My Shyness Doesn't Run My Life

Writing is always there to help me express myself

Do you let your insecurities run your life? Are you one of those people that must have other people's opinion to do stuff?

My shyness used to run who I was until I found the outlook of writing. I write to feel inspired and to feel great about myself in a positive way. I don't care about the negative opinions of others I focus on the positive messages I read. The positive messages help people because the negative messages just put our hearts down. Your words speak louder than your actions. I let my voice be heard in my words. People say, "do something you love, and you never will work a day in your life." I don't consider my writing as a job, but I do consider it as something I love.

When one door opens, another one closes. When I got introduced to writing, the door that closed for me was my shyness. When writing I find my heart and I find the person that I want to be. That person is a positive, bubbly person that doesn't let the negativity of others run her life. Your works can reach other people and help them be inspired in a new way that they haven't seen with their own eyes yet.

Often, we let money run our lives because we think money will buy us happiness, but it just makes it worse. Yes, we need money to live, but I would rather write to feel inspired and happy than to have a million dollars.

Writing tells a story of who you are, it gives us a piece of someone's heart. Writing opens a new world of so many different things like imagination and creativity. We wouldn't have some of the greatest authors today if it wasn't for their hidden talents that inspire us.

Writing is my hidden talent and I am glad that I found this open door.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
