I really wanted to get a short story or poem from one of my prompts done for today, but I kinda got lost halfway through everything I started. Trying to at least post once a week though, so here's something.
Life's overall been stressful. I'm in my 3rd semester of college, and grades aren't as good as they were at the start. Have one D+ I need to pull up to at least a C in the next week + the final. Two projects due end of this week too :P
On the other hand, I've made several friends this semester, and don't feel quite as lonely in life anymore. It's good to have friends that'll listen to you when you're stressed, and let you do the same for them.
Been trying to listen to some more music lately, and I've found a few new songs I've liked. Thought I'd write a little about each.
"Fireflies" by Owl City
Kinda a mix of happy and sad. The imagery is beautiful and captures the feel of those moments that only last for a while. I wish that planet earth turned slowly. "To tired to fall asleep" is really relatable. I just hope I can catch these memories in a jar.
"When You Love Someone" by James TW
Written for a boy whose parents were going through a divorce, I feel like the writer made it more optimistic then it should be (intentionally or not). Kinda makes the song more emotional. I can't imagine what it'd be like to have your parents divorce...
"Perfect" by Ed Sheeran
Beautiful song. Hope I can say that it's true about somebody, someday.
"Cool Kids" by Echosmith
There's so many "cool kids" that look like they're doing fine, but I wonder how many hide stress and sorrow. I know I don't wanna let mine out. We all still envy them, though.
"1-800-273-8255" by Logic
Depressing, but how I feel sometimes. I've never wanted to commit suicide, but I've felt so overwhelmed before I've wished everything would just end.
"I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack
A song about keeping the wonder in life. I hope I never lose it. This world is such an amazing place.
Also watched the 1951 Adaption of A Christmas Carol on Saturday. I don't know if it was my favorite adaption, but it was very good adaption, and I loved how they did more with Marley. He's really the saddest character in the whole story...
So yeah, idk what I'm thinking or feeling like these days. Life's crazy and hectic and sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it.
Any song recommendations would be cool.
Whoops, was on hubby’s account ...
Attempt#2
Interesting selfie, but yeah, where’s our next story?
I’m glad you have more companionship, but get your grades up or I’ll start nagging you, if only for fun.
Unexpected music choices too. I did not expect romantic carn with Perfect, or sensitive carn with I Hope You Dance. Lee Ann Womack’s song is a favourite of mine. Seeing another side to you. 😱🤗
Keep posting!
I was kinda guessing that, it sounded like you ;)
And yeah, I got several sides, and some I feel like I'm just discovering myself. Emotions have been a little crazy lately. I have a small romantic playlist rn that I've been adding stuff to...
You know, it's kinda weird. There's a lot of stuff I'll tell my friends that I'd never post here, but some things I'll post here that I wouldn't say to them. (Like that ^ above) Some things you can only share with those you know you well, other things you can't tell them for that very reason.
Yeah.
Selfie was one of my bad nights. Was stressed out about everything. School. Family. Me. Stayed up till 4 that night (selfie was at 3). Had to get up for classes at 7. Still not an all bad memory, since another friend was going through the same thing and we messaged each other till about 3... Bitter-sweet kinda, with the bitter disappearing the farther I get from it. Not normally super stressed, just "pensive" like you called me or melancholy.
Hoodies are awesome though. They make me feel better when I'm stressed...
You got rid of your Discord account 😢. Any other way I can msg you?

Helloooo @carn. Have you abandoned Steemit?
Kinda sorta. I'm bad at committing to writing stuff, I was trying to get back into it, then life got busy. Right now my life's really crazy relationship wise and I have a lot of stuff to think about, so I probably won't be writing anything anytime soon. So yeah, maybe someday down the road I'll do some more writing? Idk...
