Jekyll Hyde Drug Effect (Part 1)
Have you ever felt secure in your life? You are finally living on your own, you have a good job, paying all your own bills, even are able to have a dog. You finally do not have to worry about anyone but yourself and your beloved fur-child. In September of 2015, moving into my own place after signing that 1 year lease was like heaven. My apartment was small, a 400 square foot 1 bedroom, but it was perfect for my dog and myself. I had an amazing job at a pediatric office working 1 on 1 with the Pediatric Mental Health Pediatrician. I thought nothing could bring me down, as I was finally happy with myself, with my life. Fast forward to August 2016 and my life took a very chaotic and dangerous turn.

Writing in the Blood
I used to think when I heard blog or a creative writing site that the people who used them or whom blogged were nothing but a bunch of people writing or complaining about their lives. Yet, many years later, I now see that writing about your life, or telling a story is a good way to relieve stress or just to entertain people. A person just never knows how bad of a day someone is having, and your writing could just so happen to be the sunshine in their day. I don't know the exact moment that I knew that I absolutely loved writing, loved creating, loved entertaining, but writing definitely gives me a sense of purpose; a sense of calm. I remember when I was in 8th Grade, I had a class called BST, but in all reality, it was a typing class. Now up until this point, I did what I called finger pecked keys to type. Now I know everyone at some point or another finger pecked, I mean it is nothing to be ashamed of, but I seen it differently. I was determined to be the best typist in that class. Let me tell you, I've never had so many finger cramps in my life, because I turned into a typing robot, anything and everything that I could type out, I did. I taught myself to type, but not only type, but I taught myself how to type fast. I started excelling in the class, finishing out every single lesson. So my teacher gave me a special project; I was to start a blog, and do an article a day. At the time, I thought it was the stupidest idea, a huge waste of time. I will say, looking back, I wish I would have taken it more seriously, because I know I could have created a blog that a lot of middle schoolers and possibly even high schoolers could have related too. But instead, I made the blog articles very short, not put together very well, and they were quite boring. At 16, I was writing down ideas for a creative writing assignment, and the idea that I had come up with took off, and it was then that I began writing my first book. I finished the book at 21 years old, and attempted to get it published, but as proud of the book as I was, I didn't want to be done with writing. Currently in my life now, I am writing a journal of some sorts for my daughter. Don't worry, I plan on writing a lot on her, but in this journal, there is a lot of emotion, a lot to include without overwhelming. I feel that the journal, the book that I have written, my ability to create and flow the words are all because of that 8th grade BST class, because without that class, I'd still be just a peckin away at these keys like a chicken. I also no longer feel or think that blogging or creative writing is a waste, and actually have fallen in love with it. I hope you have enjoyed this piece about writing and blogging. Until next time :) MC
