Life is a constant search for what is next. My vision is always fixed on wanting to be "happy". But many times I feel like I fall short of what I want to feel. I realize that the better word to describe what I'm searching for is "peace". Let me explain. There are…
I've been in a much better mindset as of late. Despite mistakes being made (as normal, it's life), I haven't been so hard on myself. I've realized, I've learned, and I've been patient.

If this were a year ago, I would be scared. I would be questioning myself and wondering if this is exactly what I wanted out of life. Where do I want to go from here? The future used to be a major question for me - but I know where I am headed. I…
I made a huge mistake. To many, it may not seem like it. But to me, it's a big deal. I have a job to do, and in this moment, I failed. I completely failed. This is what I was afraid of. I am extremely fearful of having a responsibility that affects more than…
