Clean Slate

Starting over is never easy. Ask me, I know. I worked a job for seven long years before the owner forced my boss’s company out, leaving us all jobless. With that, I took several months off. I’ve always loved writing, so I figured this would be my chance to see if I could work something out. Well, as usual, life got in the way.

My days have been packed with different things: the gym, trying to earn money, slacking off. You know how it is. All that it is is an excuse. So finally after all this time, I’m trying out blogging. I started a blog a while back, but it quickly got pushed to the side. I never wanted to invest money in it, therefore I never invested my time. This time is going to be different. It has to be.

I’m starting out this blog, by “starting over”. I need a clean slate to express myself and I figured this was the place to start. So here’s a bit about me. I’m twenty-four years old and live in Texas. I’ve lived here my whole life, so prepare for lots of “ya’lls”. I love reading and writing of course. I’ve been writing novels since I was a freshman in high school, not that any are published yet. Hopefully one day.

I live out in the countryside and love it. I have three dogs that I’m sure ya’ll will hear about later on I’m sure. Pictures will probably be included because they’re just that cute to me. I live a pretty ordinary life so there’s not much to say about me, but maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe some of you can relate to me that way.

I’ll leave this here. If you’re in a rough spot, trust me I am too. Most of the time I’m scared I won’t be able to pay my bills. Christmas is coming up and although I shouldn’t, I’m going to spoil my family. My parents have been here with me through everything that has happened and I owe them so much. They’re my everything. I have a lot of people that are supportive and I couldn’t hope for anything else than that.

There’s times I’m so stressed trying to figure out what to do with my life. I really don’t want to find work out of the house. I love being home with my dogs and family. I like getting to go do things without having to take off or check if I have work. I have a lot of pressure put on me to get a job and sometimes I crumple under that weight. If I have to, I’ll find a job though.

I know a lot of people have it worse than I do. I’m grateful for what I have. If anybody can find help in what I write, then I’m glad. Everyone has rough days, weeks, or even years. We’re all capable of helping ourselves out, whether we know it or not. Sometimes we need that person in our lives to encourage us, see an inspirational quote, or even read some new, crazy blog. You can do it. I believe in you.

Thank you all for reading. I know I didn’t answer a lot about myself, so if there’s anything you’d like to know email me at alittlebiteoflife@yahoo.com. I’ll do a Q&A if I get enough questions Send me your email address for updates on the next post. Stay tuned!
