I Just Wanna Take a Nap

 

Hello World,

Let me introduce myself. My pen name is Anniekenz. I have written on and off before on here. I like long walks on the beach and ice cream. I am a full time university student that also works. You will get to know more about me later, but for now let's get to the chat.

So today I wanna discuss a situation that I am sure all of you can relate to, being tired. But I am not just talking about physical tiredness. I am talking about tired in every sense of the word. Tired emotionally, physically, and mentally. Yet, no matter how much you sleep it can't fix the problem. I am a very social person, but I am at this point in my life where I just don't want to indulge negative behaviors in people. There is something I neglected in the past and that is those friends that will never get upset or shaken over me not wanting to hang out or talk on the phone. I didn't use to like talking on the phone much nor did I like texting. However, due to some raised concerns I changed. But after several years of keeping up with all this I am tired. And this might all be due to COVID19 taking a toll on people's lives, but the point remains that I am not as happy as I used to be. There is a lot more that plays a role here, but the main point is the expectation to always call people or text people when I know so many people (I have a big family and quite a bit of friends) is just too much. It is now a burden on my soul. People have nothing better to do since they are stuck inside due to the pandemic and they all want to socialize. I love to socialize so don't get me wrong, but I love being alone a lot more. The privilege that comes with having a moment to breathe and reflect to oneself is one that I hold dear. But not many people understand that that it is possible for you to be an extrovert and an introvert at the same time. My social meter is very short. Once I am home it is over. I am more of a morning person so as soon as 3pm hits my social meter has already started to go down. By 9pm I am just ready for bed. This all makes me feel so bad for the people around me that cannot understand. It is not that I don't like you. I have so much to do with school and work and personal activities and that alone drains my energy to the lowest percentage. Like am I the only person who feels this way? That cannot be true. For there must be thousands of other people who are just like me. An extrovert and introvert combination, like cafe con leche if you will. I will not feel sorry for taking care of myself. If I have to study then that takes priority. You cannot as a friend of mine look me in the eye and tell me to overlook my work for some good time when studying is more important than having pink moscato at Moe's Tavern. I value myself enough to know that my future is dependent on me passing my courses. And let me tell you something if you are paying out of pocket for classes the money that you pay for your classes hits different. To look at your paycheck go into paying for school instead of going out and spending money is not easy. I say all this to say I am tired. I am tired. I am tired. I just wanna take a nap at the beach all day, but I can't because I got 'SpOnSeRbErLeRiES. So that means I cannot be selfish. The better word to use here would be refuse. I refuse to be selfish.

Inked

Somewhere along the way I dropped something. I can't remember what it is. I don't even remember the exact time. But for sure I dropped something. I wish I were told when I did. But who else can I blame but myself. In a world full with pretense that everything is okay, being the the bleeding pen doesn't hurt as bad. Spilling ink as if there was an unlimited source of ink. Spilling like there is no tomorrow. The color looks so beautiful as the sunlight hits the ink. It feels good to feel something other than pure bliss and the occasional frustration. It feels like I am alive. I have fallen off cloud nine only to be met by broken glass. I didn't see it coming. It hurts a little, maybe a lot.  It felt like a sting. No, more like the reaper somehow took a piece of my heart. I whisper to myself, I will be okay. I have to be, because a broken heart could be my demise.

As the saying goes...

As the saying goes, luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Let's analyze. Preparation can be described as training or development. Are you training? Are you building yourself? For some reason it seems to be hard for people to grasp the fact that they have to work hard to get what they want in life. While you go out partying with "Susie"every night, Susie is getting home late after partying to study and work hard. She will go to bed at 4 a.m. working hard while you will go to bed at 4 a.m. because you are up watching Netflix. Don't let Susie hinder you from your success because Susie will never tell you that she has to work hard to get what she wants. Susie herself doesn't believe she is working hard enough. Susie thinks her success is luck but if you knew it all you would understand that Susie's success is based solely on hard-work. "If  a man will not work, he shall not eat."

Take the Garbage out!!!

If you are with a man who you feel needs to change who he is simply to make you happy and not for his own good, let that man go. He is not for you. A man who is packaged for you will be so right for you that you will want him with all his flaws. You are whole as a human being. Stop looking for someone to complete you. A person can only complement you. It does not matter how nice someone seems if the person is causing you emotional or physical pain, let that person go. The same rule applies to everyone that comes into your life. If you have a friend who is constantly asking you to change to fit their narrative of what a friend should be, throw that friend away. That friend is not yours. That friend is somebody else's. The reverse can also be said. The only reason you should be asking someone to change or someone should be asking you to change it is if and only if you have a particular habit that is negative and needs an update. If the person is trying to infiltrate your mind wi...
