A Page Of My Diary
How I felt in this moment- You know that feeling when your sad but you don't really know why, and you don't tell anyone because "your just hormonal" or "overdramatic" " attention seeking". That feeling when your numb just numb. That feeling when you wanna be different, you wanna be you, so you find something that makes you "different" but your just "copying others", "trying to act cool?". That feeling when your sadness is like a little secret you have with yourself like a crush. That feeling when your guilty for feeling this way. That feeling after you've broken down and fallen asleep and wake up feeling "dumb". That feeling that your just upset now and you'll be "fine" later. That feeling when you listen to all your favorite sad songs "about you". That feeling when you finally open up to someone only to feel guilty and embarrassed for telling your sad secret. Well I know this feeling all to well and ill probably realize I have wasted my time writing this because "ill be fine later".

Slow Down
I spent more than a year gunning it at full speed in the wrong direction. A life of excess that just morphed into something uncontrollable. By the time I stopped the damage, it had been done: I gained so much weight, dug myself into a $25,000 credit card debt hole, and my mental state was just shot.

Think Then Do and Beware the Perils of Passion
A friend from high school visited me recently and the inevitable walk down memory lane recapped the last 20 years, catching up on family, travels, employment and other pertinent facts of life. While contemplating choices made throughout the course of our lives, my old friend asked, “How do you ever really know if you’re making the right decisions?”.

The loss of a loved one matures the soul...
... When a loved one withdraws from life unexpectedly, it becomes very difficult. Time seems to stop, and bereavement is so depressing that you can no longer watch what is happening around you, smell no more, see no color, just a sigh of pain…

Participation Trophies: My Unpopular Opinion
We have all heard the good and bad of participation trophies. Some are in favor and some aren’t. Let’s be clear, I am in the school of thought that is NOT a fan of participation trophies, but I have not heard my exact reasons in any argument to date. My friends have encouraged me to share this opinion, whether or not it is for their entertainment value has yet to be determined. To understand how devastating a blow we are dealing with bestowing these awards to impressionable youth, we must first understand where they came from. It was not the Boomers.

The Love & Light Movement is BS
Eat, Pray, & Love was so well received by the sort of girls that worship the goddess of Pumpkin Spice, and are notorious for wearing Lululemons. For others, this was another contribution to the whitewashing of Spirituality. Honestly, the whole notion of Westernizing Eastern philosophies has been a grand debate for decades (maybe even centuries). My complaints towards it could be a drop in an ocean of irritation, and those same people I am referring to would merely lecture me about what demons possess me.
