Self-Made?
I get called self-made, by those who I will admit, know me the best. At times I would have agreed, But the truth is, I am not self-made. I am very far from self-made. I wasn’t raised in the traditional sense. When I was a child and teenager, I would watch those who I lived with and pick up all the traits I didn’t want to have. I knew who I didn’t want to be by the time I was 20, but I didn’t know who I was, not really.

Overcoming you
It’s that time again, coming up so quickly, it’s the day I died, and it’s the day that I was born. It’s the day that we burned the house down (figuratively) to the ashes and wholly changed. And somehow, I rebuild something different, something better and new. On February 28, 2010, I died and Woke up to a new person on March 1, 2010. Since then, I have been through so many emotions and a roller coaster. From forgetting the event to working hard to remember. While the fragments of my memory aren’t whole, it bounces around my head.

I Stand, But I Stand for a Ceasefire
Take a stand, not for war but for a ceasefire. This isn’t what the media wants, no, peace is not something that makes news. But what is better for not only us but for our children. Do we save a life by pointing our fingers? No, we destroy lives that way. We are playing the blame game and that is the “truth” we’re preaching. It’s this person’s fault or that, but that’s the lies that we are not only being fed but believing. No one ever wins when the goal is to settle the score. Really, what is winning?
