Lucid dreaming is simply the ability to know that you are dreaming when you are dreaming. Once one realizes that they are in a dream, he/she can explore and even manipulate aspects of the dream. Usually the realization of dreaming comes with some sort of trigger. Maybe you’re dreaming that you’re on a paradise island, […]

Nothing is Good or Bad… It Just Is
One thing that I’m learning to do to better myself as a person is not to make my own perceptions of what is happening get in the way of what is happening. A lot of reflection that I have done (even on this blog) has to do with something that’s good or bad. I have […]

I’ve Never Been in Love Before
The journal prompt I had for today was to define what love means to me. It’s also the day after Valentine’s Day, so love is in the air. Truth is, I’ve never really felt love, or what I would think to be love. I would guess that love is something that’s a natural euphoria. It […]

A Letter to My Unborn Child
Dear child, If I had you in my arms today, I wouldn’t know where to begin. I’m not ready for a child. I’m still trying to figure my own life. I take pride in being independent. Being able to go where I want, do what I want, and not really worry about responsibility. The new […]

What Kobe Bryant Taught Me About Life
It still grieves me to believe that Kobe Bean Bryant is no longer with us. I just wrote about how he impacted my life yesterday. I didn’t think I’d be writing about him as a eulogy to his life, but here I am. Kobe taught me a lot, so I really don’t know where to […]

The Top 5 People I Admire
They say you are the top 5 people you hang around. Sometimes I don’t think that’s the case when it comes to individuals in the same area as me. I have a good group of friends, but we all change. I’m sure you’ll get more insight into who I am based on the people that […]

Confidence Doesn’t Come from Looks, it Comes from Within
If I were to write a letter to my teenage self, I would write, “Dear Andrew, Confidence has nothing to do with your outer appearance.” I was a fat kid growing up. I don’t think I can deny that. In high school, I reached about 195 pounds. I honestly didn’t like what I saw. With […]

What is God Like? A Very Hard Question to Answer
I know I have no qualifications of describing God. This blog post pretty much means nothing, because I have no knowledge of what God could be, or whether a God exists. I believe in a higher power, that much I know. With that being said, this is who God is to me. I just hope […]

The Routine I Use to Stay Grounded
There are a few things that I do that try to stay grounded while working through stress throughout the day. Work and other priorities are not my idea of relaxation, but there are more than just those 8 hours of the day for me to relax and have some me time. I’ll just give you […]

Water – My Greatest Fear is Something Essential to Life
I have a fear of drowning. I would really love to get rid of this fear because during the summer, the most fun thing to do is going to the beach, or hit the pool. My place is right by the beach, and yet, I don’t go. The fear could be irrational because I hardly […]

The Biggest Life Lesson I Learned in 2019
The greatest life lesson I learned last year is to not be scared to go for something you want. I guess there’s two lessons another one is to be authentic in everything you do. I’ll try to find a way to connect these things together because the two together will help me accomplish a lot […]

Sometimes My Greatest Strength is My Greatest Weakness
A thing that makes me unique is that I’m a deep thinker. I don’t like thinking on the surface level, or short-term thinking. The decisions I make should make a difference beyond just me and the situation at hand. I think that’s what makes me a good problem solver. When I come up with a […]
