And That Is OK.

I sit.

I sit and I look.

I sit and I wait.

I wait.

I wait and I stare.

I stare.

I glare.

I attempt.

I try.

I give up.

I sit here, and I type.

I type away.

I think, I try, I fail.

I look.

Look for something meaningful.

Something new.

Something good to say.

Some lesson to teach.

Some message to convey.

But I can't.

It must be the day.

The time that makes me feel this way.

For now, I have nothing to say.

I am constantly searching.

Looking for inspiration.

I look.

I search.

I fail.

I can't find it.

I don't find it.

I won't find it.

I don't even know what I'm looking for.

I don't know what to type, I don't know that to say.

What can I say?

Must be the time, must be the day.

There is just no denying the truth.

Today, I have nothing to say.

I don't think that's a bad thing.

But I must say, it isn't the best feeling.

I scan the world that I live in.

I think 0f the circumstances that I...that we are in.

And it takes my words away.

We all have been using so many words, for so long.]

I guess that has finally caught up to me.

On this day, I have none.

I hope this changes soon,

I hope that on a day, much like today, I will get my words back.

I hope that tomorrow I will have something to say.

I am sorry if I have wasted your time.

Please, enjoy the rest of your day.

Perhaps enjoy the next article on the feed.

I am sorry, it must be the day.

I am not quite sure, but here is what I say…

Nothing.

I Have Nothing To Say.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

We all have a love hate relationship with winter, lets be real here. The snow makes people forget how to drive, its cold, the roads are bad, and chances are, you will be spending a lot more money than you do during the other months of the year. If you’re from the Midwest, it seems to be that winter lasts for what feels like forever. But despite the struggles that winter brings, there are so many things to love about it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
