Crossroads
Start writing... That’s what it tells me to do More along the lines of start thinking... The world is upside-down now, or at least on its ear pear-shaped... Everyone is scared now, or rather, most are scared in the first-world countries... Others are non-chalant... Many are hopeful... The rest might as well be sheep...

What About Me??
I have never been good at expressing myself. I sometimes find it extremely hard just to formulate one sentence describing how I am feeling. Some I am certain would argue my environment is to blame; that my being forced to live in silence, my not being allowed to deal with my emotions, all contributes my lack of communication skills.

Stop Dwelling on the Past
No matter how hard you are on yourself, you can't be stuck on the past. If they ever had a time machine, people would be stuck on it. You know why? Because no matter the outcome everyone wants to always change one thing that happened. I have learned that no matter what nothing will ever be as fantastic as you would want it so just go with the flow.

One of the millions of immigrant stories
I love my country, the Dominican Republic. I love Uptown New York, where I’ve resided most of my adult life. I’m one of the millions of immigrant stories. I came here, I’ve struggled, I’ve conquered and I continue to strive for higher levels of success. The goal is always to support the Latino movement here. But we must look further and realize the importance of our platform to empower the Latinos in the diaspora, an often forgotten but crucial detail when it comes to uplifting our community.

5 ways to use this time to your advantage.
5 ways to utilize this time inside during lockdown because of "Covid 19." 1.)Use this time to consider yourself... With the fast pace society we live in today, most barely catch a breath let alone have the chance to sit and reflect before they are racing back to work for the week ahead. Use this time as if you asked for it by kicking those feet up clearing your mind and enjoying some time to allow your thoughts space to flow without trying to stop or start them. This can help you feel more connected with your own lifestyle choices and how well you feel they truly serve you. Maybe you are not happy as you once were at the job you are at, have you neglected your true nature or worse focused on financial obligations before your true obligations to that which you love such as family connection, friend's, your animals or the relationship with your spouse. Make room for what you have neglected to receive the attention and focus by making the most of the time away from work. You might be thanking heaven later for the chance given for you to remember what is important to you and why.

Reassessing Life During the Coronavirus Pandemic
Like many of you, I am quarantined at home through a safer-at-home order to curtail the COVID-19 pandemic. The news and social media have showcased stages of denial, shock, scrambling, acceptance, and integration. Like me, you may have found yourself in a continual information feed, staying up-to-date with what is happening in the world and simultaneously evaluating your own priorities. What do we do with ourselves now that our routine has been disrupted? With society on pause, we have the opportunity to go within and return to what matters.

Introduction: The Beginnings of Motivated In Life
Well, hello Vocal Media community! I joined today and thought, the best way to start my story would be to provide an introduction. I'm not much of a story writer, so hope it doesn't bore you too much nor come across as me selling my services! (I would like to do that, but I have my other channels for that, this is more for me to share knowledge, insights and experiences with you all.)

End Market Exclusivity
In this slowly dying world that we live, we humans have created a social and economic system rooted in exclusivity, exclusivity derived from the opinions, biases, and agendas of individuals (or groups or markets of individuals) claiming that they are the 'all knower's' of what the people want and of what the people don't want—of what is 'good' and of what is 'bad'—insofar said individuals become the 'key holders' to these markets, the dictators of who gets to 'make it' into the respective market, and who doesn't. Themselves clandestinely worshiping ageism and pretending to be gods with regards to their industry knowledge when they are but in-fact infants in an unimaginably young Universe.

Every Good Thing Is Counted
I've had a bit of a setback. It's very easy to sink back into old habits, especially if you're having trouble getting back to a semi-regular sleeping pattern. I found even if I had the motivation to do anything it would be too late at night to do it, particularly as I live with other people. I don't think there's an easy solution to it, other than to keep trying. I finally broke it by staying up 24 hours and then finally going to sleep at an early time, and then forcing myself to get up when my alarm went off. For a few days I was still pretty lethargic.

Choosing Life
I graduated college in the Summer of 2017. I worked hard during school, competing and winning a writing competition, trying to get the best grades I could, officer positions in a club and anything else I could do that would make me stand out on a resume.
