Welcome back friends and hello to any new readers! In this blog assignment I will be writing a letter to my author self ‘Kierra’. The idea for this amazing letter came from a reading I will be linking down below. This letter inspired me more than I thought it would and I hope it inspires everybody else who decides to read it.
A Fable for the Living Dear Kierra, You are so much more than what you may think. You hold so much potential in you and you just haven’t found the right way to show it. You’ve heard the saying “your mind is a cupboard and you stock the shelves”, be creative, be free and see where it all leads you. Watch how fast you love who you become. Stop waiting for everything to come to you and start making things happen on your own love. Right now the relationship between me and you feel like we both were born on the same day minutes apart but only one of us lived our lives to our fullest potential while the other barely got to see the sunlight. You hold so much potential in you that you don’t know how to let out properly. You are an exquisite, smart and talented person, make that mean something! Take advantage of what you know you can achieve and be the unyielding writer you know deep down you can become. Your biggest problem is that you stock your shelves with the wrong things. You need to stop focusing on issues that won’t help you in the long run and focus on important factors that will. Never forget that you are the creator of your own destiny, so if you choose to stock your shelves with expired goods you’ll become no better than that, but if you stock it with unripe goods waiting to grow and ripen that is what you are destined for too! Here’s a plan so that we can make sure you get to see the sunlight: Step 1: Take one hour everyday to write.
Step 2: Make all assignment due dates !
Step 3: Have fun enjoy being a writer.
Sincerely, Alexus Mark.

Hello readers. Welcome to the first blog on my site for my English 100 Composition class. This blog post will be based off of 32 questions. The questions provided below originated from a french writer Marcel Proust. Marcel Proust argued that one's true personality was shown by their answers on questionnaires so here we are! I hope you enjoy reading my responses as much as I liked responding to the questions.
The Proust Questionnaire _1.__What is your idea of perfect happiness? My idea of perfect happiness is waking up with a purpose. someone who is smiling all the time knowing that today will be a good day. You wouldn’t have anything to stress about and you would just be seen as a positive and careless human. __2.__What is your greatest fear? My greatest fear is my immediate family dying. I have had this happen to me recently and the thought of having to go back through that pain and darkness is scary. __3.__What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? I am spoiled rotten so when i don’t get my way its equivalent as the world ending. I literally cannot be told no without catching an attitude and sometimes it bothers me because i know i have to grow up. __4.__What is the trait you most deplore in others? The biggest one has to be ignorance. People can be so unknowingly rude and unkind to others and it's sad to see. I have been around a lot of ignorant humans in my life, and all i have to say is we got to do better. __5.__Which living person do you most admire? I admire my mom the most. She handles a lot of situations I would've folded on. Like for instance, she took in another child (my cousin) after my aunt recently passed away she did this while already sheltering my brother and I. My mom makes everything she does look so easy. She is the strongest woman i know. __6.__What is your greatest extravagance? It has to be food. I love eating all types of food even though my boyfriend still considers me a “picky eater”. I come from a Caribbean family so food is how we show our culture. __7.__What is your current state of mind? My current state of mind is blank. Its focused on me wondering how to answer this question. __8.__What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I’m a christian but in my opinion it has to be abstinence. I mean come on we’re all human if you practice it though great for you. __9.__On what occasion do you lie? I’ll only lie if i am calling out of work ‘sick’. I use this excuse so many times it just never gets old. __10.__What do you most dislike about your appearance? skip. __11.__Which living person do you most despise? DONALD TRUMP. I don't know how he got elected president. Who voted for him? Couldn't be me. __12.__What is the quality you most like in a man? I adore honesty, tell me exactly how you feel. I think that a relationship without honesty is pointless so if a man can't be straight up with me then why are we in this predicament? __13.__What is the quality you most like in a woman? A kind heart. A woman who is kind is pretty. You can be the prettiest girl ever but if your attitude is a piece of crap then you become an ugly person and who like an ugly person? __14.__Which words or phrases do you most overuse? “Literally”, “honestly” and “couldn't be me”. “Couldn't be me” has to be my favorite phrase though because a lot of people do stupid things and it just couldn't be me in that situation. __15.__What or who is the greatest love of your life? My little cousin Brad. I consider that boy my own son because the love I have for him is totally something different than i've ever experienced. __16.__When and where were you happiest? I don't know. __17.__Which talent would you most like to have? I wish i could sing. I pretend like I don't know if I can't sing but trust me i know i'm not fooling anybody. __18.__If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would like to be more happy. I always have an attitude that ruins my day. I would love it if i knew how to keep that under control and not be such a brat. __19.__What do you consider your greatest achievement? Graduating high school i honestly don't know how I did it but I did it. __20.__If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? I would like to come back as a Kardashian baby. My life would be SET. Just think about it, what actual problems do the Kardashians deal with ?? Then on top of everything they’re loaded with money so if I didn’t want to work I wouldn’t have too. That’s living the dream alright. __21.__Where would you most like to live? I would love to live in Florida where the winters are still warm. The only thing stopping me is the fact that I barely have any family down there. __22.__What is your most treasured possession? MY PHONE!!!! My entire life is on my phone if i was to lose this i would cry. __23.__What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? My senior year of high school. That's when my life changed completely to the point where i fell into a deep depression that i'm not all the way out of yet. __24.__What is your favorite occupation? A pediatric surgeon. Idk if i like it because of Alex from Grey's Anatomy or if i'm really interested in that type of surgery by own will. __25.__What is your most marked characteristic? This is a question that others would have to answer for me. __26.__What do you most value in your friends? I mostly value how they can always tell me the truth and not judge me. My best friend is really my diary i can tell her anything and she knows when to listen and when to give feedback and i love her for that. I wouldnt trade her for anybody else in the universe. __27.__Who are your favorite writers? Shonda Rhimes (Greys Anatomy), Jennifer Lee (Frozen), E.L. James (50 Shades of Grey) & Niall Leonard (50 Shades Darker) they were all perfectly scripted 10/10. __28.__Who is your hero of fiction? My hero of fiction has to be the ‘Blue’ dinosaur in Jurassic world. He never fully switched up on his day ones and I like that. __29.__Which historical figure do you most identify with? I honestly do not know. __30.__Who are your heroes in real life? My mom of course and also my kindergarten teacher Mrs. Miller who always let me read my Junie b. Jones books to her during lunchtime. __31.__What are your favorite names? Ariele, Chase, Taylor, and Paige. __32.__What is it that you most dislike? People who are overly happy. I cannot stand someone who never once gets upset or show any other emotions other than happiness. __33.__What is your greatest regret? Not obtaining the grade i know i could have achieved in high school. I could've done way better than what i've done. __34.__How would you like to die? I would like to die unknowingly and most likely in my sleep. If i know i'm going to die that'll make me scared to actually die and sad. __35.__What is your motto? It is what it is. Everything happens for some reason i might not know the reason but that's okay. |
