Choosing to have fun…

Question. When you think of millennials, do you think fun? Is there anything resembling fun floating in the air as a buzzword around millennials? As a millennial, I can answer that question and say no. We’re educated. But fun, no. If you read anything about us, our thing is oversharing, debt and failing to launch.Continue reading “Choosing to have fun…”

Choosing to take responsibility…

I know I played a part in how my life was. I’d be a liar to say I was depressed and everyone ignored me. That I was surrounded by awful, terrible, toxic people. It’s unfair to them and a disservice to myself as an individual. I was difficult. I wasn’t the nicest kid, not evenContinue reading “Choosing to take responsibility…”

…and getting what is needed.

Now we know I wasn’t fine. I was very unhappy and isolated from everyone. There was a wall built up around me, but I finally decided to scale it. So now what? As hard was to be honest, now I had to do something with it. I had to persist past telling the truth, andContinue reading “…and getting what is needed.”

Choosing to be honest…

“How are you?” “Fine, how are you?” “I’m doing fine too.” Everyday small talk for probably all of us. I know it is for me. The honesty of this interaction has become the face of the changing times and how little people chose to truly interact. Of course, in a lot of social situations, youContinue reading “Choosing to be honest…”

Choosing to get uncomfortable…

Per my last post, I tailored my life to be as comfortable as possible. I don’t take risks, I don’t push myself too hard and I’ve let routine dominate. At this point, you could say it’s all habit. The predictability is safe and keeps me comfortable. But at this point we know it’s something IContinue reading “Choosing to get uncomfortable…”

The Choice of Life

My resolution for this year was to choose life above all else. In my struggles with depression, I dealt with my difficulties by hiding and running away from them. Any issue I had, I avoided dealing with them by surrendering. It made me a ‘good kid’ by never fighting for what I wanted, and thingsContinue reading “The Choice of Life”

The past few months

This year, I decided to start a mental health journey. I was tired of being unhappy and feeling trapped there. I knew life could be better. So I decided to do all I could to get there. I used tools such as books, videos and eventually a therapist to finally be something other than miserable.Continue reading “The past few months”

Hello again…..

Hello again. Its been a while since I’ve written anything on my blog. A lot of it was being in my head about my posts and losing momentum. I do apologize to anyone waiting for me to post again.               These past few months have been immensely difficult for a lot of us. Besides theContinue reading “Hello again…..”

Letting go…

This is the one thing you must do in order to be successful in any self-improvement journey. Letting go is literally releasing the baggage weighing you down and holding you back. You hear it everywhere, even in songs at this point. That’s because its so important to do.  But it’s also not easy. There areContinue reading “Letting go…”

This Year

In 2020, I’ve decided to grow up.               For a while, I’d always been uncomfortable with the idea of ‘adulting’, but in 2020 I’m embracing it. In other words, I want to do better. Mentally, and spiritually.               I have to say that if I had a life report card, I’d be failing. I couldContinue reading “This Year”
