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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 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…
