Welcome to my blog!

I am an English major. They say practice makes perfect so here I am practicing my writing in hopes that some day I will be perfect.
This is the world according to me.
I hope you enjoy my insight as much as I enjoy writing it.

How is YOUR time being used?

I have to admit. I get most inspired to write when I am sitting in coffee houses. This is usually where I can just sit and write. I put my pen to the paper and just let it roll across as words are produced. I know this sounds like a cliche. Who hasn't felt inspired by the atmosphere of a coffee house? How many starving artists produce amazing pieces of art either in the coffee house or just after leaving it?
I am supposed to be working on an essay but it is not due for a few more weeks. I am going to be working on it when I return home from work. Instead I am spending my time writing in the blog in hope that maybe I will get more followers.
I like to write for the simple joy of it. No editing. I embrace an flaws that my writing may have. If I had the time, I would sit in a coffee house from morning until dusk and just write. I would put my hand to the paper in the morning and not remove it until the store closed. However I do not have the time to complete this task.
Time is a delicacy we never seem to have enough of. When we have too much we complain. We do not know how to spend extra time when we get it. We complain of boredom because it is the only thing that makes sense.
In this super busy world, time is a necessity. It is necessary to make time for those who matter in your life. Bank those extra seconds, minutes and hours until you need to use them. Do not waste it. What is that point? You will never get it back. Once time is spent there is no retracing your steps for even an additional second in your life.
Life is too short to spend time on things or people who only bring you down. Smile at everyone you see. A gesture as small as a smile can change someone's day completely around. Be nice to everyone who crosses your path. Anger is a wasted emotion. You can lose a tremendous amount of time with someone because of anger. You never realize how important someone is in your life until they are no longer there.
Time can be used to earn money. I give my time every week and in return am given a pay check. Naturally this works for a majority of people. I agree to give up my time a few hours a week to benefit my future. The cost of tuition is costly but it is worth it in the end. Education is ALWAYS time well spent.
Speaking of time, I am supposed to be working on that essay. I am wasting time in order to write this. Time wasted or time well spent? How are most of your days used? Think about that with each and every decision you make in your life. Some days it is relaxing to let life waste away. It is comforting to see time fly and not have to worry about how it is spent. It is nice to take a breather. I spent 21 minutes writing this and of course I consider it time very well spent!

  1. It's true that time is a very important part of life. It's also intriguing that you can tell where a person's heart and passion are by where the spend their time. I am glad I took the time to check out this blog.
