We discussed what words offended us and the type of impact they can have. I learned that sometimes, words can be used in a certain context that is hurtful. For me personally, I don't get offended easily, and there isn't any specific words that I find all that harmful. Mostly because I don't really take those sort of things to heart. I thought hearing about how others felt was pretty informative though. Monday was a pretty good day overall.

Prompt: How do you find time to enjoy your day, even when you have a lot going on? Write about at least three specific things you do to enjoy small moments throughout your day. I find it hard to find time to enjoy my day, but I try to at least multitask. For instance, I recently have tried listening to music while doing things to make stuff somewhat more enjoyable. I also try to sit down and have dinner with my parents. Trying to keep that as a constant has been difficult, but it's proven to be worth it. Keeping that connection with my family is important to me, despite anything I've got going on. Another thing I do is to sometimes just pause and take a breath. This helps to get me back on track when there's a lot going on. I'm still figuring out more effective ways to find time, especially for things out of my control.

Prompt: Write about a conversation that changed you. Dec 2

A conversation that changed me was probably talking to my doctor the day my eye was taken. It was a couple days before Christmas when I was told that my cancer had come back, and my parents had to make the decision of removing or keeping my eye. To keep it meant to have the risk of my cancer escaping the eye, and into my brain, or going into other parts of my body. This was risky, and all to keep an eye that at that point didn't work anymore. Before every treatment, my doctor would always encourage me to ask questions. That's how I knew exactly how my treatments worked and such. But this time, I remember I asked, "Are you going to take my eye out?" His response is something I'll never forget, he said "No, I'm going to take out your cancer, what's hurting you." I think for a Nine year old me, that's exactly what I needed to hear, because I walked right into the operation room after that, and chose my anesthesia flavor. I don't remember muc...

Prompt: Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.  Something that I've outgrown but will probably still miss is Halloween. More specifically trick or treating. It's probably the best holiday for kids for two reasons: one, you get to dress up as something you like and two you get FREE candy. You basically never get anything for free, but on Halloween kids get candy just for knocking on peoples doors. While you can dispute that you've got to walk for that candy, that's basically the best part. What's better than running around AT NIGHT with your friends? When you're a child, that type of freedom is crazy and I'd like to experience that for the first time again.
