Seeing as I'm a full-time student, part-time employee and full-time girl... I'm always stressed. Alright, maybe not always but probably a solid 73% of the time. Which is .73 which rounds up to .1, AKA 100%. So technically, mathematically speaking, I'm always stressed.
But ah! I've come up with a recent revelation. Blogging relieves some stress. Writing down shit about how I feel about some quote actually serves some purpose other than procrastinating studying or doing something other than going on twitter (...follow me @ddddelaney-- nice plug, right?). So I figured today I'd find a quote about stress. And I stumbled upon this gem by Garson Kanin, an old Hollywood actor and director.
"There are thousands of causes for stress, and one antidote to stress is self-expression. That's what happens to me every day. My thoughts get off my chest, down my sleeves and onto my pad."
I used to go to therapy, which was amazing. I loved therapy, but that shit is expensive! I tried writing songs once (third grade, imagine how deep those badboys were), which I guess is some sort of self-expression...but to be frank, they were wack and I did it for reasons other than to solve deep-seeded issues in my soul. But this blogging thing kind of does it for me. The idea is to do a quote of the day therefore one post per day; but lately the stress levels are up, hormones are a-ragin', and a lot of changes are going on in my life, which makes me want to blog more.
Kanin's quote rings true to me. I like the idea of thoughs getting off my chest, down my arms and onto this blog. It really is an every day thing. Sure, some days the stress buildup is stronger than others but overall, I feel mentally exhausted on a regular basis. So thanks, blogger.com for letting me let out some emotional baggage onto your site without filtering or censoring me. It's much appreciated :)
