New Niche

March 22nd, 2022

Bullying is a new niche that I will be discussing. I have decided to talk about this topic because I have experienced this all throughout my school years, including college. This is also a second factor (after autism) to my past issues with self acceptance, thoughts of suicide (currently seeking treatment), and discomfort with being around people. The scars from being bullied forever stay with you, no matter how much time passes by. They’re like open wounds that cannot be fully healed, only managed.

As much as my experiences with bullying hurt, I am aware that there are those who have it far worst than me. Because of this, I have come to peace with my past and forgiven those who bullied me. Today, my heart aches for the victims who are now adults and the young victims in school getting bullied on the daily. If only a solution to this problem was made. The world would be a much better place if something is done about bullying. I know that writing about bullying will not solve the issue, but it can make those who are bullying aware of the damage they are doing to their victims. Maybe this will urge them to rethink their actions and stop bullying altogether.

THE NOVEL

Spoiler alert: this will be an issue that will play a role on the novel I am currently working on. This excites me even more! Adding this issue to my novel will make my readers aware of how devastating this issue is, especially to students with special needs. Their physical and/or mental limitations make it harder for them to deal with this. This is such a common problem in school and the workplace that it compelled me to add a bully (or bullies) to my story. Other than autism awareness, another hope is to spread awareness the effects bullying has on all children if no action is taken.

I have to say this. I know it’s very uneasy seeing this, but bullying is very dangerous. It may look harmless in some cases, but all cases of bullying are equally dangerous. This is another reason why I have decided to choose bullying as a second niche. It cannot be thrown under the rug. The issue cannot be diluted. If children in school have to put up with their bullies on a daily basis, then this should be no problem to talk about. Am I right?

If this encourages one parent of a victim to reach out for help or one parent of a bully to do something about their child’s dangerous deeds, that would be incredible!

I conclude that there will be a third niche I will be bringing to my blog. I will discuss it when the time is right. The bullying niche needs time to be fitted into my blog 🙂 Until then, catch you all later!
Birthday Month

February 8th, 2022

Yep, February is my birthday month. I will be 34 in 23 days. I know that I’m not getting any younger (none of us are), but I am honestly much happier now than I was in my 20’s.

My 20’s were years of searching for a purpose. Like, what can an autistic woman like myself offer to a world that is confusing to her? I had no answer. Knowing this, I switched my major countless times in college, searching for a purpose.
I felt like I was on an long empty street. I thought to myself, ”This street has to lead me somewhere. Where am I going?”

I kept walking down that empty street in hopes of getting an answer. Yes, I was getting tired, but my life’s purpose was out there somewhere.

Then October 2021 came. After letting go of a toxic relationship, I realized that my purpose involved writing. Also, writing a book is part of that purpose. The desire to write a novel was there for almost a decade but I had no idea what message I wanted to put forth. Because of that, I pretty much put the calling aside and searched for another purpose.

I continued on with life. I went to work and continued maintaining my household. Meanwhile, the book calling never went away. There are countless days where the thought was not there at all, but it would eventually turn on like a light switch without warning.

Realizing that the thought of writing a book was not going away, I have decided to start my outline in January of 2022. I have no idea what I am doing. Also, I have never written a book before. Meanwhile, I will not allow those excuses to be obstacles and will cooperate with my love for writing. It’s something that never leave me.

There’s a fictional story growing within me and will put it down in words as it comes. I don’t know where it will lead, but taking the chance is the best choice 🙂

If I have learned anything, it’s this: Never ignore the calling within you, no matter what the reason is. You never know how many blessings you can miss by doing so.
