Anger, Shame, Guilt.. Three of the most complex yet easy emotions. It is easy to feel angry, wanting vengeance and revenge. It is easy to feel shame, changing your patterns at the risk of being “exposed” of your true colors. It easy to feel guilt, taking the unreasonable blame for something someone else or even what we have done at the expense of someone else. What’s not easy is understanding what these feelings mean. Why do we continuously allow ourselves to be outsmarted by

I don’t believe in fate. I believe we are presented with opportunities leading to a specific achievement; we are then to choose whether to take them or not. If we choose not to take them then we are presented with another opportunity for either, the same or new achievement until we arrive at the one we want.

So my mind does this thing where everyone is talking at the same time. Now I mean that more figuratively than literally. Imagine sitting in a room of 60 people. The key note speaker decides to begin the lecture with a thought provoking question. Now imagine that everyone begins to talk at the same exact time. Each of them discuss a different view point of the same subject. A different relationship to some other topic. Exhausting right? Well that’s what’s going on in my head.

“Discover a Life Beyond the Safety Bubble You’ve Trapped Yourself In.” On Friday I will be ending what has been one of the most influential chapters of my life. It is a bittersweet moment because the things I have grown accustomed to will no longer be. Moving forward is such a scary concept full of uncertainties. The realm of the unknown is supposed to an eternal abyss of hope & happiness. It is here that we should find joy & opportunity. It is here that we are supposed to ha

The ancient proverb Mind over Matter is popularly explained as “the use of willpower to overcome physical problems” . Some use it as a way to avoid an addiction or overindulgence. Some use it in reference to their interactions with others, not allowing another’s actions to affect them. In thinking of mind over matter in one of it’s most literal forms, the mind is more powerful than the body, there is a very important question that can be asked. What is the correlation between

I am angry. I am angry at all the adults that were there. I am angry at all the adults that watched. I am angry at all the adults that should have looked after my well being. I am angry. I am angry at all the adults that should have held the other adults accountable. I am angry at all the adults that allowed this child to be treated as an adult. I am angry at all the adults that allowed this child to grow up before she had to. I am angry. I am angry at all the adults that did

In society dating back to before our grandparents, grandparents were born, there had always been a fear of The Other Woman. The Other Woman usually refers to a mistress of some sort with whom you share your significant other’s attention. Today, it is almost glorified to be The Other Woman. Often times another woman can make you feel like you aren’t doing something. This is most often completely untrue. Sometimes men just use their sexual urges as excuses to act irresponsibly

When a bird is standing at the edge of a cliff, what holds her back? Is it the fear that she will fall to her inevitable defeat? Or is it the fear that she will soar to immeasurable heights? We are the birds, on our own cliffs, trying to decipher which fate will be easier to accept. The answer is neither. Both of these choices are just that, choices, none greater than the next. What is it about the possibility of success that we are so afraid of? Why do we find it so hard to

You are you, I am me, Differences aside, this is still we. We are still making a change, Helping each other grow & stay sane. Not everything we do will be perfect, But everything we endure will be worth it. It is easy to separate “me” from us, Easy for “me” to encourage comfort in where “I” am. Fortunately, that comfort is not all there is, That is not all we are really worth. Do not be afraid, Stand tall & firm in the face of the unknown. You are your greatest strength, A we

“And don’t tell me what to say, and don’t tell me what to do..” Being under a microscope has got to be one of the most demeaning things in the world. Feeling like you can’t eat or breathe without permission. Why do we do this. We do this with everything; fears, expectations, and especially people; limiting our success at the risk of being free from ourselves and others. “Just let me be myself, that’s all I ask of you..” Being able to express yourself however you would like is

The word perfect has so many things attached to it. Requirements, Expectations, Rules, Regulations, Sex, Age, Career, Income, Race, Lifestyle, and the list goes on. It’s never enough to simply just be yourself and all of what that means. It’s never enough to simply do unto others as you would have them do unto you. No, you have to go above and beyond, not to satisfy your standards but to satisfy the standard that is perfection. This topic does not need to be developed into an
