I am amazed by many things in life. I would consider myself an emotional reflecter. A thoughtful creature destined for amazement by life. But it usually comes after the moment. At each specific present moment of life, I may not feel a specific emotion. However, once I receive processing or reflecting time, I find emotions…
I haven't blogged since February 23rd, 2022. During that time, I always plan to make time for a post once per week. When that time has come, I have found myself fairly empty of guided thoughts or feelings. I used to really judge myself when this would happen - "How do you have nothing to…
Throughout the many decisions we have to make each and every day in life, there seems to always be plenty of hesitation. Whether that hesitation comes from fear of bad results, analyzing outcomes, not understanding processes, or other factors, we find ourselves not committing to decisions that we "should" make.

Over the past 24 hours, I've been very critical of myself. I am being nitpicky about what I want to be better at, what I need to "fix". Originally, it was solely in a negative outlook. I was looking at these things in my life and viewing them as "you're not good enough". It…
