My name is Marlyn and for some odd reason, I decided to make this blog, entitled "Happy Little Hawk." Well, it's not an odd reason, but Marlyn is a really odd name. It's NOT pronounced like any of the following: Marilyn, Marlene, Merlin, Maryland, Maura-Lynn, etc. MAR, like "car", and LYNN, like the name.
Why is my name so damn important? If you try to look up the meaning of Marlyn on the internet, it just says it's a variant on "Marilyn" or "Marlene." This website says it means "bitter lake" (what makes a lake bitter?), but I know Mary is known for being a "sea of bitterness". This one says it means "rebel lake" (scroll down to number 1995). But this website says it's Hebrew for "little hawk or falcon," regardless of sex. I always liked that meaning.
Not to get all Debbie Downer, but I've had my mental health issues. Recently, they've just become worse, so I decided to go to my school's counseling center and got placed with the best Tinkerbell lookalike ever. Every Tuesday, I see her, we talk, I cry, but leave feeling pretty good and optimistic.
Today, we were talking about healthy activities to do, like journaling, or skateboarding. (Because I bought a $10 skateboard at Wal-Mart last night). My counselor said she took up the violin and got really good at it. She said that journaling or playing the violin might not be for me, but I'll find something.
Because I love lists, I decided to make a list of all the stuff I've wanted to do. I don't want to call it a "bucket list" because, to be quite honest, unless Morgan Freeman is going to narrate my life and do all the fun stuff on my "bucket list" with me, then I'm not calling it a "bucket list." Think of it more as a to-do list. I'll post the to-do list at some point or another, and basically this blog is just me doing things I think will make me happy. I might physically injure myself in the process, which is ALWAYS hilarious.
It's midnight & I'm exhausted & I might regret starting a blog in the morning, BUT I DON'T CARRRRE.
Till then,
Mar
Yayyy! You're blogging!!! Wuv you!!! I definitely know what they mean by some form of activities to do. Mine changes all the time. Usually it's watching tv, which isn't really an activity but I'm not running around crazy or freaking out. I'm just watching some Disney Channel or some Jersey Shore. Hellz yeah. Also, I cry like it's my job, especially at those sessions.
