I don't know what to say, but I know I need to say something.
I've been kind of detached from the Internet lately and, I have to admit, it's been quite lovely. My stress-inducing obsession with reading all the posts is gone. Reading, once again, takes up a large part of my time. Something I am quite happy about. I'm caught up with the few TV shows I watch.
But most importantly, in the words of THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, I have been "participating" in my life.
Yesterday I had a Quizbowl meet. There's another one on the 27th. Tomorrow I take the PSAT for the second practice run before I take the real thing next year. Thursday through Monday is Fall Break and I'm taking Driver's Ed on Thursday and Friday in order to get my permit. I've been preparing for a Halloween party with my friends as well as the homecoming dance on November 2nd.
I know it seems like I'm neglecting all of you and I worry about that. However, I'm still young and high school only happens once. I should enjoy it while I can. I have the rest of my life to blog and write. At least, that's what I constantly tell myself.
What have you "participated" in lately?
I need to do it a bit better, but I'm a fan of living your life. Besides, as a writer, all that "life participation" will be more fodder for novels to come :-)
ReplyDeleteGo! Enjoy yourself and love it!
Yes, exactly! I'm secretly gaining writing fonder. XD
DeleteAnd oh, I am. I'm about to get the biggest piece of my Halloween costume today!
Enjoy high school Brooke. Be sure to notice a few nice looking boys while you're there and get to know them. It may be the thing that changes your life.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Though I prefer to implement the biggest changes myself and not reply on someone else to make my life better.

ReplyDeleteSo glad you are a wall flower in the blogging world. There are so many things out there. After a week off celebrating my brother's life, I too feel like I'm closer to family.
Enjoy yourself!! :)
Thanks, Clar. Just gotta remember to enjoy myself and get my writing and blogging things done too.
DeleteGood perspective. When you forget, return to this post and remind yourself to live this time too. I know this sounds old, but lately I wonder where all that time went. At some point it accelerated. Even now, I need to remind myself to stop and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI do try to remind myself of this often. But you're right, sometimes I forget so this post is a handy pick-me-up. And I totally agree about the time. It's like I can feel each minute slowly slipping by. I was thinking about it the other day and actually got a story idea out of it.
