100

Wow. My hundredth post on this website. It's insane how that happens, looking back, it's been three years now since I've started writing, it all started a late Friday night when I was bored; I was a fourteen year old freshmen, trying to figure out how to ingratiate into a new high school. My first post was, immaculately, titled New Things. I didn't think much of my writing for quite awhile, but since I was writing inspirational, motivating, positive pieces of prose, I thought it would be best if I shared it. That caused the creation of this site. When I started writing, as previously stated, I was bored, and wanted to see if I simply had the ability to write something uplifting. I was slowly oscillating from spreading negativity, which I often did in middle school, to spreading positivity. Making people laugh, smile, feeling better, not worse about themselves, about the world. I was a kid just writing, but this writing facilitated in aiding me master my mind. Now I can switch instantly between pessimism and optimism, realism, and cynicism, and I can see things primarily through a neutral lens. I can switch my way of speaking from depressing to elating, from livid to serenity, from hate to love. While there were tons of factors that went into this besides writing, writing helped me be versatile, it held me back from being negative or neutral 100% of the time, it made me think through the week, "what inspirational topic will I write about this week?" Now versatility is vital to me, and, while I'm still improving, I am satiated with my progress in the past three years. Also, in the beginning I had one consistent reader being my uncle, sometimes my father, sometimes a brother of mine, and now I have people actually reading my blogs, whether it be every week, or every time they remember I post, I'm still getting more views. Which is dope, even making this website, I didn't expect anything, just made it because it was a nicer way to organize my writing, and it gave me practice in creating a website. Now I shamelessly plug this website all the time—definitely helping in my view count.

Enough about the past though, let's discuss the future for a minute. I'll hopefully continue writing, I hope to expand my blogs to be a bit more personal at times, and try to stray away from only doing five paragraph essay type posts, and more short burst paragraphs, more spontaneous. However, we'll see how that turns out. Next to that, I hope to continue writing for a long time, it's a wonderful outlet, allows me to practice my speech, practice rhetoric, and saying, "I've been writing for three years." The last one is obviously the most decisive reason.

In general, however, I wanna try more things with the blog, if you read my posts, you probably see my word highlighting, maybe instead of that I can try... That will, however, require me to learn HTML again, so that might be a challenge, but if it seems to fit, then I wouldn't mind trying.

Other than that, let's talk about today, the present. I'm sixteen, I'm trying my best to evolve my mind every day, I'm currently trying to stop judging and connotating, expecting things, and complaining. I'm trying to start accepting everyone and thing, and I can definitely say it's challenging. I'll have posts coming up on those things some time in the future, so look forward to that. There's not much else, I contemplate what would happen if I got burnt out, I am trying to help my buddy and his blog, all-in-all, I'm just trying to continue learning.

That should be all. If you read this far, thank you, it's truly appreciated, and depending on how long you've been following these posts, I hope you've seen improvement, and I hope you will continue to see improvement. You're amazing, just like the week you're going to have, and I'll see you the next, peace.
