I need some help. I'm trying to post something at least every couple of days on here but I'm having some trouble coming up with new and interesting things to write about. I could, of course, continue with my therapeutic and cathartic postings but I'm sure depression and anxiety get pretty old after a while. Sometimes I feel like I'm going around in circles with my emotions and feelings, as well as trying to cope with them, so the topic becomes somewhat repetitive. Here's where you come in. Is there anything you'd like to know more about? What topic(s) would you find most interesting? When I started this blog I named it Totally Random Thomas for a reason. I wanted to be able to write about anything and everything I found the least bit intriguing. But honestly sometimes my mind is a blank when I sit down to compose. I'd love to have some suggestions and ideas that might help me along. I will continue to write, as I have been, about my journey through dealing with mental health issues, but I'd really like to mix it up a little bit. I'm watching Julie & Julia, the movie that inspired me to blog in the first place, and admire how she had a specific purpose in her writing as she cooked her way through Julia Child's cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking. This blog has less of a specific purpose and tends to include more generalized ramblings. I guess I've shown that nothing is off limits, other than naming names in some circumstances, so any thoughts you might have are more than welcome! Hopefully this request and outreach encourages a lot of feedback. While I'm proud, humbled and honored that my blog has surpassed 8,000 hits and counting, comments have been few and far between and feedback rare. So here's your chance to get involved. Thanks in advance and please know that your opinion really does matter to me!
Topic Idea: Funny things your parents used to say or still do. My mom is known for the following: "Clean this room up before the health department comes and shuts you down!(my absolute favorite)" "You gonna run a comb through that hair?" "If you don't stop fighting they're gonna put me in the state hospital!" "Don't you have a friends house you can go play at?" "I'm as worthless as tits on a boar." "It's colder than a witches tit in here!" These are just a few of my mother's hilarious sayings. She was a single mom trying to make ends meet and raise her 3 children.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. I'll have to think of some funny parental stories from my youth. I'll work on that!
