Something Wonderful Is Happening To Me

With an easy passing day, I'm noticing shifts in my life. I'll sit down to watch an old movie, but I constantly stop it and think about writing. I'm not making any conscious connection between the movies I watch and what I write. I just find that I feel better when I'm writing more than anything else. 

Whether using pen and paper or typing away, the happiness increases. I've learned to use my instincts at times like this and see where they lead me. I feel more at peace when I write, which sparks memories and inspiration for stories.  I vowed to write every day, and as long as I feel like this, it won't be a problem. I changed my focus to interact directly with those who support me instead of simply trying to play the ‘seeing how many people I can follow and hope for the best approach.’ While it may yield some results, I don't believe it is the right approach for me. Instead, I interact with those people who interact with me. As things happen, followers are attracted and maintained organically. 

When someone is kind enough to respond to one of my stories, I go to their stories and try to return the favor. 

While I try to write at least one story each day, I want to maintain whatever quality I have rather than focus on quantity. Therefore, some stories might take several days to get ready, while others are published almost immediately. There is no ironclad right or wrong approach because each story is different. Not that my stories are perfect, but they shouldn't be rushed. 

I've noticed that my stories seem to be garnering more reads and views since I took this new approach, and that adds to the happiness that I'm already feeling.

I want this feeling to continue forever because it is such a natural high.

Because this is an election year, my attitude shift is for the best. I can't watch the news anymore because it either annoys or depresses me, and who needs that?

There's more than enough trouble in the world. I don't need to add or have it on my shoulders. Enjoying life is something we all should be able to do without fear or prejudice, but so many in the world want to keep control of everybody, and they do that through the use of that same fear and prejudice. Nothing is wrong with feeling good and doing what you enjoy, as long as it doesn't affect or harm others. That's why I'm excited about my writing. I want to continue to write. I want to get better, and I want to make friends while I'm doing it. This is all just a big adventure, and I love an adventure.

It's time to close this story because others have to be written. Have a great day and savor every moment of your life! Just remember to be kind to each other.
