People

People are many things. There are a lot of good people in the world; there are a lot of bad people in the world. There are a lot of people that are somewhere in the middle. People are conflicted. I have known some good, some bad and for certain some conflicted people. At times I am conflicted. Whatever people are, good, bad, problematic, people interest me. Their thoughts, their ideas, their stories; why they do the things they do – I am always curious. I am a big time people watcher.

 

 I like to think I am a good judge of people. I seem to have always had a sense about what a person is all about as soon as I meet them. It may be I am a little psychic; I know I am certainly very sensitive and perceptive. Not to say I always catch everything. No one is infallible. I guess this is why I have always had an interest in psychology. I want to write about some of the things I believe to be true about people. I hope I may not come off as highly critical. I can be very critical. I try to temper this with kindness and understanding. I don’t always succeed with this as quickly as I should. Know that I often turn my critical lens on myself too. I would like to write more about people – their behaviors, their ways of thinking, what I perceive in some people and my experiences in dealing with people. I guess I would like to write about what we call ‘human nature’.

Writing/Blogging

I love writing! I want to write. I want to blog. I have a ton of things I want to write about but I know shouldn’t really sit here all day and write. I am trying to clean and organize my house. I still have a ton off junk I need to move over from my parents house. I see a huge garage sale in my future. So anyway……Everything I need to do is pulling me away from being creative though. It sucks. Plus, with everything that I need to do pulling me away; I am scatterbrained. Other times I am really tired. Like the other night. I really felt like writing, ideas were bopping around my brain and I was feeling majorly creative but it was late and I was soooo exhausted. Then when I have the time to sit down and write, the ideas and thoughts don’t come to me that easily. It is really frustrating. I do need to practice my writing to get ready for the new school year. I want to be so good at putting my thoughts to paper in a quick and concise way that I won’t get stressed out when I have to write a paper for school. That is my goal, so I really must try to write everyday. I also should try to get away from writing just all about me. Hehe. There are some topics that concern me and that I am interested in that I can write about. Of course I would have to add my own experiences though. Well, they always say "Write what you know."
 
I want to take a creative writing class. One day it is my hope to write a novel. I have many, many story ideas floating around in my brain that I would like to write out. My novel (if I ever write it, hahah) may be garbage but this what I have always wanted to do. I just have lacked the time, energy and discipline to sit down and write. Now it seems I am trying to acquire the discipline to sit down and write. Keeping a blog has helped me with my writing tremendously, and it is getting me fired up for more writing. So I guess I better get back to getting my house in order so I can write more later.
