Random Tangent

I have been itching to make another post but not really sure what to write about.  So I'll just go off of my initial premise of the blog, "A Blank Page", just typing and letting my mind take me where ever it takes me... All I'm coming up with is how I think the words "at least" and "a lot"  should be one word.  I find that I do that a lot.  Also for what ever reason I keep accidentally using " instead of ' when making abbreviations.  I don't know why but its really getting on my nerves because I feel I type fairly well.

Ok so you don't want to read about my rantings about typing.... I suppose if blogging were easy everyone would do it.  Some even make it a career.  I would like that if I had more ideas to write about. But sometimes I feel like the subjects I think I should write about, others wouldn't enjoy.  Or they would read but then afterwards feel like they just wasted 10 minutes of their life reading through a garbage post.

I used to write in my notebooks all the time when I couldn't pay attention in class because I had something on my mind.  It always seemed to help get it out of my head and on paper.  Sometimes I'll come across an old notebook with random pages written on, and read what was on my mind that day. Random pages is always key because if someone found your book they would usually only look at the end or the beginning. Sometimes I would read an entry and think "wow, I really was crazy." Other ones I would laugh and some I would even fill sad for the past me.  Which is kind of ridiculous because whatever it was, I already went through it. Why in the heck would I make myself feel that again.  But it does remind me of where I've been and how far I've come.  So that part is helpful.

I guess if you can take anything away from this, if you feel you ever have some things on your mind that you can't talk about with someone, just write it down.  After you write it down, don't re-read it, just close the notebook or put away the paper.  Don't throw it away just yet, it could help you later down the road. Also if you just throw it away it might give you a negative feeling. It doesn't have to be in perfect handwriting or grammatically correct. Just get all of those thoughts on paper. Who knows, maybe as you're writing you'll come up with an answer or a solution that you wouldn't have thought of before.
