Icy roads

Class has been canceled all week. It's not the snow, really, but the ice. Fine with me, ha ha! Being able to, work on my homework at my own pace while interweaving my business duties, and recreational art without having to stress about the commute.

Its weird. I have anxiety when it comes to driving. I used to not mind at all but now the idea of being stuck in heavy traffic makes my heart race. Is this what rabbits feel like all the time? I don't mind long drives. That is to say I don't mind long drives as long as I'm driving. I've recently started to get car sick when I'm a passenger.

The snow is on it's way out. The wind has picked up so it's blizzard flavored weather. I already talked about the snow, haven't I? Sheesh, I'm boring today.

I started the DLC for Horizon: Zero Dawn, and I like it so far. I'm curious to see how it will tie into the lore of the main game. I suspect that "The Spirit" is one of the sub-programs of Gaia, and the "Daemon" is a Hades glitch.

The bones aren't scary; it's the meat

What is " Authentic self "? Humans are impressionable beings. We absorb our surroundings, mimic others in our environments. For safety, comfort, acceptance. Do we push our true selves away?

I shared a high-five with a woman in my Social and Emotional Foundations class for having chronic anxiety in common. I am authentically anxious but do I define myself by it? Finding camaraderie among fellow anxiety riddled individuals helps with the struggle. It encourages continuing the conversation on mental health, and tearing down the stigma of shame. Lady Gaga wrote "I am obsessively opposed to the typical", and I feel that this describes me perfectly. My authentic self was found beneath the rubble of castles torn down. Dishonest keeps of identities I desperately wanted for the sole acceptance of trash.

One of those strange happenings sort of days

Assignment: write a scene (a double-spaced page) that shows your character in a situation that forces them to act "out of character." Write a scene that shows your character committing a slightly immoral act. This is done to add dimension to your character. Think small, quiet actions. Maybe your character tells a lie, gossips, confesses a secret. What propels your character into this action? Place your character in a specific setting and go from there. o0o A news clipping of an article titled “Three-week-old corpse doing better, family tells coroner” sat abandoned on a table at Starbucks. Maeve frowned at it from where she stood at the counter waiting for her fair-trade coffee. It lay open on one of the uncomfortable-by-design wooden chairs. The clipping looked old and was parched and yellowed along the edges, and in the creases from where it had once been folded into quarters.             From where she stood Maeve could no...
