Buddhism has come and gone in my life before, and I’d like to say this time it’s permanent. This time it feels like a change in my life and not an addition to it. I feel not obliged to sit because it will make me enlightened, but because I just feel dirty when I don’t. That’s not a good way of putting it, but yeah.

How I did it: I started late. My novel was just a premise, I had no outline of any sort and looking back that's what made my ending so awful. The last two days consisted of me writing some of the most amazing dialogue ever written because I had no idea what I was doing.I have never felt more proud though. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I did it with great difficulty at first. I no longer have to wake up at a certain time every morning, but whenever I do have something to do, I'm up as soon as the alarm goes off. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I did it slowly. It's not an overnight thing, it'll be more like weeks of you working on being better and then one day you realize how much progress you've made. I had a lot of self-loathing issues, and now I'm a lot better because I realized that sitting around hating myself doesn't fix anything. Read how I did it…

I really need to find something I’m passionate about. I feel like I’m just kind of hovering here until I do. Nothing really drives or inspires me at all. I need something.
I’m going through university for a bachelors in English, then I’m going to get a master’s in counseling, then a PhD in Psychology because it’s what my dad did and it feels like the lesser or a group of evils.
But really I don’t know what I want to do. I always say I want to be a writer, but I don’t even know if that’s true.
I don’t have any passions or anything, and I always start doing things and then quit.
