Dual Lives

Heyo,

So as you all know, I am a nursing student, and am also a very creative person. 

I know, you all know that people are more than one label (popular and shy, athletic and brilliant). As a kid I knew that too, but I didn't always act like it. I thought if I wasn't smart right now, I never would be. And that's not true. Time passed, parents pushed, I kept reading, grew-up and realized my mistake.

And now I have gone to the other extreme. I think that to be smart, I can't be creative. Or I don't have time for it. I have started seeing a world of limited resources. This is not good.

The problem is how they compete. I can't do everything, but I hate acting like my time is somehow less limited or valuable than say, everyone else on this earth. It is driving me crazy to always be like, "Can't. I have school." Or "No, there is a test next week."

So last night, being all hyper from clinicals, nap, then making fun CP, I tweeted a question to one of my favorite authors:



You could say I knew the answer, but I still wanted to be told. And being told my someone older and more credible; and that was smart and creative? Well that was just awesome.

No. I am not a fan girl. I simply respect the skills it takes to get on the New York Times Best Seller List.

Back to the point I will make time for writing. I am allowed to have fun and work hard. I need to. It's all good.
