Big Magic Book Review

Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert was such a great book, its a self help book that makes you really branch out from your comfort zone. This book was so rewarding to me, it really made me branch out and find things that i love to do and just to create with no boundary and to create with no fear as well. It's scary to want to do something creative on your own, doing the short story was scary to me because i was afraid of possibly the judgements that could be made from it but this book is more than a book to me to be honest, it's been a life lesson and a quote to live by, just create to create and don't be afraid to do anything that you really aspire to do. It's a hard process to go through, wanting to create something without constant questions or fears related to it, but you have to at some point live freely and live with love, and for me that's been the hardest thing of all because i carry so much weight on myself because of my anxiety so i end up doubting a lot of the skills that i have but reading this book just really helped me get rid of those menacing thoughts and it let me hone in on projects that i see myself enjoying and actually taking pride in. I recommend this book to anyone who really wants to live a more freeing life, especially if anyone is in a slump right now, i think this book is very inspiring and motivating.

JOURNAL PROMPT #1: WHAT IS ONE CONSISTENT PRACTICE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THROUGH THIS QUARANTINE?

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new project in this time that I believe would help the most to reach others with. I want to make my own journal prompts for people to view and to hopefully write to. I would love to see any responses if anyone feels comfortable to share, there is no pressure at all, just love. I've always had a comfort in writing and the connectedness I feel when I write something not only for others to view by for myself to reflect on. I hope that throughout these weekly journal prompts it will ease a bit of the quarantine tension and unite us through writing. With each journal prompt I make I will be responding to my own prompt to give others a view of what I personally think at the time. My Response: The one consistent practice that I've been trying to do is at least write once a day. Whether that be in my planner or if I just write out a whole letter to someone to give later on. I want to be able to keep my spirits high by at least writin...

Coping With Isolation

I hope everyone's doing well with all that is going on. I'm sure one day we will all be able to engage in the lives we once had before any of this happened. But for now all that we can do is keep ourselves afloat and balanced. How do you cope with isolation? How are these times treating you? Are you doing stuff you love? Stuff you wished you had more time for and now that you do are you trying to take advantage of it? One of my loves has always been writing because it's my form of expression, I think sometimes written words convey a lot more of my emotions than when I say them out loud. And throughout this time I've been at least trying to incorporate writing, and I've started to write letters to my friends. My friend reached out to me recently and asked if I wanted her to write me a letter, and honestly words can't describe just how giddy I felt in that moment. Of course I would agree to it, why haven't I done this sooner? Why are we not connecting like ...

What I Would Tell My Younger Self

Hello everyone, i've always been fascinated with the idea of what i would possibly tell my younger self if i had the choice to do so. I've realized that there's a lot i would want to say for obvious reasons like the fact that i was sexually abused and kept it in for so long, i would've liked to express that at an earlier time if i could've because keeping something like this from anybody was really damaging for me and i can't really do anything about it now but bring more awareness to it and work on myself as an individual. There's other lessons i'd like to teach to my younger self like having your first heartbreak will suck and it'll take a lot of energy out of you and make you feel like you were the reason as to why it all happened, but you should never doubt yourself as a person, in the relationship i grew and he didn't want to grow with me so there's nothing that i did wrong. Even though we had arguments here and there, i did the bes...
