28 Minutes: Challenge and Vulnerability
This one is extremely difficult for me to share and I am not just talking about literally having to limp over to my computer because my legs and ass are sore. No, this is by far one of the most challenging posts to date for me, but one that is necessary. Why? Vulnerability. I have written about personal things before but I think this is the first time I have written about ME. Like, the raw and open and flawed me. You see, I don’t want anyone to worry about me or to think I am not “okay,” because first of all mom, I am okay, let me get that…
Love You Long Time: Life’s Toughest Lessons
Every day for the last few months I have wanted to share my thoughts, my feelings, my sentiments… but every time I went to my computer to type, the cursor just blinked at me. Overwhelmed, I would exit the screen and crawl back into my shell… I think this shell has provided me shelter from the pain, but really it’s provided me a barrier from embracing and facing the truths and harsh realities that comes with life, in particular: death.

Do we understand what it means and how to better get an understanding of the concept? It sounds so difficult or maybe…
Resolutions: Worthy or Not?
I’ve been debating whether I buy in to the whole “New Year’s Resolution” thing and quite frankly have not made resolutions in a few years now (some 40+% of Americans actively set resolutions)… I have been doing some self-study and trying to figure out why this is? Underlying is a whole greater discussion really, a sort of taking myself apart to understand each piece and why some parts of me that I loved so dearly are missing and others have perhaps taken their place. Is this just part of evolution of self, loss of self, or gaining a new self? Well, this must be something in the minds of many…
