This week has been really one of the most chaotic weeks of the year for me. I barely got any reading done, I didn't feel like I learned anything in any of my classes, and I didn't know what was going on half of the time. But, at least I had a good time at homecoming. Coming up with a topic for this blog was hard, but I think I got it, so just pray for me. This week, one of the most memorable things that we did was the "I remember" creative writing prompt. Normally, I just use the creative writing time as a way for me to release my feelings or just rant, so pretty much like a diary. But this time, I decided to go with the prompt and see where it took me. While everyone seemed to take it in a way where they wrote a couple of memories, and then picked one to go into deeper detail in, I just kept writing more and more memories. I wrote happy ones, sad ones, exciting ones, boring ones. The list goes on and on. It really was one of the longest creative writings I ever did, which was over 500 words in about 15 minutes. While I enjoyed remembering all these memories from my head, it happened every once in a while where I would write a memory that felt very personal to myself. Something that I didn't really want to write out, because of the fear that someone would read it and judge me for it. But at the same time, it felt good to write something that I held to myself for a long time down.It felt like a little weight was off of my chest. Of course, there's still the horrifyingly heavy weight of anxiety on my chest every single time I enter the school, but writing things down still felt good. This week, it helped learn that writing down my feelings is something that I might want to do more often, instead of keeping them inside of me, just to grow. If I don't feel comfortable enough to tell someone these things, then maybe writing them down can help me feel better. If this can help me lower my stress levels, then hopefully I can pick it up as sort of a hobby.
