Finally Knowing What You Want
Emotional level: 8 Mental level: 9 TODAY I LEARNED: A mosquito has 47 teeth. (That’s horrifying) We take this life for granted. We can’t help it, we’re human. It’s in our nature to get comfortable with things and then forget that we should be thankful for everything we have. It’s not sad or happy,…

Blast from the Past
Wow, what a week it’s been! Between school, work, and old memories and faces popping up out of nowhere, I’m not really sure what to expect with this upcoming week. Hopefully it’s a little less confusing. Emotional state: moderate, but confused. As random as it is, I had a dream about an ex last night.…

I Can Breathe Again
Breathe in the good, breathe out the bad. I’ve learned a lot over the past few days. I’ve been blaming myself for something I couldn’t control. There’s something to be said about that. We don’t really have control over people’s lives, but we do have the power to change our own. Sure, we can influence…

Believing in Yourself
I wasn’t going to write about this today…but something changed my mind. There’s quite a lot to be said about believing in yourself and the capacity of your own being. The rule seems to be that if we can believe in something, we can do it. I have always believed that through our hardest trials,…

Thoughts in the Moment
People are rude. It’s as simple as that. When we are down and life is taking its sweet time improving, “people” have a knack for knocking us down when we need it the least. They can be unrelenting and forceful. So what choice do we have but to suck it up? It’s terrible, and no…

Starting Out Small
Recently I’ve been overwhelmed with the lot of life. Pressing concerns have been pushing on my patience and it feels like I’m going to drown in all the confusion, fear, and sadness. Luckily, I have my friends and family there to help me through it by offering advice as the days go on. It’s easy…

Are We Dreaming Big Enough?
As a result of recent events in my life, I’ve been viewing the world in all sorts of new and different ways. Things have kind of been turned upside down for me and I would be lying if I said I had an easy time adjusting to everything. Life is full of good and bad…
