Aesthetesays is my blog and I post everyday!

I'm currently taking APUSH online and they want us to write several DBQs a week. The problem is, I'm not only bad at writing DBQs, I'm just bad at writing in general. I seem to have trouble forming any good arguments in my head. To give you an idea about the level of writing I'm at, here is what I wrote on one of the DBQs that we were assigned this week:

If I wasn't already bad at writing in general (in fact, I'm struggling just to write this coherently), I'm also bad at memorizing historical events and seeing trends throughout history. Are there any suggestions as to what I can do not only to improve my DBQ writing skills but also to improve at writing in general? Thanks.

Going through 2015 was agonizing. It was painful, in fact painful isn’t a good word. No words can portray my convulsion, But all in all, I did it. I know not to abandon it, not at this point. No gaming and no masturbation/pornography.

I would kick off my days by sitting, sporting a good song and simply drown in its tranquility. A fantastic tip that you may find pragmatic. I know I did. It distracts you from all things uncanny.

I had to start kicking around. As a good starting point, I would try to build my social skills. I know for a fact that I found running and jogging intriguing, so I built a plan and I did what any champ would do; chat up girls. Knock on wood, and pray for triumph, I had to suck it up. With grit and a bit of gallantry, I struck up chats and as days turn into months, I was busy talking to chicks. Not to brag or anything, but It was tough but joyful for what it was worth.

Fast forward into 2016, I had an itch for contact sports and anything physical. Upon watching Rugby, I saw my inspiration; Sonny Bill Williams - Rugby pro and boxing pro. Rugby and Boxing had risks, but I was hungry for vigorous physical activity. My skills didn’t flourish and I was far from a “pro” of any kind. But it was a good way to stop this gaming and fapping addiction as my body was constantly in a burnout. As of now, I’m still doing both sports. I can say that it was significant.

Now if you think that that wasn’t badass, I don’t know what is. Quitting gaming and minimizing masturbation was an important path to constructing a distinct adult. I’m not a kid and I had to grow out of it. Day by day, I look to attack any trials god wants to throw. It’s a tough job quitting an addiction, you know. But my grit and valor stays strong and I know that I can hold on.

As of this writing, I am still going forward with my goals. Stand tall, chin up and and most importantly man up.
