I Won’t Debate Anymore!
I am stressed out by a comment I should have ignored and because of that I can’t sleep. It’s new year's eve, so I can not sleep if I want to and no one will care. Though, theoretically it is already the new year, starting awfully bad for me. All that because I decided to make ONE comment on a subject of debate. It’s decided, my new year resolution is to get involved in no more debates anymore. If you wondered what the debate was about, I won’t even mention it. It would only bring the debate here instead and I said no debates! My sleep depends on it. I need my sleep back!

“Ebooks had to happen” — Jeff Bezos Due to an influx in the number of mobile devices amidst our societies, Everything has gone digital.

The People We Like From the First Second Are Magical
There are people we like from the first moment we see them. We do not know exactly why, but in the gray world around us, they are like an explosion of color, connecting us with ourselves and with life.

Letter To Past Self In 2021
Dear Amanda, Your life is going to be a struggle, but do not let that get you down. You are going to face trials and tribulations, but they will not keep you down. You will fall, but you will not stay down for long, you will get back up. You are a survivor, and you will be able to get through anything. You will find love and you will get your heart broken. It will also heal, and you will be better than ever. You will have kids and find a career that you love, and you will have a following you never dreamt of. You are your mother’s daughter for sure. You have her strength and her determination. You have her love and spirit. Do not run away to your dad's house because you feel that it is the only way for you to have a dad. If he really wants you in his life, if he really wants to be a dad he will be, and if he does not then it is his loss, not yours. Do NOT defend your dad to your grandpa, it is your dad’s job, and you are a kid, let your parents be the parents and you be a little girl. Do not try so hard to follow around your sisters, if they want you around, they will let you know, and if not, not your loss. DO NOT put up with in-laws and do not marry a mommy’s boy! You will never be happy if you do. Let those you love know you love them. ALWAYS stand up for yourself, even when you think you should keep your mouth shut. NEVER BACK DOWN, NEVER STAND DOWN! Never forget to be yourself. Do not be controlled. Do not let someone lie to you. Do not accept defeat. Amanda, you can do wonderful things. I see so many things in my dreams that I know will be achieved one day. Keep dreaming, because you have a long life to live and once you stop dreaming... you stop living! One day you will be a married woman, you have a wonderful daughter, you will have a handsome son. You will be an author, a singer/songwriter, a lawyer, a mom, a wife, a podcaster, a journalist, and so much more. You will have a full life. You will always want to look back on pictures so make sure you take many pictures, and you take care of them, back them up, so you can always look back on your fond memories. You will want to always keep pictures of your mom, your kids, and your life with your kids. Holidays like Mother's Day and your birthday will become just another day to you and as much as you wish that would be different it will not be any different. You will fight with your husband, sometimes you will wonder if things will really work out in many of your relationships, especially when it comes to your marriage and family issues. You will have to think about what happens to you, your home, and your kids if you get divorced. And what happens to you and your kids if you do stay together. You will always think about and worry about what happens to your kids. That will never be something that changes. You will be a proud mom for the rest of your life. Nothing will ever change that. You will always have a very close relationship with your kids, they will never be far from you.

2022: Resilience
As 2021 comes to a close, I sit contemplating what 2022 will bring. I sit, as I recover from my mild bout of Covid, and think on what my wants and needs are for the upcoming year. Of course, I’d like to lose the weight that I put on over the last two years. Of course, I have perpetual goals to increase my financial stability. Of course, I want to travel more, see family and friends, have career growth, I want all the things that we all want each year. Yet, as I sit with only one day left in 2021, I think and contemplate my physical health and my mental well-being.

The day my life flashed before my eyes
Reading about all the cases of near-death and rape cases brought back memories of my own running with a similar situation. Persons recount having to make split-minute decisions. While some escape with memories of the even other life to tell their stories. Today, I am one of the lucky ones who walked away with only memories. It was the first time my life flashed before my eyes.

How Our Facebook Vocal Groups Evolve
I often see people posting old Vocal stories to increase the reads, but the problem is once you have read a Vocal story , further visits will not increase the reads on that story. I thought it is a bit pointless sharing old stories because only new readers will count.

5 Years of Life After High School
It's scary how time passes by quickly. 2021 marks the 5 year anniversary of graduating high school. I looked back at the past 5 years and I feel like I haven't done much. I remember what I wrote in my year book and it said I saw myself living in an overseas country. Realistically, this was never going to happen with the events of the past 18 months. The most notable achievements are completing my bachelor's degree, joining a student organisation and creating my personal brand not much but it's something...

How to make over $1000 writing in Medium?
Medium's best writers make a lot, scoring five points in just a few months. Any writer can make $1,000 a month on Medium (or more). If you've heard of Medium and its "cash program," you've probably seen people making thousands of dollars a month or even a single product. Many high-performing writers admit that less than 10% of all their articles are getting the most out of their monthly moderate income.

How I Manifested $90,000 in 3 Days
Before I get into the story of how I manifested $90,000 in three days, I need to explain what manifestation is. You have probably seen videos on YouTube talking about manifestation and how they manifested their dream house or manifested an expensive car. Before you dismiss the reality and validity of manifestation, think about this:

Facing the Bear
One thing we all love about Prince charming is that he slays the dragon. We breathe a collective sigh of relief when he rides in on the horse and wields his sword. We hold our breath in anticipation but deep inside we know he is going to complete his rescue mission with flying colors. It’s why we cheer when he shows up. Protection has arrived. We feel safe and know happily ever after is only moments away. Why? Prince Charming is symbolic of love. Love sleighs the dragons and therefore it removes fear. When there are no snorting, sniveling, beasts blowing their fiery, toxic waste our way we feel safe and secure and are set free to live our best life.
