Nanowrimo: Day 4

The Fears Within

4. So many fears. So little time. I fear the unknown. The future. Not being in control. Making the "wrong" decision. Disappointing myself and others. Not living my truth. Losing the people I love. Losing myself. Being consumed by my thoughts. Never being enough. Not being able to work through my fears.

Nanowrimo: Day 3

Last Night

3.  Last night, I took Devon to the airport and third-wheeled a date with my favorite couple: Ana and Nick.  We ate an unhealthy amount of fried food and went to a private screening (sah fancy) of Mockingjay - Part 2.  Post film, we ate delicious chocolate covered caramels on Ana's bed and I fell asleep before 11PM.  A successful night in my book.      

Nanowrimo: Day 2

Your Reality

2. My reality is that I'm blessed.  I was born in a country where I'm free to express my beliefs, live my truth and follow my dreams; born into a family who (among countless other things) has and continues to love, support, challenge, reassure and teach me.  My friends are loyal, genuine, thoughtful, hilarious, quirky, uplifting, honest and most of all consistent.  My boyfriend and adventure partner reminds me of the most precious thing in life: the present.  He loves me at my best and at my worst, a characteristic that is hard to come by.  I have a college degree, am in good health, receive a steady paycheck, have a roof over my head, food in my pantry, clothes on my back, means of transportation and many other little luxuries.  I've traveled to 3 continents, 8 countries and more than 20 states.  This is my reality.   

Nanowrimo: Day 1

A Dream

1.  I recently had a dream that Devon, Nick, Ana and myself were on the Titanic.  Unfortunately it was after all the fancy dinners and love affairs...the ship was quickly filling up with water.  Ana and I ran to the top deck to find our other (male) halves; as soon as I reached Devon we embraced, kissed and were swept away into the ocean together.  I distinctly remember feeling completely at peace once I was in his arms, even though certain death awaited us.  As for Ana and Nick?  I guess we'll never know.

Being the over-analyzer that I am, I looked up "sinking ships" dream meaning on the trustworthy internet.  Here is what Dream Moods had to say :
"To see a ship in your dream denotes that you are exploring aspects of your emotions and subconscious. The state and condition of the ship is indicative of your emotional state.  To dream that a ship has crashed or sunk suggests that you are feeling emotionally out of control.  You are expressing some fear or uncertainty within your emotional state."


Well, I recently started a new job.  A big change like that can certainly cause some uncertainty and emotional turmoil.

After reading my lovely friend Ana's blog, I was inspired to partake in this writing challenge from http://blog.freepeople.com/2015/11/nanowrimo-30-day-writing-challenge/.
Intended for the month of November...better late than never, right?
