Hello! I am sorry it has been so long; school has been kicking my butt. I am going to try and get back in the swing of writing blog posts so bear with me. I want to talk about thoughts. I take the bus and the train a lot, so therefore I have a lot of free thinking time. I constantly think about world issues, personal issues, and imagining certain scenes in my head. Unfortunately this will not be about my conquest up the mountain through a cloud bank on my way to slay a dragon. Although that would be very cool.
My everyday thoughts about what I'm doing with my life are the ones that get me thinking the most, because they relate to me. Without these thoughts I wouldn't know what my dream college is, what I want to major in, or who I might potentially be in love with. Without these thoughts that concern my friends and my family or what blog posts I want to write for you guys nothing would be happening. There are some thoughts that eat away at you, but you shouldn't let them. The awkward things that haunt you when you lie awake at night don't matter. No one can remember what you did when you were 7 so you shouldn't be concerned with it when you're trying to go to bed. You should be more concerned with the thoughts that can be used for productive things. Like starting your own blog, writing a book, doing something in school that has never been done before. Thoughts are a forgotten privilege. Not everyone gets to think for themselves. I have it good. I have the right to use my mind for whatever I want to. I have creative freedom that isn't allotted in certain countries, religions, or families. Using these thoughts for something useful and productive is important but also for the benefit for others.
I am sorry it has been so long and that this post is not up to usual standard. I look forward to writing more for you in the future and I can't wait to see what's in store for this blog. See ya later!
Be positive, patient, and persistent- Lauren!
