7/8/2025: Connection and Disconnection

-

 Huzzah!

    The big year of 2025 is over halfway done! This year has been packed with many things, all going very, very fast! We are officially halfway through the summer months, the time when fireworks can be heard all night, the smell of grills, and the dances of fireflies illuminate the night. Summer has always been extremely hard for me, since I often don't see my school friends, this can often make me feel lonely, I can this feeling "Summer Fever". Summer Fever often entails negative thoughts, an inevitable "I just can't do it and I don't know why" feeling, and just not wanting to go outside. Overall, making just be a hermit. As I previously mentioned, Summer Fever can make me feel pretty lonely. However, I have a strategy that allows me to monitor Summer Fever. 

    I call it "Connection Mode" and "Disconnection Mode". Connection Mode is when I "connect" with others, this can be talking to a friend over phone, hanging out with a friend. Or just simply text them. Connection Mode is extremely important because it keeps me out of Summer Fever, my Mom also likes to call this "My Cup being filled". Disconnection Mode is also important, as I mentioned in an earlier blog post, I often need time by myself after socializing. Disconnection Mode is basically just that, but if I spend to long in Disconnection Mode it could lead me to have Summer Fever. It is very hard for me to get out of Disconnection Mode, because of this I often go into Summer Fever. I am trying my best to work on breaking out of it. Who knows? In the future, Summer Fever may no longer be a thing?

6/16/2025: Father's Day Blog

-
 Huzzah! Happy Late Father's Day! Before I get to the main topic of this blog, I'd first like to apologize about my absence from posting, I'm still trying to get used to having to write something every couple of days, and it has been a struggle to think of stuff to write about recently. So again, I'd like to apologize for my disappearance as of late.  Now for the true meat and potatoes of this blog. This Sunday was Father's Day, a day where we are able to celebrate our great dads in our life, and today I decided to focus this blog on the greatest father of them all, my own dad. In today's blog I will talk about three great reasons why I love my dad and appreciate what he does (There are many more reasons but I decided to choose the top three for time reasons). My first reason I love my dad is because he is extremely supportive of my interests and of everything I do. My dad has always been my number one fan and has been to every award ceremony, contest, and just ...

5/30/25: Introduction

  Huzzah! It is official, In My Own Spectrum is off the ground and ready for the world to see. To be honest, I wanted to get this done earlier than when I’m writing this (you can blame procrastination for that). But I am proud of myself for actually getting up and doing this. For those who know me, you may have been in shock when you heard I was writing a blog, but it should surprise you that I am in shock too that I’m writing this. If you asked me 6 months ago that I would be kickstarting a blog, I would’ve probably laughed or been in utter confusion that I of all people would do such a thing. In my very first post I want to answer questions about In My Own Spectrum , and I will explain it with the 5 W’s. Who, What, When, Where, and Why. Who is In My Own Spectrum ? Well it’s me, Stone. Yes, that is my actual name, I’m not going under one of those names that some bloggers use to keep themselves hidden to be mysterious and cool. If I did that, it would defeat the purpose of my blog...

6/2/2025: Socialization

  Huzzah! It’s a cool June night, I crack open a Dr. Pepper (my favorite) and open the window letting a cool breeze in. I type on my computer after having two grueling long days. Yesterday I had my “I’m done”  party. You should know, I hailed from a smaller Class of 2025, and like many classmates, I too shared my celebration night with a friend. It was two grads for the price of one party!  Everybody came, ate tons of great food, and I saw one of my best friends get a Mustang as his graduation gift. I was so happy to see that his smile never left his face that entire night. After we lit off fireworks and enjoyed a nice bonfire, I said my goodbyes as I went to hangout with a different group of friends (We didn’t go to bed until 4am).  Fun night, right? Well, for someone like me, social gatherings, shin-digs, and get-togethers can be a very stressful and hard time. I naturally get irritated, annoyed, stressed, and tired when I have to talk to an excessive amount of...
