I try to spend my time working on my studies and speaking with people, kind of like learning how to keep conversation going since that has always been a bit lacking in my life.

By learning how to just talk, I'm expanding my circle of friends and opening myself up to new experiences.

I also try putting together outfits for fashion's sake or go and browse through stores (even if I hardly ever buy anything ).

Reading, writing, and drawing are also helping to open up a store of creativity inside of me that I never even knew I had. These thoughts and actions are leading to cravings for odd ways of expressing myself (oftentimes just by going out and collecting beautiful buttons or stones to arrange them in patterns).

I also try to speak more clearly by trying to break away from my Southern accent and use proper English.

I want to take a 1 month challenge of creativity where you stop for a little while and just draw/sketch/paint/photograph whatever is on your mind for one day every day.

Want to try so much more but am taking baby steps so I don't get overwhelmed again.
