Vulnerability, a Love Hate Relationship
Cozied up on the couch listening to some late night jazzy tunes with my laptop and Bailey’s over ice in hand…. I feel like this is the perfect time for me to discuss a topic that some of us may have mastered and others, still try to avoid.

The Numbers of Life
We all do it; the whole of society measures their lives by numbers. The numbers on the scales. The number of people we have sex with. The number of online friends (or enemies) we have. The number that reads on our bank balance. We are all told these numbers matter. We are told if our numbers aren't good enough then we should be ashamed of ourselves, our self worth is worthless.

Be the Black Sheep
Many of us “sheep” of society choose to base our everyday life and actions on whatever’s going on in the world. We always find ourselves going everyday with the flow of society. It’s easier to make friends and get followers that way anyways right..? While very few of us “black sheep” of society rather go the hard way. If you asked me I say it's the hard way or the highway; Following a blind society is something that kills our energy, beats us into depression, and drives us to be anxious. Tell me, where does your happiness truly lie? I highly doubt its in following some of the latest trends in society.

It's All Relative
New experiences can be extremely terrifying, but they can also be enlightening and even eye opening. On Monday August 6, I moved into college as a first time freshman. Talk about scary, right? Especially since I have never spent more than a week away from at least one member of my family.

Stones
“I’m telling you, it’s all in the motion.” She holds the stone in her hand and winds her arm back. Knees bent, eyes squinted, and focused on the water. Then, almost as graceful as it is forceful, she chucks the smooth, edgeless stone at the surface of the water and watches it skip.

10 Tips to Achieve Self Love. Top Story - August 2018.
Self love is the most important love you will ever receive, so why do so many people struggle with this? In a world of photoshop, trolls, and everything in between, I'm not surprised people of today's society are struggling with loving themselves. The celebrities they see on TV have been reconstructed with plastic surgery and magazines plaster airbrushed versions of everyone so that we are left to believe our bodies are just one big imperfection.

Go Out and Look for It
While I was growing up, I discovered many of my now interests. I even had passions! At an early age as six years old I loved to dance. LOVED. ADORED, even. From ballet to hip-hop. I took classes until I was 14 years old. For eight years I danced my a** off, with passion and devotion. When I got 11, I realised that music was a major part of my life since I was in my mother’s stomach. My father used to play guitar to my mom, so I would stop moving or kicking her belly. So, for five years I was in a music program at school. I played flute and piano in a harmonic orchestra (made of wind instruments only, in comparison with a symphonic orchestra that has both wind and strings instruments). Being in this program throughout my high school years helped me to have good grades and to keep me focused on positive stuff, even though I was going through some tough situations that got me really depressed for few years.
