Awesome people

I see extraordinary people everywhere. People at the gym with major medical problems, people in institutions struggling, people battling personal problems in daily life; but they live and fight, despite their struggles. It is incredible to see; people surviving despite their circumstances are inspiring and make me so happy to watch; they give me courage… Continue reading

What I grew up thinking

I heard, constantly, the phrase “Life sucks”… and then you commit suicide because it’s so bad. Undoing this notion is a constant work in progress,considering the large sway it held. I have my moments of getting caught up in the woes of the world, I am human; I have emotions. However, viewing the world itself… Continue reading

Here and Now

You are you, here and now, take it or leave it (YOU take it!) If other people fail to”take it” , that is ok; not everyone is alike (and that is alright!). People are people, all fallible, but we do have commonalities that unite us; the most glaring of which is that we are all… Continue reading

Give me watcha got, day; I can take it! I had to pump myself up this morning and tell myself “It’s going to be a GREAT day. Good things are coming!” Mornings can be tough, but telling yourself they’re not makes them better; lamenting and fighting causes inevitable strife. Tell yourself, “I WILL be awesome… Continue reading

Cheers to you

You all rock, yes you! You all inspire me and motivate me everyday; your encouragement is awesome. And I can imagine, if you guys do it for ME who else you rub off on. Imagine if we all lifted each other up, what an incredible world this would be. No competition about how cool you… Continue reading

Regrets

Regrets; they can have a huge influence on you…if you let them (they can consume you). An example: when my father committed suicide, I found him around 12:30; I stopped at 7-11 from 12-12:15. His death was at 12:15; for a very long time, I was irate with myself. If I had just not stopped,… Continue reading

Experiences and illness

I am a composite; of experiences, influences, personal relationships, things I’ve read and seen, people’s influences, etc. For good OR bad. It therefore makes sense to me, that I would do my utmost to make my impact on the world a positive one. I have issues that keep me from doing everything I would like… Continue reading

Positive or negative?

This morning was rocky (physically), I had trouble walking; for a brief instant I was upset. Then I mentally told myself, “This will pass, this will not stop me, I am going to have a good day Damn It!” I have many friends who are struggling with some major life issues; the fact that I… Continue reading
