Birthday Blowout 2016: Inspiration From A Friend

Dear Friends,


I want to thank a friend for the inspiration for this entry. Sometimes friends give you good ideals without realizing it. She recently showed me that some people don't or won't change. Some people like to hold grudges or hold on to things said. Some people tend to use these things to come up with bullshit reasons to distance themselves from the world. She also showed me that people assume because you aren't home that coming back home would help but some people leave home to see the world and more. Sometimes being elsewhere makes you happier than being home miserable.

First of all, doing these blogs are more for people to see me as human. I might have made mistakes in my life but I am human and flawed. People kill me saying that they are perfect. Perfection isn't achieved so easily. Most people need to see that being perfect isn't a fix all. I am not perfect but I write these blogs to show that my life is munday most days but other days I have excitement.

Second of all, most people say writing is a tedious thing. I find that writing is a lost form these days. Most of us tend to send a quick tweet or post something in short sentences. I miss when people would write long letters and also take their time to think about what to write and how to say it. I learned some time ago that people don't read books like they use to. Now you can read things digitally. Same goes with newspapers. A news reporter these days have to not only write an article but tweet about it and also do a video about the story. So when someone who wrote a book says writing is tedious should honest see how things are now. I love to write when I have a chance to because it allows me to think about my words and also how my words will show my thoughts.

Finally, I have admitted many times in my blogs that I suffer from depression. Doing this makes me feel some relief because I don't have to internalize things. Depression is an illness and most people deal with it differently. Some listen to music, some do artisitc things but I tend to write or be vocal. Even though the depression isn't going away but for a short period of time, it does makes things look brighter. I live day to day but when I do these entries, I show my daily events as it is and learn from it.




Your Friend,


Eugene
