I love writing. ANYTHING. Really, I do. You might not think so, being around me in English class, or maybe doing a book report. But I do LOVE writing. But, when I do my blog I always seem to just make a mess of my words and end up saving every entry in my drafts. Which is a lot like my life. I have dreams, dreams you wouldn't think I have. But like almost everything else I do, I put them on hold. Myself gets in the way of what I want to achieve. For example. I want to start piano lessons, but I "forget" to call or make up an excuse not to go. I think that is because when I was younger I quit almost everything I started. Maybe because I wasn't good or maybe its because I didn't push myself hard enough, or even at all. But life shouldn't be like that, life shouldn't be a huge write up just to end up saving it in drafts to never look at again. And from now on, I'm not going to get in the way of my own self achievement. This post I went over many times, but still a hundred more times I would think it isn't good enough, even though no one is going to read it. I just want to be good enough, good enough at writing, good enough for the people I don't talk to, good enough for life. Again, life isn't about being good enough for others, it's about being good enough for yourself. I now except that I don't play sports, that I'm not the prettiest or well dressed girl and I'm not going to be valedictorian. But I AM going to make something of this thing we call "life", if you don't think so, if you have doubts on me, then I don't need you to even be around. Getting out of this small town, and moving to a big city for a little part of my life., can't wait.
P.S I Love You.

Morgan, this describes my feelings exactly! I feel like I'm not "great" at anything, I either suck or I'm just "okay." And "okay" is not good enough! I want to be excellent, outstanding, and I feel like if I'm not, I will be doomed to carry on a normal, boring life that most people have, and I DO NOT want that! But I have a hard time sticking to and finishing things too, especially if I can't do it right away.
