One of the goals that I wish to achieve is consistency throughout daily life. I want a rock-solid routine. I want to have that foundation I can lean on every single day that keeps me going. Whether it's the people, the places, the things I'm doing - I want to be grounded in the consistency…
When I reflect on hard times and heavy pain that I've dealt with before, I recognize the extensive learning I have received from each situation. I still hurt for myself that I had to go through those things, but I am thankful for them now. Thankful? For pain? Might sound crazy, but I truly am.…
I have a word document that I consistently update titled "Life". It is a compilation of things in life that I love, that I don't love, that I have learned about myself, what I want going forward, what I thought about the past, bucket lists, reminders, and much more. It's a bunch of lists about…
Sometimes when I think, I feel like the "spinning wheel" you see when a webpage is loading. Sometimes it takes one second to load, and other times it takes quite a while. Either way, I make sure to not close out my thought. I will wait for it to fully process in order to move…
There are plenty of places in the world. There are plenty of people in the world. But sometimes, you feel like nowhere is the "right place" for you. Likewise, sometimes you can feel like no one around you makes up the "people" that you want in your life. I've been there before! Where nothing…

That picture up there? The boy with the big smile? That's me! I just came across this picture and it definitely made me smile. I'm thankful for every time I feel that good in a day. But, sometimes, I forget to be thankful - and that's the message today. I need to remind myself to…
This summer taught me something important that I need to focus on and remember: I need to chill more often. And this goes further than escaping the Missouri humidity - I find myself wrapped in anxiety and nerves that don't need to be there. Some anxiety and nervousness is natural - it will happen whenever…
Golf season is right around the corner, and for most of the summer, my swing has felt weird. Not bad, just weird. After hearing from a few people that have watched my swing and working on some things, my hands seem to be moving quicker than my body. I'm not in sync! When I was…
