All I've heard my whole life was 'spelling and grammar.' Excellent paper, but- spelling and grammar. Wrote a good story but spelling and grammar. Application to grad school-work on spelling and grammar. Status on FB spelling and grammar- you're an English major. It's become the bear of my existence, the never-ending judgment, and the metaphor of my life.
With this constant judgment of my spelling and grammar. I've learned not only to adapt but also to never let this hold me back. I got a master's in creative writing, even if 'spelling and grammar!' However, I constantly battle my difficulties, judgment, and negativity.Spelling and grammar never seem to leave me; it comes out of nowhere sometimes, stinging me so hard I'm not even allergic to bees. However, it feels like it when someone tells me spelling and grammar. I want to scream that I am more than spelling and grammar; I want to look beyond my misspelled words or wrong use of commas.
Life has never been easy with spelling and grammar, and being hit with it again at 32 when you should have something figured out by now feels embarrassing and frustrating. I wonder when I will never be told 'spelling and grammar.'
Despite all that 'spelling and grammar' keeps throwing my way, it also keeps pushing me to prove everything, everyone, and 'spelling and grammar' wrong. So right now, I feel defeated by 'spelling and grammar,' but like always, it's the push I need to get me in the right direction.
