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…
As I sat and watched my favorite team, The Philadelphia Eagles, play football last night, I kept finding reasons to expect the worst. They were legitimate reasons to be skeptical (injuries, bad defensive play at times, etc.), but it wasn't good for me to keep thinking about the bad. Not only were those bad things…
We all turn to ourselves when we make the final call on decisions in life. We are our best advisors - we know what we need. Sometimes, I know exactly what I need. Other times, I have no idea. I've found recently that no matter how informed I feel about something going on in my…
After two exams yesterday, the rest of my September is pretty open in terms of my schedule. I am pretty excited about that open time to relax, but I want to make sure it doesn't go to waste. I especially don't want to let myself be bored and sit in negative thought because I've done…
I always want to know everything about everything. Wouldn't that make life so much easier? I find myself spinning my wheels all too often, just to find out something that is on my mind right at that moment. I am struggling with a balance between healthy learning and trying too hard to make meaning out…
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…
It's easy to get in your own head. We all do it from time to time. For some, it happens more often than others. For myself, I can say that is definitely the case. Other people's actions don't typically bother me too much, just because I know that everyone is different than I am.…
I would consider myself to be a very open person. I like to discuss the things going on in my life and letting others listen to what's going on in my head and getting feedback. I didn't use to be this way. It took me a while to even talk to one person about…
I keep feeling as if my feelings change. I feel like a mixed-signal, and not much is more annoying than a mixed-signal. I don't want to give myself inconsistent feelings and I don't want other people to struggle to understand me either. I have talked recently about wanting consistency and how good that feels…
