Journal Reflection

    As this semester started and so did my journey on this English course, I found myself with a great challenge in front of me. New tasks came to my hands while getting use to the same routine once more. I must say that I’m not at all a person that constantly spends their time talking only about themselves. From once in a while it will come out of me a thing or two that might be happening in my life but most definitely I will not let out the things that are bothering me. Therefore when I learned about the activity of writing on journals weekly I instantly thought about how it could end up becoming boring just like I think that may happened when talking about myself to other people.

The weeks started passing by with me spending ten minutes of my free time, which is really nothing, just navigating through my mind with deep thoughts that were buried deeply inside. Started writing about animals, aspirations, goals and friendships, all of the normal things we have no fear in letting everyone know. But as the weeks passed by I felt the urge to write something more passionate. Something that would connect me with myself; and I started doing just that, I wrote about my feelings, how I realize that no one is there for you only but yourself. That it is necessary to go through some rough patches so that you can learn for future references because those are the ones that can’t be taught.

This whole experience made me grow as a person and helped me reestablish my mental state of mind which is so needed because at these stages of life is amazingly easy to lose your way. This might all sound a bit narcissistic but I can assure you that I am not even close to it. Just have gone through life wanting to bring every best thing possible for the ones I care about so I have developed a sense of self-care.  Throughout most of my entries I have written how I can improve because my only aspiration in life is to achieve happiness for myself and the ones I love while reaching my goals.
