Tough Decision for 2025

I have been thinking a lot about what to do with this blog since I have been inactive for the last few months. Thoughts about if I should continue or end this blog. It’s been quite tedious if that’s the right word. To be honest, I only started this blog because my mom thought it would be a good idea to share my story about my journey of getting my college degree to prove to the ones who believed…

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? I can only say that my morning ritual is mainly involved work days. I get up and get dressed first.

It helps when using the “Routine Flow” app…

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? I think I wrote something like that years back when the pandemic took effect. I try to remember and reread my old blog posts to answer this question. Couldn’t believe that was four years ago when that happened. I don’t know what kind of changes I have to adapt to the pandemic. Either I didn’t notice it, or it changed so…

Do you believe in fate/destiny? I don’t know about fate or destiny is something that I believe in. However, I am a believer in karma. I grew up taught the meaning of “what goes around, comes around”. Believe that if you treat someone with kindness, something good will come into your life. You treat someone terrible, then…well, you get the idea. That is what I believe in and live by it.

Where would you go on a shopping spree? Sam Flax, no doubt! I’m not much of shopper with when it comes with necessity things like clothes and such. However, with art supplies, it’s hard not to spend when you are trying to save some money. Seriously, I have art supplies on my table, in the little corner of my room, and my closet. It just to me, that store seems to have better stuff than what…

What’s something most people don’t understand? I can think of many things that most people don’t understand. The main thing is where how people live their lives. Like when you watch one of those reels from Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok and you find some comments such as “Oh, you will regret it if you don’t drive” or “You’re too old to be still living with parents.” Such words might seem like…

What activities do you lose yourself in? Most recently, I have lost myself to one of those 1000 puzzle pieces. Initially, it was for my brother to do it alone, but he let me help him. My stepfather was amazed that I could find all the pieces faster than my brother. I don’t see it that way; I just see what’s fit in. We were able to finish the puzzle (the pic for the post) and might do another…

That’s “Lisa Frankenstein”, “The Menu”, “Five Nights at Freddy’s”, and last but not least…

Random Prompt #130

Are you superstitious? Yes and no. I mean, I do believe in karma. It depends on which kind of superstition you mostly believe in. Like Friday the 13th, the most common superstition of all. There’s a rare time when I got lucky around that day. I never believe that black cats are bad luck. They have a bad reputation because they look “spooky” and connect to witches. In other cultures, black cats…

What tattoo do you want and where would you put it? Well, I already had two tattoos on me. My first one is a heart with wings on my left shoulder; I got it as a gift from my stepfather for my 18th birthday. The very first thing I did as a legal adult.

What advice would you give to your teenage self? I would tell my teenage self, “Don’t let anyone define you; define yourself.” Around that time, some people told me that I couldn’t handle college, but I did it. I graduated from college and proved it not only to them but also to myself.

What bores you? I don’t know if I have a correct answer to this question. It might sound mean or something like that, but I was bored with things I once found interning. I mean, like, a TV show, for example, I watch one episode of my friend’s favorite show. I found it interesting, so I started watching it from the beginning, but then, after a couple of seasons, it became less appealing to me.…

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do? Like when I passed the FCLE (Florida Civic Literacy Exam), try not to smile. It sounds silly, I know, but would you do the same thing? After multiple times of failing the exam? Back then, I was prepared to expect another failure. Once I see the words “Passed”, I try so damn hard not to smile, knowing that I finally…
