I've noticed over the past couple of years that holidays seem to mean less and less to me. Just another day. Nothing significant. I only remembered it was Halloween when I heard the kids outside and saw the lights of the fire trucks. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter. They're not days I look forward to. I miss that.
I feel like I want to post here more often. I'm not sure there's much of a point to it, though.I just want to write.
Write all of my thoughts down.
But I want my words to be kept safe.
I can't afford Microsoft.
I don't trust Google Docs.
I already feel like I've written too much on the internet.
I just want to get out of my head. It seems impossible.
I guess there's a meteor shower going on right now. Apparently called the Geminids. I can't see them where I am, though.
What a shame.
I've always wanted to see a meteor shower.
Less than 15 minutes 'til the New Year. I think I'll fall asleep before then. I'm so tired. I don't care about New Year's anyway. Not anymore. It's just a day. Just a year.
WOW. It's been over a year since I've been here. Holy cow. It's so interesting to read back on my old posts. See how I've changed, and how I've stayed the same. I look at some posts with pride, and others with cringe. Oh well.

Oh, and to anyone reading this, Happy New Year.
Confession time:I can't remember the last time I finished reading a book.
It's not that I don't like reading. I've just lost all focus. For anything.
You know, when I first got on goodreads it was because, at the time, I loved to read. I wanted to talk about books and get recommended new ones.
But soon I found these people, and these certain discussion threads(one in particular) that became a sort of community. We would have fun and chat with eachother. I remember the laughs, the tears, the drama. I cared about these people. That's what goodreads became for me. Not just a site about books, but a site where I could vent about my stupid life, and hear about other people's problems and lives as well.
I also found debate threads where I would learn more about the other person's point of view. Those discussions, though I didn't realize it at the time, made me a better, more tolerant person.
Also, the people of goodreads don't just recommend books. They recommend tv shows and youtube channels as well. And some of those things have changed my life for the better as well. I honestly have no idea who I would be if it weren't for goodreads.
And now, I feel like a fake. A goodreads user who doesn't read. Believe me, I would like to. I've just lost focus. Maybe lost interest? I don't know. It's like I have a whole different brain now.
I just want to thank everyone who has been kind to me on this site, and apologize to anyone I may have been rude to in the past.
And I want to try, once again, to be a part of goodreads. Maybe I'll actually read this time.
Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans! And to everyone else, I hope y'all have a nice day, too.I honestly don't care for the 4th of July too much, simply because of the fireworks. Barbecues and American flags are fine. Fireworks are annoying, though.

It's nice to see you're still here, though. :)
