escape .

Christmas break is finally here. Exams were rough, even though I only had 2. They were my two hardest classes. With my lack of motivation and winter blues, it was hard to study. I got by with the very least of studying that made me confident enough to take the exam.

When anxiety surrounds your daily activities, it's hard to keep going. I have gotten much better at it in the last couple months with a lot of help from loved ones and I have been able to rejoin the world of doing what I want to do when I feel like it. 

One of these things is reading. I used to be a reading fiend when I was younger. I'd devour an entire novel within an afternoon, and then reread it the next day because I felt like I did not absorb all of it the first time. 

Reading let's me escape and I love it. Who doesn't want to escape? I've always wanted to write my own story. Escape into a world with my own characters and ideas and values. Maybe this is something I should start in 2017. Who knows, maybe it'll take me somewhere I never thought I'd go!
