Storytelling!

I'm doing something out my school called MOTH.

And no, it's not a science program where I study bugs, though that would be cool.

It's a storytelling program. And don't ask me why it's called MOTH, because I still don't know.

It's really cool, but I always get kind of nervous before the actual performance, when we have to go up on the stage and tell a story in front of a bunch of people. It's hard.

But it is definitely worth it. I also get to help the other MOTH participants prepare their stories, and it's really cool to hear how different they all are. Some funny, some sad, some optimistic. It's like where trying to cover all of the emotions that exist in one night.

And of course we aren't covering ALL OF THEM, but still, there's a lot of depth. And depth is something I really like. As I may have mentioned before on this blog, I think everyone has some depth in them. And MOTH is one of the places where all that depth comes out.

Out of It

Today, I was out of it.

Out of it is a really weird expression that I like to use. Because it's not clear what it actually means. Out of it? Out of what exactly? Out of life? I guess, in a way.

I usually use "out of it" to describe days when I feel like I'm not in reality, that I'm just in a dream, and I'm kind of stumbling through it. It sometimes just happens, when I feel really tired or bored, or both.

There are just some days like that when life seems like nothing.

But after those times, there's often some kind of change. And life feels like something again.
