A New Beginning

So it's a new year and I realized I haven't written a blog, well ever. I have a blog already up with my short stories on it, but I have never actually written one. I became a little bit aggravated tonight and decided I needed to write, but I couldn't come up with a short story. I've been talking to one of my friend's that I went to elementary school with and through talking to him I decided it was probably a better idea to write a blog every now and then to get some thoughts out, then to try and cram out some random idea.

Though this year has just started, a few tough things have already happened. One of the main ones being the death of my first pet. He was a beta fish I named Misha Castiel Winchester and I had him for two months. I tried my best to keep him alive, but in the end it was time for him to go. I did cry over his passing, but my parents bought me two new fish and I named them Caspian and Duckie.

Even though it was "only a fish" as some might say, I did learn something from this event. There comes a time when you can't save or hold onto something or someone anymore. You just have to let them go, and it's okay to morn for awhile, it's allowed, but when the time comes to move on you need to pick yourself up and be ready. I don't look at Caspian and Duckie as Misha's replacements. I look at them as a new beginning.

  1. I can relate! You know I cried like a baby over my poor Godzilla. It was a dramatic ending to his life! People just don't understand what it's like to lose your beta fish. I wish I could have been there to go with you to get a new one like you were there for me! I really did appreciate you and Krissy taking care of me that night! Haha.

  2. I like this. Not because Misha died, but because I know what you really mean when you say, "there comes a time when you can't save or hold onto something or someone anymore." That is something I've been dealing with, to a certain extent. Hmm maybe I need to write a new blog post. Either way, you know we are always here for you. Stay strong, beautiful.
