follow your dreams

I’m a social butterfly. I literally get energy from just being around others. I am aware that I can be totally annoying at times because of my energy, but I honestly can’t help it.

Needless to say Social Distancing is a challenge for me.

I’ve created a new routine full of reading and writing…and eating. I swear I’m going to be 198087039 pounds by the end of this. I love running so I don’t know why I’m not taking advantage of this time and running in my neighborhood like I normally do. But I guess this whole thing has me down a little bit.

I couldn’t find milk, bread, or diet dr. pepper for the longest time. And that makes me depressed. I know we are spoiled that we can even go to the store and get those things, but when the shelves are bare and the community around you is in hysteria, it does something to your psyche.

So I’m trying to follow my dream of becoming a published author. I mean I have the time, why not? I’ve made myself daily word count goals and even painted one of my walls with chalkboard paint so I could have it all visible. I’m really trying to turn this anxiety ridden time into a positive time.

I’m writing 4,000 words a day to reach my goal by the time we return to school.

What dreams have you put on hold because you didn’t have the time? I’m thinking now could be the time.

Love, Jessie
