Reaping Benefits: Continuing Motivation

Humans are inherently lazy. We like things to be easy. You can see this in how much technology has evolved to allow us to work as little as possible for things that used to be so much harder to come by. Why go to the theatre when we have Netflix? Why go to the store,ContinueContinue reading “Reaping Benefits: Continuing Motivation”

Waiting on your Destination [Fighting Self & Depression]

“Those streetlights passing, happen to be just like moments passing in front of me. So, I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare because I know my destination but I’m just not there.” I have dreams. I have visions. I have hopes and aspirations for my life. However, the one thing that IContinueContinue reading “Waiting on your Destination [Fighting Self & Depression]”

Maturity Sneaks Up On You

It’s interesting how certain habits and traits start to sneak up on you. The older I’ve gotten, the more I have gone from sleeping in every Saturday Morning from partying every Friday Night, to waking up Saturdays with a purpose. Not like I still get ANYTHING done on Saturdays, but it’s a start. It’s progress.ContinueContinue reading “Maturity Sneaks Up On You”

Finding the Balance

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post talking about depression and the struggles I went through, I wanted to talk about my healing process.

Day One

This is the type of post you will see 1,000 times in January and Zero times in June. However, this is the post I like writing the most. This is the proverbial, “I have an idea and no matter what, I think it’s good enough to try”-post. But, what makes them good is that havingContinueContinue reading “Day One”

The Act of Failing

I have a confession to make. I have failed. A lot. In fact, I have failed so many times that I got so comfortable down there that I never expected anything more out of myself. My most recent fail was my last semester at school. Honestly, my entire academic career in college has been oneContinueContinue reading “The Act of Failing”

Ordinary Day

I randomly was picking songs for me to listen to off my iPod and came across Vanessa Carlton’s Ordinary Day. Today though, something was strangely familiar and different about the way I felt about her chorus. I listened over and over to the song and it kept echoing in my head. That boy, that ordinaryContinueContinue reading “Ordinary Day”

Take The First Step

Yesterday, I wrote a post about my current situation and the desire to make more out of where I am now. However, in such desire, I am somewhat at a loss. I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE TO START!! The first step is frightening. The first step is confusing. It’s like you are standing in frontContinueContinue reading “Take The First Step”
