i had the catchiest title, but i forgot

You ever have those moments of "eureka!" but then you realize that this eureka has been eureka-d before? I think I have those moments a lot. Much like the title suggests. It's not that I'm a forgetful person, I actually have a wonderful memory. Proof of that is my ability to have memorized the entire Hamilton musical, but still somehow need my calculator for the simplest math equations. It's like selective hearing, but with your brain.

Speaking of the brain, I read a book over it a while ago and found it quite interesting. It explains my whole selective hearing thing. The book debunked a lot of myths about the way human beings use their brains and why we use them that way. Highly recommend it (Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain). (not sponsored)

Back to my eureka moment, or rather my lack of one, I have the title I was thinking of on the tip of my tongue. I was sitting in my free period thinking about things to do while doing none of them simultaneously (master procrastination, I know), and the title came to my brain. It was one of those "OMG I should totally write this down so I don't forget it later moments." And past me was right, I did forget it. But that doesn't matter because truly I think the current title is much more interesting than whatever she came up with back then.

This moments of mine however lead me to create some of my best ideas. This is how businesses start, enterprizes form. You need to be creative and willing to face risks. I don't know where I would be today (business wise) had I not taken the risk of starting FIKA, AG, or Beauty Within You.

While on the subject of my blog, which when am I not. I try to post about my art everywhere. On my personal and business accounts I am constantly uploading stories practically bombarding people with links to go read my latest part. This has shown effective as I have seen my numbers (it was in the middle of this sentence where I remembered the title I thought of) go up since I began doing that. But I was talking to a friend of mine about the blog, and she turned to me and said, "What year is this, 2014?" I do admit, having a blog in 2023 as a 15-year-old is a little peculiar, but so is a 15-year-old with a business to her name, so why not just maintain the trend.

I constantly have those moments of, "what even is my life?" Like not in a bad way, often times jokingly after something so out of the blue has happened that I can't help but ponder. This is like those moments in TV shows where an old character will appear out of nowhere after having been gone. You gasp (or at least I do, quite loudly my family will add) and go "WHAT IS THIS?" That's how I would best describe those moments. I hope all of you have those moments at least once a day, because I think without it, life becomes quite boring.

To wrap this up: I remembered the title I was thinking of, I read a really interesting book, my life is quite peculiar at moments and I think it's important to step back and take that all in from time to time, and you can't get anywhere in life without a little creativity; that's just a fact.
