I

A Chapter by Yulissa

I don't really know what to write about, I think I have writer's block, but it's okay because I like writing about nothing when it has to do with something. The lighting in this room is terrible. Terrible, because I am sitting next to the only window that is providing any light since no one in this house will let me turn on the light unless its pitch black. Its not pitch black just yet, and no one is my dad. So basically my dad won't let us turn on the light because now we have solar and now he cares about the environment. I care a lot about the environment. Its been a few months since I have been taking shorter showers to save water. Where I live, that's strongly encouraged, shorter showers and little things that can eventually add up to much more. I learned in the fifth grade that the average individual wastes about ten to twenty gallons of water per shower. That is way too much water, but it also depends on the shower head. The ones with smaller holes will obviously not waste as much water. Someone just set off a firework. Its August.

I don't understand people sometimes.

I need to go thrifting soon. I want to get more blue this year. Blue blouses and tops and anything blue. I love turquoise and I love green. Those both have some blue in them and I want that. But since its going to be fall maybe I need more mustard yellows, autumn red, and grey and black and ivory white, and those really beautiful deep or pale purples. Its not going to be spring but at least I could recycle things from each.
