One more month left and 2024 will come to an end. Time is flying so fast and life has been so eventful. I am grateful that I get to experience life as much as I have and I look forward to making the most of it even more in 2025.
The past month had me focusing on my creative pursuits. I have been working on the possibility of creating a podcast. That and possibly a video channel for myself as a creative outlet. I have come up with a lot of ideas for them. Right now it’s a matter of deciding which ones I can make happen between a day job and my other creative ventures.
One thing that excites me the most is writing. I have so many stories in my head. Characters I want to bring to life and stories I want to share. I hope to make even more time for them in the coming month. So far I have been getting my ducks in a row as far as writing is concerned. But I need to take it more seriously and make more time for it. This is easier said than done considering how much I’ve been trying to do on the side.
The highlight of my past month? Getting tickets to see Seventeen in January. I mentioned becoming a fan on this blog. It is exciting to know that I will be seeing them in a couple of months live in concert! I am looking forward to it! I am so happy that this group has been achieving so many good things left and right (pun intended). I'm excited that I get to see this award-winning group with people I love very soon. I know it’s going to be a memorable night for me.
Seventeen and their music has been such an inspiration for me creatively these days. Their music has fueled many of my writing ideas. It makes me face emotions that I hesitate to express on the page. I find that I visualize scenes and write emotions better when I listen to their songs. I look forward to more inspiration when I see them in concert.
Speaking of Seventeen, I have fallen in love completely with their new Japanese song. It's called Shohikigen. It touches my heart in a way that I find hard to explain. Songs like this move me in ways that I never would have thought of in my writing. I am grateful for how their music helps with my creative process. They inspire me to share stories that touch others in the same way that their music has touched me.
I don’t understand why Japanese language songs like Shohikigen hit me harder. I felt the same with BTS’ Let Go. These songs linger in my mind, playing over and over like a soundtrack to my thoughts and emotions.
Lately, my thoughts and feelings have been coming on strong. I think that’s why another thing about November has hit me harder than I expected: my dreams.
I had an entire week of vivid dreams. They were all about one particular phase or situation in my life that has not happened (but I would like for it to). They all felt so real and lingered in my mind so much after I woke up that I was able to write the details down in my journal.
The dreams felt so real and so good. In some moments, I felt that it was the reality and that this waking moment was the real dream. Is that weird? Has anyone else ever felt that way?
To me, those dreams made me feel fulfilled. They made me feel loved and happy. I looked into what the signs and symbols of my dreams could mean. I found that most of them meant I was aligning myself toward a path that was true for me.
That gave me a sense of comfort and assurance. Like I was being told that whatever I’m doing right now, I am on the right path toward what is right for me.
My dreams feel like reassurance given the way my life is going these days. There have been so many events hat keep reminding me that things are constantly changing in my life.
At this point, anything can happen. In the beginning, I used to worry about that. I used to dwell on the idea that constant was the safer option. But these days, I have been thinking that the uncertainty can be daunting, but it can be exciting too.
Life is pushing me in a direction that I never considered unless these changes happened. The music that inspires me, creative passions that fuel me, and the dreams that assure me are part of that. All of them along with recent events in my life are significant to me. Ultimately, this will lead me to where I have always wanted to be. It may not look like it now, but I know that life is taking me to the best version of my life that I can have. The kind of person that I have always dreamed of becoming. I am going to follow where it leads and see where it takes me.
