Been a While

I've slowed down significantly these past few months... or maybe I'm just channelling all my energy into something else. Typical me. Start something and never finish it; instead start a new activity. I need to fix that. I still have things I need to finish. It's a good habit to get into.

Lot of stuff happened. Winteriums, I guess, are the earliest. Just basically went around local places in Redlands and then Laguna Beach... I can't decide if it was as bad or worse than last year's winterium. I'm actually thinking I might make one to go to Herst's Castle or Winchester Mansion. Really wanna go to Winchester Mansion.

Anyway, I've had a nice break from the blogs... gonna get started again real soon.

Strange... I feel like I've had a lot to say and planned to put much more detail in this post. Maybe it wasn't that important anyway.

I find myself drifting. In a lot of things and it's starting to weigh down on me. My story, D.V., is taking many twists and turns... not always for the good, but hey, I think it's still in its early stages. But I think it takes those turns because of a lack of communication. I hardly talk to V anymore. Brigitte I can't get to shut up, but eh, that's love for ya. Heh. I don't think I'm distributing my time evenly between friends. 'Course, I'd hate to be a bother to anyone...

I find it especially strange why I feel this way. I'm always so cautious and guarded... one would think I was beaten as a kid or told I was a waste of space. But it's the opposite. So maybe it's something else making me feel this way... I've always felt this way. I remember writing my mother notes asking if I could go to the bathroom when I was younger. I was too afraid to ask in person. Why was I afraid in the first place? She never raised a hand to me... never really yelled at me. Perhaps I'm just naturally paranoid. Wonderful.

I'm also having trouble starting my way in the world. I know what I want to be, but I don't know where to start. Like a story... I know what I want the story to be; I envision certain scenes and events clearly... but where to start? How do I begin the story properly to flow into my vision? It's like that now, only it's real... I don't know where to go to make my vision reality.

I suppose the best way to start... is to do the best I can. Even if it's tedious, even if it seems stupid or that I won't need it in the real world... I'll just have to do what they want me to do for another year... Then I can set sail anywhere I please. Yea. That's what I'm going to do.

  1. *hugs* I know the feeling of not feeling like you're talking enough to friends and all that. Pretty much me 24/7 >.<

    Also, Hearst's Castle is BEAUTIFUL. I was there early in the morning and the fog rolling on the hills is lovely. Winchester Mansion is fun if you like the architectural aspect and story, but it's pretty much a tourist trap. Which is kinda sad.

    1. Heehee. Thanks, Amanda. There just seems to be a lot of things left undone or unfinished or unattended to... I mean, I know it's not like an obligation but... with friends, you feel as though reminding them you're always there for them should they need anything.

      And really? I was told it takes a complete 3 days to fully cover Hearst's Castle... It looks amazing from what I've seen in pictures. Maybe I'll think about doing both. That's a lot of money, though. Just Hearst's Castle, then. Heehee.

    2. Never enough time in the world yet we have all the time. XD

      The tour is a couple hours long. There was a short film before it. I think it depends on what you do there, but not 3 days worth.

    3. Well, they have three different tours. We could ideally do them all in one day. Maybe two. I think. XD

      Right? Time is so weird... Nowadays, it moves so fast... Childhood seems like such a long time ago. Wonder if it'll always be this way?
