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…
Over the weekend, I was watching a movie called "The Truman Show". I started to feel a lot of anxiety and I felt bad for the main character. The movie is about a man who is living his life inside a TV show, and everyone knows it's a TV show, except for him. I felt…
When I was a kid, my life revolved around my family, sports, music, and faith. I had an awesome childhood, I'd say. I got to be involved in all of these things each day: Family: I was homeschooled, so I spent tons of time with my mom and my sisters. Sports: I was in baseball,…

As I sit here today, I am thinking about my future. Usually, those thoughts stress me out, but it feels different today. I want to figure out what I want to do in all aspects of my life. What kind of job do I want? What kind of relationships do I need? What will fulfill…
Golfing, laughing, being with family and friends, eating, sleeping, helping others, bird-watching, listening to music, writing: Just a few things that I enjoy doing throughout my days. And when I am able to do a lot of those things, my life is good. I feel fulfilled, happy, satisfied, etc. But eventually, it can't always be…
Over the past few days, I've continually stressed about many things in my future: - Will I find the right woman to spend my life with? - Will I find the right career and be able to support myself? - Will I be okay? The more I think about these things, the more I begin…
