Emotion to Fiction

 I've been feeling some kind of emotion that has just taken over, lately. Irritated. Impatient. Disappointment. Maybe that's it--a mix of emotions. It seems that when I look outwards, into the world, or at least into this society as a whole, I'm thoroughly disappointed with humanity. How have we come so far just to be so ignorant? How have we disillusioned ourselves to see a country that people rush to in order to be happy, when most people here aren't happy? People don't escape here because it's so wonderful... they escape here because they feel it's better than where they're from. And some of them do so and find they are very much wrong. And some do so without much other choice. This great nation of ours is greatly flawed and I'm disappointed in how ugly everything is here. 

It seems it's this frustration that is becoming the inspiration to my story. I've been searching for something for awhile now that I wanted to turn into a serialized fiction, but perhaps I just need somewhere to sort out my emotions. And why not a story?

Imaginary Life Day 1

Things kinda suck right now. Not like everything is terrible, just more like my patience is constantly being tested and not much is going right. So I've decided I'm going to make up an imaginary life for this blog. Cam and I are getting ready to open up our shop. We had some disagreements on how to decorate it. He wanted something that felt like a coffee shop, cozy that supported local artists, with a natural yet dark color theme. I wanted a vintage vibe, 1920s inspiration, leather chairs, industrial shelving, dark decor. Elegant and sophisticated. But it isn't a coffee shop, or a bar, as mine would have been appropriate for. We are opening up a cupcake shop! Plant-based because we are both lactose intolerant and I never want to make something I can't try. It is also where customers can drop of vintage sewing machines to have serviced. This is a hobby of mine, so it just made sense to have both businesses run out of the same shop. For this reason, we combined the concep...

Back to Basics

 It's been a while since I've journaled online. I probably shouldn't. Love Life has been a bit hectic and I'm almost on the verge of getting overwhelmed. I'm ok for now, though. Last November, I went through a breakup. Somehow ended up with a new boyfriend almost immediately afterwards. And now, we are looking into moving in together. Already. And I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm not sure I've ever looked forward to moving in with ANYBODY. I'd rather be alone. I mean, I'd usually rather be single--I didn't even want to date my last boyfriend. He had to whine and complain and give me an ultimatum which really should've told me something, but I think I was too depressed to listen to reason. Now I'm with a guy that I actually love to be around and that makes me feel secure and happy. Who knew that was actually  a thing? Career You know how, by my age, I'm supposed to have things figured out, but then we find out a lot of peopl...
