Growing Up Well

Today I saw my therapist again. I find that for me therapy helps me a lot. As I'm growing up and changing into a beautiful adult I like knowing that I'm handling things in the best way I can. Today my therapist and I talked about my Twin (best friend named Christina). I was really proud of her because she graduated today, and she's moving in with a wonderful family (family like friends that she sees as family). My therapist wanted to make sure I'm happy for her. Of course, I'm happy for her. I'm glad that my best friend is doing so well. In all honesty, I just can't wait to meet her in person because she's going to be my maid of honor. And I can't wait to meet one of my bridesmaids in person, Sammy. Sammy and Twin are like sisters to me, so I definitely want them to be involved in my wedding. Also, someone else whose like family that I can't wait to meet in person is Ashlynn whose going to be my wedding planner. Also, I talked to my therapist about my wedding and when it's going to be as well. I told her why it's going to be in 2019; both reasons. She didn't think my first reason was crazy like everyone else usually does which I truly appreciate. Richard and my reasons for waiting to get married are 1. I promised my father I wouldn't get married before I'm 25, and 2. we, of course, need to save up money. And finally my therapist and I discussed Richard and my schooling. Neither Richard and I are not college students currently. I want to get my BA in Creative writing which would take thirty-two months but I can't afford school yet, so in the mean time I'm studying creative writing from various textbooks, and I'm also studying French. My main goal is to be able to fluently speak and write in French. I chose French because Spanish and French have similar bases, and also I would like to speak a language that not very many people know. I did forget to tell my therapist that I also study and retain a lot of science that I learn. Richard was telling me that I remember everything when we were on our way home from the appointment, and the truth is I can remember almost everything I learn, and I'm honestly really proud of that fact. I think that the fact I can retain so much is a great quality. Anyway, I just was inspired to write what I talked about in therapy because I'm proud of how mature I have become since this time last year.

Treasured Memories Part II

A few days ago, July 3rd, I was reading the latest issue of Reader's Digest. The first article that caught my attention was 'Why I've Decided Not to Write a Memoir'. It was about a woman who being given a very detailed and loving letter from her grandmother about why her grandmother couldn't write a memoir even though she had so many stories collected. This article made me reread the first  Treasured Memories I wrote almost a year ago. A lot has changed since that draft for some, and I want to add more people as well. Some bonds have grown stronger, and others have made their mark in my lately. Books named in the memories will be linked in the bottom. I will be using Goodreads links because Goodreads is also important to a few memories.

Treasured Memories

WARNING: THIS WILL BE MY LONGEST BLOG ENTRY. Worked on this through August 6 through September 4. Started this post August 10th. Life, as we know it, is a complicated storybook for humanity as a whole. Some lives end before they can begin while others experience a lengthy lifetime of bizarre moments that form character development and plot twists. Some stories tell of sacrifice of a parent or child while some stories tell of a victorious march that turned the tides for a nation. Your life is your story and it's scary knowing how much control over it you actually have. Are you the courageous protagonist  or the disillusioned antagonist? Are you a doctor living wealthy or are you scraping change and living paycheck to paycheck? How much of your story have you shared with others, and how much have you kept away? Life doesn't end after the book is finished. Each of us impact someone else in an amazing or terrible way. But it's up to you how your story coincides with someon

What a Wonderful Day!

So over the past week I was able to go to BookCon in Manhattan. I always loved it there because you get to see new and old books, you get to meet authors, and some of the books are on sale. Richard and I got thirteen books while we were there. Five were given to us as a gift. We adopted another five books that were abandoned, and we bought three books. I even met a self-published author who was really cool. I bought five of his stories in just two books. The author is David V. Mammina. We talked about how he went to a few Cons, but when you're trying to sell dark fantasy books BookCon is definitely the place to be. He gave me a deal on the second one. I had to finish reading Maximum Ride Forever by James Patterson before I could start reading any book from BookCon. I just finished Maximum Ride Forever last night. I will only say one thing in case fans of the series are reading this post. Dylan earned my respect. Just today I started the Redeem the Knight Trilogy, and even though I
