I was recently asked the question of "do you think people are truly doing their best?" I sat and pondered the question for a moment and my immediate reaction was "no". Reflecting on that further, I still think "no", but I think it's complicated. I think many people consider "doing your best" to mean…
I find myself stressing over the unit of time - well, all the time. Asking myself questions like: "What is going to happen next?" "What just happened?" "Do I have time for this?" "Where has the time gone?" "What will time tell me now?" At the end of the day, I just stick my…
As hard as it may be to look back on mistakes you may have made in your past, you should never look back with regret. Each time I look back with a regretful vision, I find that I lose the thankfulness I have for the road I've traveled. The road I've traveled is anything but…

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…
