This challenge must have been created for me. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I created this neologism a long time ago while anxiously babbling to one of my coworkers. I stuck with it. I'm awkward and anxious all rolled into one. Ankward.
I live by this word. It defines who I am as a person. I live for being awkward. I happen to make people uncomfortable and I blurt out made-up words quite often in a anxious jumble of word vomit. I just so happen to be one of the most anxious critters to exist and always have been that way. But I strive to work through it on a regular basis.
When you learn to embrace the anxious human being that lives inside you, and cherish the awkward parts of yourself that you try and hide from others, you become more truly you. I think that embracing yourself instead of being attempting to be anything except you is quite important. ANd that lesson took me YEARS to learn.
I don't live to be liked. I live to be myself. And if that makes me ankward then so be it. I like myself more this way.

10 Lessons from Sarah J. Maas
"You learn to write by reading the writers you love." I recently took this course by Damien Walter! I wanted to share with you all what I took away from the course, and to share my thoughts on writing fantasy. He did an analysis on the opening chapter of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas and I have a new set of lenses while I am reading. I was inspired by previous Udemy post to create this one on this specific course.

Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

This was a wonderful entry Chloe! Truly mean that. Love the sage advice about loving your natural self for who you are instead of trying to fit a mould you never will and that is quite a slky smooth word that rolls of the tongue nicely! Well done!
Omgggg, if this challenge was made for you, then this entry was written for me! I'm ankward all the time! Also, I'm so glad you live to be yourself!
And I hope you like yourself, too.
Very good
I’m awkward too! ♥️💙💜🩷
