express what I am feeling as I write

The fact that writing lights me up makes me sad when it’s not around.

So I read on and see the light in others as they play with words and emotions, and I feel and relate, and for now, I am okay.

My words are coming and going, but I know they will never be too far from me.

I am a writer, and soon, I will write again so beautifully these months without a distanced memory.

For tonight, hope and faith are all I have to keep holding on to.

Are there things

Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?

I try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?

My family and I have been trying to eat healthier the last nine months.

Less process foods and more fruit and vegetables and just healthier meals throughout our day.

We don’t snack for our meals, which fills us up throughout the day, and we still have a low-calorie dessert.

I feel better and try to get better sleep, but that is hard sometimes.

It has been a journey for me with weight, and I feel less self-conscious about my body.

I am more comfortable being me and being seen, and I feel these changes helped me mentally, physically, and emotionally as I feel clear about life and my surroundings.

And that change isn’t so bad.

No relief

As the hot days turn into hotter days.

Water and watermelon become your best friends.

As Ac and fans are run for, you would be too hot to go on if not for them.

Days are long, and nights are all you look forward to as everything cools down.

You are glad the heat is lower, but tomorrow is a new day with heat that might be worse than the day before.

But it won’t stop you from complaining about how yesterday wasn’t so bad now that your sweat has fallen from you as soon as you walk out the door.

The sun shone down, and it seemed like the breeze you felt a minute ago had dried all up, leaving you miserable.

How do you waste the most time every day?

Waste the most time every day?

Well, if I’m working overnight, im wasting time when im sleeping the day away, but my body needs rest, so I can’t help it.

Now, when I’m off, it’s between my phone and TV, playing video games on my laptop, or getting lost in a book, but I enjoy my time when it wastes time. But if I’m scrolling on social media, yeah, that can waste such a good time, and that is sad, but it happens now and then.

All I can do is do better. Have an excellent time, but I haven’t been on TikTok for a while now, so that’s one place where I’m not wasting my time.

Favorite thing about myself?

I’m quirky, I don’t know. I guess I like that I’m me no matter what.
