Rerisen
Sometimes when obstacles present themselves, disillusionment descends upon us in what seems to be various cloaks. It can be difficult to see through the roadblocks, and even much more difficult to see them as opportunities or perhaps even signs for our life's road to take a different turn or deviation.

On Stage
Growing up I always somehow felt out of place. I struggled to make friends and I often found myself awkward and a little weird. I can hold conversations and express my opinions without offending anyone. Maintaining friendships has been hard as I moved schools a lot. Being teased was nearly an everyday occurrence until High School when. I enjoyed the arts and in eleventh grade, I decided to take a drama class and I have no idea how that happened or what my decision-making process was then maybe I thought it would raise my GPA? I had no idea.

How Blogging has Changed Me
Wow, my hundredth post. Like… wow. It’s insane for me to realize that I’ve been writing on my personal blog, livelifeliberated.com, for almost three years now. And in that time I’ve written a hundred posts! Like what? How? That’s insane! How do I even have that much to say?

You are a House
Let’s look at your house. It has a particular size, shape, color, interior, exterior, age, wear and tear, and location. There is nothing special about this house other than the dimensions that it is defined by.

No Rewards for Rich Work Ethics
No consequences for poor work ethic and no rewards for rich work ethic. It is what keeps businesses alive and relationships between employer and employee healthy. There is nothing more condescending to a great worker’s confidence than to see poor ethic go ignored and to realize there will be no growth for what they are doing; creates an ominous thought process for the intelligent worker.

Unmasking The Crippling Chains From My Past
In 1974, both my parents migrated from Jamaica to Canada in hopes of a better future. They left behind three children in doing so — my older sister was 8, my younger brother was 2, and I was 5. And though not much changed in terms of our living arrangements — we lived with our paternal grandmother as we already did, their leaving shattered our world and would change all of us forever.

How I Made Tinder My Side Hustle In Poland
The apps that connect people can also be used as a source of income. When it comes to apps like Tinder, the thought that’d strike any decently dirty mind is sex for money. I am a man, so I may have anywhere between 0% and 0.001% chance that a woman would pay me to get laid. So, there dies your anticipated answer. Kaboom!

Yellow Melo
The Color Yellow Part 1 Never thought for a moment that my Yellowy T-Shirt would actually be okay to wear for a job. I was just about to go to my bedroom to change when I decided, to stay dressed the way I am . Today I feel like wearing the yellow color.

Three Summers Off The Grid
The concept and practice of Off Grid Living, has long been a fascination and a goal of mine. It remains very high on my list of dreams and goals to accomplish. The ability to live comfortably and sustainably, with or without money, with or without the infrastructure of modernity, is a skill set we would all benefit from learning about.

Deactivated
Lights, camera, action! I’m not talking about a day on set. It’s a day too attached to social media. The lights! The lights from notifications, the led light flashing, the glowing light from the screen that takes me to a place far from the real world. The camera! The camera that makes me more beautiful than I ever thought I could be; thank you to filters and angles. A picture must be posted daily or everyone will forget what I look like. The action! The constant action! What online action will occur today? Will I make my opinion heard? Will I troll a post? Who knows, the internet is at my fingertips.

By the Light Of The Moon
Many years have passed since I’ve felt authentically like me, except when I’m writing, but not that long ago I remember a time when I felt incredibly capable, confident, and secure within my own skin. I felt as if anything life hurled at me, I could tackle and overcome with Ease and Grace. A few years have passed since then but lately, I’ve noticed my authentic self is coming back. I have to work at it but she’s still there. I think she’s waiting for me to discover her again.

"Whenever it is, do it now!"
"Do it now" A sentence I have heard often, but it is true too. At the same time, when you can't do it now, whatever reasons that might be - financial, practical or no skills - you don't have to be sorry or have regrets if things doesn't work out.
