My writing has become a bit stagnant and stale. I’m out of practice, and it shows. So here I am the computer after returning from a night at the movies with a friend, hoping something will come to me.

But I see a heck of a lot more empty white space than black text on my screen right now. And it frustrates me.

So I’ve decided to write whatever pops into my mind and the things I feel the need to say.

------

I’m looking forward to Friday because it’s the day after Halloween. And do you know what that means? Major candy sale!

-----

There are too many secrets in this world and too many people who trust me with theirs. In the past two weeks alone, I can’t count how many conversations have started off with, "You can’t tell anyone else this . . ." And before the sentence is even completed, I already know I’ve gotten stuck in the crosshairs of something potentially harmful.

I feel like Pandora’s box, but no key will open up its secrets. Trust is something I don’t take lightly. That of mine in others and those who place it in me.

------

Some things are worth fighting for. But I’m not sure this is one of them. Only time will tell.

-------

The more I get to know people, the more their true colors are revealed. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's not.
