Time to spill the tea

“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”  - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord Of The Rings

Hello dear readers,

First and foremost, I want to thank you for reading this blog! This was just a little project I did for me to work on my creative writing. It has helped me get back into that mindset and I am quite happy that I have started writing again. 

Today, I feel like using this little blog as a journal and just writing about what is going on in my life and spilling some tea! So sit back, get your beverage, maybe even some popcorn and enjoy! 

I figured I would write something a little easy today because I feel like writing but I have no inspiration to write a poem or a story so I thought I would give a life update because those are fun! I also have Covid and it is hard to get all creative when your mind is fuzzy so I thought I would write about what has been going on behind the scenes so to speak.  I must admit, I am super lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life who have sent me get well wishes, and brought me groceries and vape juice. I wouldn't have made it through this without you!

I found out on Monday that I got accepted to University! I kept my application secret from most people because I didn't want to jinx anything. I will be starting in January for the winter semester. I got accepted into my first choice program, English Literature and I am super excited. I have a few things I need to do before getting started and now that I feel semi-human today, I plan on getting some things out of the way. 

I looked at the course load and I am super stoked. There are so many really neat classes I want to take and there is even a whole class dedicated to J.R.R. Tolkien! How cool is that?

Despite being accepted into University, I still have some self-doubts. I mean, I am in my early forties and while I always believe it is never too late to follow your dreams, I am terrified. Failure is not an option and I am fighting that little voice inside me that tells me that I am not good enough or smart enough. Time to prove that anxiety wrong because despite my fears and self-doubt, this is what I want to do and nothing will stop me!

The timing is right for me to go back to school and it just seems like this is meant to happen. I am going to seize this opportunity and have some of the best years of my life while studying the works of Tolkien, Stoker, Shelley, Chaucer, Bronte and many more! 

 So wish me luck and here is to the next chapter!
