An optimistic writer's pessimistic journey towards finding the right words. Blocked and Bored with Myself. I’ve been trying desperately to write something over the past several weeks – anything, really – and I am unable to get out more than a few sentences before I delete them and start over. I’ve done it several dozen times and each time I get more and more stressed. Why can’t I get anything down? I would think to myself. Maybe my ability to write is only forced under pressure.

An optimistic writer's pessimistic journey towards finding the right words. Grad School, Moving and Marriage. In other news, I'm ENGAGED! My man proposed to me on Christmas morning in front of my family. I am so, so blessed. I cannot wait to be Mrs. Jillian Liota. We have been busy planning and such for the big day, which is June 11th.

An optimistic writer's pessimistic journey towards finding the right words. I took another bite, beginning to feel the weight in my stomach… the weight that comes when you know you have eaten way too much… the weight that makes you want to unbutton your pants, put on your largest pair of sweats, and curl up in bed watching pointless reality TV. But it matters now. I have great goals for myself on how tomorrow. And occasionally I can follow through on those goals. But only for a limited time. Only...I am ...

An optimistic writer's pessimistic journey towards finding the right words. I Don't Want To. I hate my body. I ate like a fatty yesterday, and the worst part wasn’t even that I ate so much food I felt sick. The worst part was that I felt sick the entire time I was eating. I hate my body. And what else happens when I’m eating so much that I feel sick and depressed and ugly? Every time I go on a diet, it lasts 3-4 weeks, and I’m right back to stuffing my face again. I hate my body….

An optimistic writer's pessimistic journey towards finding the right words. I try to stay positive about my future. But I can’t get away from the nagging feeling that I have missed the boat on a few things… mostly concerning my education. After browsing Facebook recently it has become incredibly noticeable that so many of the people I graduated with have not only gone on to graduate school, but have finished, and moved on to pursue their chosen careers.

An optimistic writer's pessimistic journey towards finding the right words. Stop Stop. Stop. Stop. I’m frustrated at the weird in-between place my life is right now. There are so many things I want to do, but I can’t do any of them until something else happens, something that is completely out of my control. I want to drop everything and follow the “around the world travelling itinerary” that I made for myself, experience other cultures, get odd jobs and teach English in Japan. But I want...I am a grad s...
