Writing About My Life Was Hard — But I’m Doing It Anyway


writing_about_life

Writing about my own life is not as easy as it sounds.

It gives me a hard time. Every time I try to write, I feel no spark at all. I sit in front of my computer with a heavy heart and a blank screen. My thoughts are there, but I can’t get them out.

I haven’t posted anything in over three months. I felt like giving up, but deep down, I didn’t want to. Aside from being my bread and butter, I still want to write. Writing is like letting go of the heavy feelings I’ve been carrying. Writing helps me breathe a little easier. Although I did write tidbits in my diary or journal - whatever you call it. Still, it is different from writing on this blog.

The Calendar Month of April


April is the fourth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar, the fifth in the early Julian calendar, and the first of four months to have a length of 30 days. April is commonly associated with spring in parts of the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in parts of the Southern Hemisphere. It is the seasonal equivalent to October in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa.

April was originally the second month of the ancient Roman calendar before January and February were added by King Numa Pompilius about 700 BCE. It became the fourth month of the calendar year (when they show the twelve months) during the time of the decemvirs about 450 BCE when it also was given 29 days. They added the 30th day during the reformat of the calendar undertaken by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE, which produced the Julian calendar.

Storytelling of My Favorite Solitaire Games

The Solitaire games are classic and timeless. It brings back good old memories before having a personal computer. As the saying goes, "oldies but goodies". I remember the siblings of my father when they gather together they play mahjong. Amid all the fights and throwing words against each other when they play, it is all loud voices and peals of laughter for winning the game. Ah, I'm a bit nostalgic. Those were the gold old days when I was a little girl back then.

I brought this up, remembering the past because I saw this classic mahjong games website. Honestly, I do not play this game because my father prohibits me from it. It's okay for me. I am happy and contented watching them, my aunts and uncles playing it with happiness.
