I've found that I need to talk things through when I have something on my mind... Which seems to be all the time. From ideas, goals, doubts, anxieties, questions, observations - my mind always seems to have something I want to talk about. For a long time, I would always tell myself "It's interesting…
Over the past 24 hours, I've been very critical of myself. I am being nitpicky about what I want to be better at, what I need to "fix". Originally, it was solely in a negative outlook. I was looking at these things in my life and viewing them as "you're not good enough". It…
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…

I have many personal relationships that I value highly. Whether that be with my parents, my fraternity brothers, my mentors... They are all important to me. However, as a very individualistic person, I sometimes feel like all people are good for is getting in the way. I've always had a mind with a slim…
