As we all know, time seems to move faster and faster each day. Every time I look at a picture, hear a song, see a friend, I'm reminded of how far back some of those memories are. They all feel like they were just yesterday. I've talked previously about how I want to…
Sitting in the past is useful at times. Reflection is okay, but living in the past can be dangerous. I specifically take time out of my day to reflect, but once it's done, I work hard to move forward. I'm not perfect, and sometimes I do look back, but I am always working to move…
We all have things in life that we know are frequent but hurtful. They are simply just bad for us. They might not seem inherently bad, but they don't do positive things for you. I am aware of those temptations in my life. How come it is hard at times to throw those things…
I talk a lot about my times of reflection and analyzation. I sit back and think a lot about everything. However, this moment is different. I have something on my mind today, and it hasn't taken me much thought or emotion to realize where my head and my heart are. It almost makes me…

I am struggling with a balance between healthy learning and trying too hard to make meaning out…
