Almost anyone can be a blogger.
There are tons of things to blog about. I’m a writer and blogger and last
summer, with nothing but time on my hands between job hunting, (and plenty of
wallowing in self-pity while routinely watching The Fresh-Prince of Bel-Air reruns) I grew frustrated and felt
drawn to do something creative. I could think of no better way than to build a
platform for my writing through blogging. It’s only been a year but I’ve
enjoyed sharing different content on Making
Waves and having the opportunity to minister and connect with people
through my stories. I’m abundantly grateful that God trusts me with this and
even more touched by those who read the work and have even reached out to me
about different pieces shared. As a writer, there’s nothing more touching than
someone reaching out to you about how your words have expressed how they’ve
felt. Honestly, I’ve been scared to share different things on this blog, but
the stories I’ve been hesitant to share are usually the ones with the most
feedback and appreciation. And for that, I’m thankful and encouraged to share even
more with you all. I’m excited about Making
Waves and prayerfully hope to see its tides rise even higher. If you’re
interested in blogging, give it a try. You likely have something unique to share
with the world and all you have to do is make the decision to do something
about that. Make some waves.
Ghosting: the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. I’ve been ghosted by every guy I’ve met within the past two years. About six to be exact. · The first guy pursued me and then got shady whenever I asked him about what he did for a living and where he lived. When he started dodging and avoiding questions, wouldn’t initiate dates, and slowly stopped keeping in touch with me altogether, eventually, all communication ceased. · The second guy was someone I met through a family member. He was super cool, very smart, handsome, and funny, but didn’t want to be in a relationship and acted like he didn’t want to be seen with me publicly. When we had plans to meet for an outing, he didn’t show up, and then texted me about a week later with an apology. We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
