Imagine a dolphin that has been taken into captivity, to be a performer, a show dolphin. It is required to learn a new trick, but every time it attempts it they pull it back and tell it that it isn't ready, until show day comes and they just throw it out there into the world expecting it to know what to do!
That is how I feel, my parents say "Adriel you need to learn to make your own decisions, Adriel you need to find a job, you aren't a little girl anymore, you need to grow up." But then when I try to make a decision for myself, they tell me no! Then I remind them of what they've told me, i'm growing up, i'm a young adult! Shouldn't I be able to make this decision myself? Then they just laugh at me! They tell me i'm not mature enough! And that I still live in their house and when i'm out I can make my own decisions! How am I to be ready to move out if they wont let me make my own decisions now? It is so confusing! I'm ready to grow up, to be responsible and get a job, and everything, and they tell me to, but when I try to they pull me back and don't let me. Anyways, I have vented so now i'll write something else!

         
             Anticipation lingered on Marthas body like an overpowering perfume, every eye in the room could see her excitement, at least the very few of her friends that had shown up. Only two of her six brides maids had come for the wedding, and one of them forgot her long red dress. Martha decided to walk down the aisle anyways, with or without her friends, who cares what they think of her fiance? She loved him, and that is all that matters, she doesn't need the approval of friends of family! At least that's what she told herself. She walked down the aisle, exchanged rings, and said her I do's just like she had planned. Now she would be happy forever! She repeated the words to herself,
"Till death do we part," over and over again, knowing that he was there for good. Finally someone would be there for her when something went wrong, be her everything, someone who thought the world of her. They both waved goodbye and got into their limo that would take them to the airport, they were going to spend their honeymoon in the Galapagos Islands. Her new husband Jared didn't mind that her family and friends didn't like him, he just wanted to be with Martha. He loved her very much, her bought her big diamonds, and fur coats, he got her whatever her heart desired. Although, Martha didn't understand how he made all of that money from his construction company, so she decided to ask.
"Darling... How do you have all of this money? It just doesn't make sense that you would make so much from your company."

1st Semester reflection! 

Wow, what a semester! Creative writing is by far the best class i've ever taken! I have never felt so safe to share my writing with anybody before until I joined this class, I finally feel like I fit in somewhere. I feel like I did alright this semester, I missed A LOT of blogging, I have written everyday, which was quite a success, but some of it was too personal to share, and other stuff I would write in a journal, that I currently cannot find :( All of my writing of two months just vanished, it's gone and I don't know where it could be :( But I have come so far in my writing, I love being able to write about whatever I want, and to be able to express myself through my writing. I've learned so much about writing, and poetry this semester, but the biggest thing i've learned is how to give feedback, and how to accept it, this has helped me so much with my writing. But the biggest thing i've learned is that not everything we write is going to be amazing, as a matter of fact, probably three fourths are stories or poems that I never want to read again! But it makes me appreciate the one fourth that is amazing so much more. I feel so accomplished when I write a good story, when everything just fits together so perfectly. Things that i'm doing better at, gee, i think i'm just doing better with my writing in general, i've learned so much from my classmates feedback, and how to better my writing, and things that i struggle with, I still have so so so much more to learn, but I think I have come a long way this semester. I never really pictured myself as a writer. As a matter of fact, before this class I hated, and absolutely despised poetry, and now it is my favorite kind of writing! I'm looking forward to this next semester so much, I am so determined to keep up with my writing and blog everyday, I want to better my writing so much more, and I'm so excited to read my poetry to random people! I am also surprisingly excited for script frenzy! I think it is going to be so fun! Mr. Anderson has changed my life forever, he introduced me to a whole new world of writing and helped me realize something that I love, something that I never thought I would like. And now I find myself writing everyday, and I love it! A day without writing is just too weird for me. But seriously I promise to do so much better on my blogging this semester, even though i'm not looking forward to writing 500 words everyday, but I will get used to that just like I did before, and soon it will be just like breathing, it will be natural and something that I cannot live without!
