Memorial Day Weekend 2023 and Discipline

Memorial Day weekend was good spending time with family and relatives. I went to a high school graduation party with my parents and my wife. Things are different being married and having to introduce my wife to these new people. Thankfully, my relatives were very excited to meet my wife, and it is nice not going to these family gatherings and whatnot still single. It is different being middle aged and seeing someone young achieve a milestone like graduating high school, and it is just so distant to me. I have not been in school for years now, and I would be a better student now than I was back then.

Somehow, I became much more disciplined about getting stuff done, including writing. The movies, anime, television shows, video games or something else can wait, which is not something that registered with me when I was younger. Not just that, but I am trying to create my own form of entertainment through my stories. It feels like a next logical step, in a sense, consuming different forms of media and entertainment and now wanting to create it.

Life experience, passion, motivation, learning and a want to create have made me want to become an author. It was not enough to just be a viewer or audience member but a creator.
