It's amazing how 24 hours ago I was flying through 1,000,000 thoughts and this morning I'm bopping to some music and loving life. I'd say my mood changed 5 times yesterday. My mind is just a constant switch, that sometimes I don't have control of. But, at the same time, I feel like I do…
As it is easy for myself to look ahead at what's to come, I can't help but be eager to start things that I know are coming in my near future. I know what I'm going to do when the time comes, so I am ready to get after it! Unfortunately, that's not how…
Unfortunately, I'm starting the week off sick. Coughing, stuffed up and feeling a bit weak. Overall, just not a good time! However, I am reminded of my work ethic and that I can easily make my way through this. (I kinda have to because I have a busier school week). Nonetheless, 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…
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've discussed recently about the benefits of opening up to those around you. I realize how difficult that can be. It's hard to be open and vulnerable with others around you. I thought about my journey through life, and although opening up to my friends was hard and a big step for me, there…
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…
