So it’s no secret that I’m very self-conscious. It sucks because I see so many people doing amazing things that I want to do as well. I’m just worried about not doing a great job. I used to be worried about what other people would say or do if I did things. But I don’t think I’ll ever reach the level where I’d get that kind of attention. Also, people do that just for the attention. It’s kind of obvious.

I would love to start making videos. I’d also love to start doing podcasts. I am more than okay putting in the work. I just don’t know what I’d want to talk about. I know I’d want to do reviews. I also know I’d want to talk books. I’d even enjoy reading excerpts from books. With the author’s permission of course. I have somewhat started getting equipment I think I’d need, but I haven’t really done anything with it.

What are your thoughts? What’s a passion you want to pursue that you’re a little nervous about?

My birthday is August 15th. For years, my birthday really didn’t mean anything to me. After I turned 18, it was barely acknowledged. I was actually convinced that since I was no longer a child that my birthdays really just didn’t matter anymore. Nobody really went out of their way to correct this assumption. I’m not saying I was treated badly. Don’t get me wrong. But yeah. I just started treating the day like any other day after a while.

Fast forward some years and somebody entered my life that corrected all of that. I’ve never had anybody go out of their way to make me feel as special as they made me feel on my birthday. Or any other day if I’m being honest.

I see a lot of people who celebrate their birthday the entire month. That’s not something I really did. Well until last year. Last year I created a reading challenge set for the entire month. I didn’t do that this year. I may make something up when I get back from Tennessee, but I’m not sure yet. I will try to do something special every day in honor of August.

What is your birth month? What do you do to celebrate? Do you have wish lists? How do you share them? I keep mine with the rest of my links and share the link tree at the end of every blog.

So I just got home yesterday from being at a convention. I had a lot of fun. This is my sixth time going in the last five years. I met some amazing people there. I even met somebody really special to me there. It’s ane experience that I am so thankful that I discovered. I can’t even explain how good the event has been for me.

However, at the end of the day, there’s something that I do have to acknowledge. I feel so drained and dismal when I come home. It doesn’t hit me as hard as it did the very first year. The first year was brutal. It took me about two weeks to fully recover. It still takes me up to a week, but I can get into the groove with the proper motivation.

This year, I’m attending three cons. I wanted to branch out a bit this year and try out other cons. I wasn’t going to attend the one that I normally attend. I’m thankful that I did attend. Don’t get me wrong. It just wasn’t planned. Hopefully, the other two won’t be as brutal as the first year for the one I normally attend was. We shall see. I’m nervous and excited.

I’d love to hear your convention stories. I’d also love to hear about your after con mood. If you suffer crud like I do, what do you do to battle it?
