Floppy Disks
I use a turquoise-blue floppy disk as my cup holder. I don’t think that’s sad or weird. But what is sad and weird is that while writing this, I misspelled turquoise and disk. I consider myself a writer too—but only because I actually write every day.
One of my biggest insecurities is my spelling and grammar. That’s because of my upbringing; I wasn’t raised well by my parents, and I didn’t get the education I needed. I’ll refrain from using the word deserve because I’m not sure any of us truly deserves an education.
I’m going to find a class to help with these problems starting next month, so I can finally slay that skulking insecurity beast once and for all. (I couldn’t spell insecurity either.)So, stick with me and you can watch me grow as a writer and a human.
I don’t have a story or poem to post today—maybe later this evening. It’s not like you gooners read then anyway.
