I have recently decided that I want to start painting again. Not as a career, but simply to meliorate my art skills, which are honestly not too bad. I had first started when I was only 5, but back then, it was only a way to have fun. This time, I actually want to paint, and I know that I have the ability, since my art class this semester has truly inspired me. A few ideas are in my head already, but I believe that the best part will be displaying the final works in my own rooms, and enjoying something I have made every day.
I also cleaned the entire house today, which is not an easy thing to do in a house this size. Sadly, my own room has been neglected, but I will clean this up before bed, since I have company over tomorrow.
Yes, that’s another thing, I actually won’t be home alone tomorrow! And I have finally invited my three best girlfriends over for Friday night as well, which I have never done before. I only have two years of high school life left, so why not actually be aware and enjoy it.
Guess what’s on my desk right now? An answer to a letter that was sent to me over 6 months ago, from my best friend over in Germany. I did not reply to this letter, and now, after half a year, I have finally picked up a pen and written about everything that’s going on. Four pages are inked already, and I’m sure there will be more to come.
I have also cut back on my wasted time on the Internet. I’ve spent most of my time at school, with friends, or at my piano, and I’m noticing that it’s really clearing up my mind.
I have not drunk anything before going to bed ever since I’ve written my last entry. That may only be two weeks, but it’s something. It’s definitely something.
My reputation is fixed, at least for the most part. I am not what some people might still think I am, and, honestly, the only person who truly needs to know that is myself.
I am going the right way, although it’s truly hurting in some parts. But that’s just another step.
