One year ago, I began on a new journey with this site that I thought would just be a little journal for me to dabble and doodle in. As I sit here today, on January 31st, 2019, I can say that this blog has been far more significant than I ever could have imagined. This…
I constantly think about what I want to do going forward. So many options in life. So many paths to take. It's honestly really stressful. What if I choose the wrong path? What if I get stuck in a certain direction? What if I fail? In these moments, I used to get overwhelmed and let…
I actually can't believe it. I haven't thrown a fit over something in a long time. Usually, when I become hurt, sad, angry, etc., I just shut down. The last 2 times this happened, I was yelling, throwing things, and became aggressive. It honestly was very scary. I had a complete lack of control over…
The idea of "New Year, New Me" is living in the minds of many as the calendar shifts to a new year: 2019. I am in this mindset, but I don't need a "new" me. I need a "better" me. I don't want to change who I am. I want to be better at who…

I am currently reading a book titled "Everybody Always" by Bob Goff. The subtitle is "Becoming Love in a World Full of Setbacks and Difficult People". That subtitle drew me into this book (besides it being recommended by a friend) because as someone who is a people pleaser, I want to be able to become…
Fear is something that strikes and holds back people everywhere. Fear makes me so mad. Fear sucks. Living out of fear, at its best, gets you nowhere. In most cases for me, it sets me back. When I am on the golf course, every time I hit a shot that I am scared to hit,…
Most of the time when I am writing, I am writing to get things off of my chest, dealing with depression, stress, anxiety, or other negative feelings. Tonight, I am writing with a light heart and a smile. As I sit here and think about my life right now, it is incredibly far from perfect.…
