Struggles (on how to spend time) and my Motivations (to write blog posts)

So sometimes I struggle to know what to do. Or, I guess, what I want to do. I have free time right now, and I have tons of things that I theoretically want to do, but I just don't want to right now, I guess? I feel like I have some sort of mental block where because I put them on a to-do list, they suddenly become burdens even though they are genuinely things that I want to do. It's weird. So I'm here writing things instead. Hopefully this will give me a motivation-start and I'll have more energy/desire to do various other things.

I have a lot of thoughts, and I enjoy sharing them. It makes me want to write blog posts. This reminds me of a blog post that I started writing but didn't finish due to lack of time in the moment, so I'll just copy paste it here:

It's done! Finally finished with this semester. Spent a good chunk of Monday working on Finals due that night and Tuesday doing the same. Spent legit a majority of Monday packing and cleaning. And today we are driving home:) According to Google Maps that I pulled out two seconds ago, we're only 12 minutes away from Fallon.

So I had this thought the other day (with this post and last post being evidence: It appears I've been having a lot of thoughts recently) about why I write blog posts. Why I do it, why I enjoy it etc. I've definitely talked about this subject over the course of many years here on this blog, and if I remember correctly my response involved around things such as: Enjoying condensing and constructing my thoughts in a written format, having it as a creative outlet, using it as a method of journaling, and probably some other reasons I'm missing. 

I think all of those definitely still stand, but I had an additional one that I wanted to add (I also just thought of another one which I now will also write about).

Another reason I like writing on my blog because it makes me feel connected with my family. Specifically my brothers Andrew and Eric.

I love how we all have blogs, and in the past I believe I've referenced how I really enjoy it when our blog posts respond to each other in a way. 

[End of writings, now I'm adding onto it]

I just enjoy that even though I don't call them the most (something I wish and plan to remedy during this new year) we can still be connected through these posts. Obviously posts differ largely in a lot of different ways, but every time a small part of it is like a little email to my brothers and others. And it's great. 

It's just another wonderful thing that comes out of this wonderful little blog of mine which I've become quite fond of over the years.

I'm having other thoughts I want to write, but they would be best written in a separate post that I'm currently planning on posting on January 1st (edit: ¿Maybe January 7th?). Unsure if I'll post another post before then, so I guess: See you next year! Merry Christmas:) I love you all.
