Reading or Writing?

This past semester has been so busy. I think I stressed myself out to the max. I think stress basically sums up my entire 2013. Whether I was dealing with illnesses or death of people close to me, or hitting the books, I was constantly in a battle last year. I feel like I spent the entire year in an emotional over drive. I think that's why I was able to read so many books. Because reading gave me an escape. It gave me a brief period of relief, because it allowed me to forget. I love that feeling of being so consumed in a book that everything around you ceases to exists. I'm one of those people who can read in a loud room and still totally zone out. I am guilty of bringing my kindle to the dinner table and people having a full conversation with me without me even noticing. Reading is my addiction, but I don't care because it keeps me sane.

Thats all of the books more or less on my kindle that I've read. Clearly there are to many to review right now. If you would like a review on a specific series or book let me know and I will gladly give it.

So although my posting on this blog may be lacking, my book reading has still been going strong and so has my writing. I took a creative writing class this fall semester and got an A. It was one of my favorite classes because I think making myself sit down and actually write is the hardest part. Once I sit down and get an idea in my head I tend to take off. And writing actually makes me feel better its another way to deal with life. I use reading to escape but I think I use writing to cope. Writing things out sometimes helps me see things from a different perspective. I don't know maybe its silly but it helps me deal heres a short clip about anxiety:

PANIC

You’re sitting outside on the trunk of your beat up car. The car, that always breaks no matter how many times you service it a year. You curse the car to hell and look up at the stars. The reason you came out here was because you just needed to escape before you broke down in front of all those people. You feel like you can’t breathe, yet every time you take a deep breath in and then let it out, you have no trouble. Yet, still, you have that sense that you cannot get enough oxygen into your lungs.  You can feel your heart pounding inside your chest. You feel nauseous and you can feel the goose bumps starting at your toes and quickly making their way up your spine. Your vision starts to blur on the sides and you get that tension headache that throbs right behind your eyes. You swear that it can’t just all be in your head, there has to be something wrong with you. You must have some incurable disease or a brain tumor that’s inoperable.  You look down at your blue jeans and focus on the stitching while you take a deep breath to try and calm yourself. Next, your check your pulse, on both wrist for good measure and then on your neck, just to make sure you’re not having some sort of stroke and to make sure your blood is still flowing through your veins.  You ask yourself “What the hell is wrong with me? Why do I have these attacks? Is it really all in my head?” “No it can’t be”, you tell yourself. You know you can’t be crazy because of your skin. You don’t know if its hives, shingles, eczema or what. You mind is moving so fast. It keeps telling you a hundred diagnoses a minute. When did you get like this? When did you become afraid of life? Anxiety is a scary thing. Is it your fault? Is there something you do that sets it off? Or are you just crazy? Well let’s be honest you are crazy, but you meant a different kind of crazy.

Eh just something I wrote for homework for class. Anyways the Patriots are playing in the playoffs right now so I think I'm going to go enjoy the game. I just wanted to post something new since its been months. I apologize to my fans out there. (which probably consist of my 1 friends, who is to busy to actually read this consistently so she prob didn't even notice I stopped posting). Sigh.
