Broken but Good
I have been broken. At the time I was sure my life was over. Things could not get any worse. Then things changed. I was wrong. Things improved. Sometimes we are broken for good. Sometimes we can’t become better than who we are until we are broken of the mundane mediocre life we settled for.…

We bring pain to ourselves.
Yes things hurt. We get hurt by others and we get physical pain inflicted on us by things we can not control. However, there are so many things that we do that cause ourselves pain. From jobs we choose to lack of care to our bodies and minds. We must be mindful of what we…

Life is Not Competition.
Slow down. Life is not a race or a competition. Just because someone gets to a milestone before you means nothing to your journey. You can do life out of order. You do not have to have a life time career. You can choose many. You do not have to marry anyone. You can live…

What Friend?
Did you ever run into a friend whom you haven’t seen in a long time and wonder what happened? You know the one. The one who you did everything with and were even maybe contemplating spending forever with, yeah that one. What did you say the last time you saw them? In my experience, when…

Are you safe?
I feel safe. I know it is nothing more than a feeling. What makes me feel safe is the trust I have in humans. I trust my family to do as they should. I trust my coworkers, my employer and others to do as they should. It is all just a feeling and I hope…
