The Next Ten Years
When I was little all the way up to high school I would constantly be planning things, whether it was my next birthday party or where I wanted to be in ten year and what I thought my dreams were. I was in desperate need of some control in a world that was far too big for me to adapt in. My mom would always stop me and say "Rilee try to stay in the moment, be in the present" because I was always wishing I was somewhere else or at some other point in my life. Come now, I am 25 years old and I cant imagine trying to plan anything for my life.

Small Paw Print, Big Impact
My family never had pets in the house for the first seven to eight years of my life. My Grandma is terrified as she was bit by a large Rottweiler when she was in her forties, my mom inherited that fear for years. As for me, I wasn't ever around any dogs growing up that I can remember. However I do vaguely remember when I first encountered fear from a dog. Believe it or not it was Halloween, we knocked on someone's door and without warning two big olé mighty pugs then rapidly charged toward me and my brother. I know what your thinking, pugs, really. As they are not the most threatening of animals let alone dogs.

Brain vs. Body
I know I have a little bit of time to still decide this, but as a woman I feel like I am on a time clock to make a life altering decision. Inherently, I have never desired to carry my own child as some do, but even when I was in love, my envision of having a family included the children starting at or around five years of age and up.

My First 25 Cents
I have been writing since high school, mostly intermittently through life experiences. My hometown best friend and I were in a creative writing class together growing up, and we have both branched out to writing in our own ways and avenues. I have opened numerous blog accounts through Weebly and Wix and almost WordPress, to merely exist just for me. A place that I can create a story, mostly about my life, but something that I could share if I wanted to. Although I have times of my life and stories wrapped into those blogs, I tend to get stuck because I have so many experiences to tell and I feel the need to share them in chronological order, almost like an archive. Then, time passes, details get forgotten and the desire to write turns into stress. On the other hand, I have never really had the desire to share my writing on platforms. I never wanted to open myself up to critique and be seen in a more vulnerable way from others who I don't know or who I am not close to.
