Students: make sure you've read the assigned Forbes article on "Scannable Content" before creating your first post:

Acknowledge that writing is hard. Write it down. Then write about how you’re going to make writing happen. How will you find the balance in yourself to combine willpower with relaxation, stubbornness with joy? Write about how you’ve struck this balance in the past, with writing, a sport, a musical instrument—anything you’ve successfully learned to do.

Sometimes I really get this vibe that stuff are happening too fast. Or I just can’t believe that those things are happening to me. Either the good ones or the bad ones. To be honest...there was a time that the bad came in a greater amount and I believed that I deserved them. Now, the wheel is being turned around and I’m starting to believe that both kinds of things keep happening...it depends on how you deal with them.

Since I’ve started this blog, my life got turned around. I can barely remember the bullies from my school in New York. I started this blog as one Noelle and now I’m completely another one. I feel rather new. I’ve learnt lots of stuff, went through a lot and now I’m here, wondering if I’ll keep doing this blog journal thing to track down a progress. My progress. Call me crazy, I just...today, it was the first time in years that I stopped in the middle of Central Park and looked at the view, on my way to work. And the existential crisis has struck.

Wed Aug 23rd  Entry #1 

I’ve recently begun work on a vegan activism video. It will feature a song from Bright Eyes and be inspirational, emotionally heavy, but hopefully up-lifting. I’ll use found footage from famous youtubers Earhling Ed, Joey Carbstrong, James Aspey, and more. Wish me luck! Follow me on social media to get updates on everything I’m working on and my future activism. 

Journal # 1

The subject that I saw from my scibble is originally is a rose. However, after days of looking at my paper, I felt like it lacks something. It felt like it was plain-looking that's why I colored it and added details like a butterfly to give it life. The thing is, I have nothing but an almost empty marker, my everyday ballpen, and my red, blue, and orange low-quality markers. I tried to make it pretty as much as I could though.

I think the reason why I saw a rose from my scribble is because I always get a glimpse of my boardmate's art, who also happens to enroll at an art appreciation course, illustrates a bouquet full of flowers.
