Another Year Older...

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been three whole years since I started this blog. It’s kind of crazy to look back and see how far I’ve come, and how much I’ve grown. I feel happier, stronger, and more at peace as a person now, than ever before over the span of my life. I won’t lie… I’m kind of proud of myself.

That being said, there is still work I want to do, and goals I want to accomplish. So much so, that I often feel super anxious because I feel like time is just running out. But, I think as long as I stay organized and on top of my goals, I’ll accomplish what I want. (Hopefully!) There are so many things that I’m looking forward to. For one, my bestie is getting married! So, I’ll be traveling to Italy for the first time for the wedding. And while I’m over in Europe, I also hope to make a stop in Paris! I’m also looking forward to making my new house, more of a home. I’ve lost some steam with getting everything in order, but I hope that in the next couple weeks I can start making progress again.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I feel like I’m at a turning point. Like, things will be changing. And, that makes me both excited and nervous. While I want the challenges to keep on coming, so that I continue to grow as a person, with new experiences adding to my overall level of understanding. I also worry these challenges could be extremely painful. I just pray that God continues to work on me, and teach me lessons in kind and loving ways.

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years. Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use. Until then... these are just amusing.

Why Do People Do What They Do?

Last week, I attended a client meeting with several of my co-workers. During said meeting, one of my co-workers, and good friend, got up to get water for our guests from a mini fridge in a cabinet located in the meeting room. But, she wasn't really quiet or discrete about it, and proceeded to slam the cabinet doors, while our guests were speaking. Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine. But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude. It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats. Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others. I immediately did some self-reflection. While I'm pretty good about not...

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something. In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are. Remember you are not alone. Struggling is a part of being human. Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have. Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better. You are better today, than you were yesterday. Just keep going! Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.
