Their versus there is such a simple grammatical lesson. These simple pieces of standard English are things that I struggle dramatically with. To give you a bit of background, I was home and private schooled through 5th grade. When I entered public school in 6th grade it was motivated by a large urge to play public school sports and small urge to learn traditional education. My english teacher in 6th grade was a family friend and was one the sweetest ladies in town, even with her as my instructor I hated grammar. I didn't understand the point and my very hands on brain had a hard time processing sentence structure and the like. Don't get me wrong, I love reading, literature and all things related to language. I'm currently reading all 850 pages of Lonesome Dove, I've read a vast majority of the american classics and many reads like the Giver have been read cover to cover dozens of times. Yet my mind reverts back to my 6th grade self and conforms to the same logic, if it sounds good what's the problem?
I say this in the hopes that all of you, whether it be few or many will get a better look into who I am and if you're so generous excuse and CORRECT my grammatical mistakes in all of my posts. Whoever reads this and can highlight a grammatical error in one of my instagram posts will be sent a fictional book of their choosing. Please tag me and outline the grammatical post, first one received wins! Happy Thursday!

My recent posts will reveal a state of confusion and lack of a clear path. Through yesterdays Instagram post I received an outpouring of encouragement from a wide array of people. I'm so thankful that others would take the time to aid me when I felt lost. I still don't have a 100% idea of what I want to do with this Instagram account and page. But I know that I want this account to inspire people. Through imagery, sharing of knowledge and a general sense of communal growth we will progress. I want this account to be less about me and more about we. I hope that others will find me 100% open, honest and revealing. My lack of direction is due to an unexplained desire to conform, when nothing else seems more unnatural to me. I can't conform, hopefully you will feel the same and fall in line in a non conformist conforming :)
To begin at a place where the path isn't clear. This morning one of my favorite musical artist came on Pandora. Lord Huron, if you haven't heard, is incredible. Take the time to listen to his lyrics. If you aren't inspired at least a little bit then comment here and I will give you another song to listen to. I won't stop until you're inspired. The Night We Met Lord Huron I am not the only traveler Who has not repaid his debt I've been searching for a trail to follow again Take me back to the night we met And then I can tell myself What the hell I'm supposed to do And then I can tell myself Not to ride along with you I had all and then most of you Some and now none of you Take me back to the night we met I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Take me back to the night we met When the night was full of terrors And your eyes were filled with tears When you had not touched me yet Take me back to the night we met I had all and then most of you Some and now none of you Take me back to the night we met I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Take me back to the night we met Songwriter: Ben Schneider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtlgYxa6BMU |
