I am a huge over thinker. That is something that will most likely never change about me. If I bump heads with someone, I am always and forever rethinking how I could have approached it better. Which, is kinda funny because I am also a very closed mouth person. I rarely give someone my honest opinion of them, because I try my hardest not to be judgemental. I am not a perfect person, and even though there are some people out there who I either disagree with their way of living or just don't get it, I don't want to be completely closed minded about it.
When I was younger, I was a writer of "stories", and being open minded about things allowed me to be a writer, who, as an innocent twelve year old, wrote of drugs, gangs, sex, teen pregnancy, domestic violence, sexual abuse etc... Although there were plenty around me who'd dealt with those things, at the age of twelve none of those things had ever crossed my mind, other than in my writings. I asked my close friend plenty of questions, and thank God, she was always more than willing to help me, and give me criticism even when I didn't want it. HA HA. But it was always helpful. I payed close attention to people's lives and of course I watched a lot of movies... I put it all together and got five really good stories that unfortunately are lost in an ancient computer... sighs... anyway...
I haven't been an honest writer of stories since I was younger (probably around eighteen). I think that gives me too much time to be stressed and agonize over things that don't matter. Maybe I will pick up the "pen" again and give it an honest go 'round. Maybe I can do what I used to do and take out my frustrations on my charectors!
Well that is my post for the day.
