I haven't written in a long while. Simply because I have had nothing to say. Tonight I got the urge to write.. just to write something, a poem a story anything. I find that I suck at writing lately. But Ryan tells me that I should try my hardest because he knows that I have potential to get somewhere. Tommi [Guy D :)] tells me the same thing. I often doubt myself when it comes to my writing. Maybe its because all through life I've been told that I was never good enough, at anything, for anyone. I just got pretty sick of it. In middle school I was on top of everything, I was in band, I kicked ass in music class. I was the best math student, I was even recommended to take Advanced math. English was my weak spot, although I looked forward to spelling tests because I hate spelling wrong and I worked extra hard. I also kicked ass in French. I was never good in art.. I had no imagination. Ive always based life on real experiences, there are no "What ifs" with me. You could ask me any question, and I'd have 2 opinions on it. I'm always in the middle with something. I'm that understanding.. it scares me that I don't really have an opinion on anything other than myself. When I got to High School, I had no interests, I wasn't good at anything. I failed Math and English. My stage fright stopped me from being able to preform music and I dropped out of band. And I failed any music class I took, so eventually gave up. And I still was no good in Art. I coasted through High School and only one class before grade 12 interested me. Writing 110. It was then when I found out I was -Good- in writing. I was the youngest student in the class, I was only 15 at the time of taking the class when the other students were 16 and 17. But I had the highest mark in the class, and because of writing class, I had passed English.
My writing teacher showed me that I was good at something, and she helped me with english.. she had faith in me. She saw in me something I couldn't see in myself. Grade 11.. I still sucked at school. Took Law class.. sorta became interested in that. But writing was still my thing, although I never really did anything about it. I actually failed Math that year.. I had never failed math the years before but got by with a 60. English was my highest mark that year. With an 80. We did a lot of writing in that class. And as long as I know what I'm writing about, I can write amazingly. I fail to remember what else took place that year with my schooling, but it was definitely one of my worst years. Grade 12.. I had English with the most amazing teacher.. and I even though I got a 75, I learned more in that class then all my years in High School. She encouraged me with my writing even more. But still I did nothing about it.. although I did write a few poems, I don't believe that they are anything to be proud about.
The point behind this.. I was too afraid to live my dreams. I let myself get discouraged by other people. Even though I DON'T care what people think of me, they got under my skin and affected me without me knowing. And even now, I don't believe that anything I attempt to write will be of any good standard. Its a shame..
