Fearless 2013

Have you conquered any of your fears this year? 

2013 was a pretty eventful year for me. I've done a lot of things I've never done before, like set up an online shop, join orgs, direct a short film, write a screenplay - but the one thing I've done this year that I am most proud of is creating this blog. Now that it's about to come to a close, I can't believe I've become so fearless.



I was a writer, I am a writer, and I always will be a writer. Who cares if I'm not employed in a magazine or newspaper or that I haven't had a single story published? I write and write and write, and no one can ever take that away from me. 

I'm proud of my writing.

And this is the fear I've conquered in 2013. 

Countdown to 2k14: The Two Things I Don't Want To Be Around

'Hey everyone! There's only 2 days left til the New Year, so I'll be dedicating this post to the 2 things I don't like being around.

Just to be clear, this post isn't about the things I hate. It's about what I don't want to be around, but not because I'm disgusted or anything. I'm probably not making sense right now so I'll just proceed to the list and hope you understand what I'm talking about better.

1. Clowns
I don't mean to offend any clowns or clown-lovers reading this. I'm also not judging clowns or anything, it's just that I don't like being around them. I find them kinda creepy. I guess I watch too much horror movies. I have never had a clown at any of my birthday parties and when I go to birthday parties with clowns, I stay as far away as I can from the clowns. I guess it's not just clowns, I also seem to dislike being around mascots, geishas (though I've never been around one), mimes, people with masks on... (I still don't mean to offend anyone). I think I just don't like being around strangers whose faces I can't see. I don't know if this is connected to something or what it says about me but all I know is that clowns and the other things I talked about make me want to get away from the room they are in.

2. Cockroaches


I'm not trying to be the typical girl here, talking about being 'scared' of cockroaches, I'm just saying that when I see a cockroach... I run. I guess this started when I found a cockroach in my shoe. I was so thankful that I wore socks when I realized there was a cockroach. They also look gross so that's another reason. 

I'm including these things in the countdown because when the year 2014 comes, I want to be able to work on not being too freaked out when a clown or cockroach comes near me.

Have a fear-free day!!

New Year Countdown: 2 days!!

The Christmas Series: The Six Basic Expressions

The six basic expressions are:
1. Happiness


2. Sadness


3. Surprise

4. Fear
5. Disgust

6. Anger


It's kinda obvious why I am thankful for these six basic emotions but I'm gonna explain anyway. These emotions are used everyday by everyone, and I know that there are a lot of other emotions, but I believe that these are the most well-known out of them all. Without these emotions, we would become infinitely robot-like and I'm pretty sure we don't need that (well most of us). 


These emotions are the root for a lot of other emotions and if we didn't have these emotions, would there be any other emotions? These emotions are all linked to one another, even the opposing emotions like happiness and sadness. To truly appreciate happiness, we must first feel the greatest sadness that we have known, and to truly understand sadness we need to feel the greatest happiness in this world. Anger leads to happiness and relief when all that anger has gone away.



I don't want to live in a world without these emotions. They are the reasons why we aren't machines (aside from being made of flesh and blood) and I hope that we can all learn to appreciate these emotions even the negative ones.
