glimmers from a tired girl
My alarm is going off, again. I have been mindlessly pressing the snooze button for thirty? Forty-five? minutes now. Finally, I rub my eyes and pick up my phone, opening the alarm app and turning off the row of alarms in increments of five minutes. It was a good idea the night before.

The 27 Club
The 27 Club: Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Robert Johnson. This is just to name a few.

Bravery is a muscle
Los Angeles-USA, 2018. As I watched Reshma Saujani's TED talk about bravery x perfection, her words and insights had a valuable impact on me. If I could be braver, my chances of achieving what I wanted would be higher. That inspired change.

Engulfing Light
I have not been very successful in quieting my mind this evening. I find that as time goes by, I find myself in deeper contemplation, in regards to the purpose of my life. I can say with certainty, that thus far, I have had a life, that with all things considered, has been a well lived one.

An Open Letter to The Girl I Wished Had Still Shown Up.
I do not know if you will ever read this. I do not know if you have already forgotten about me. I hope you do find this somehow and read this knowing that you weren't just some other girl off a dating app to me. And that not every girl is the same and I truly felt so much hope in the potential of getting to know you, more hope than I had felt in a very long time even with meeting so many others along the way.

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
