Inspiring Quotes to Reignite Your Motivation
Humor can light a fire under your tuchus just as well as a cat challenging you to, "Hang in there." That's because humor's connection to surprise means we access a point of view we don't already have. Sometimes that point of view undermines the very roadblocks to our motivation. Maybe we're wrong from the get-go to be so concerned about particular goals and values, and you might not know that until someone has made fun of them.

Struggles of Early Adulthood
They say that one of the most transformative periods in your life is that of adolescence. However, I didn't see that as a major turning period in my life. My mom always says, "your twenties are the hardest time." Well, she sure is right. I didn't realise that adulting was so tough. What was worse was coping with shattered assumptions: the world is a good place, we can trust people, people are helpful and kind. Well, these are all generalisations

Is Happiness a Choice?
It's Abbey again, and I had a friend recently tell me that they had never watched the sun set. It was on their to-do list, obviously, they'd just never gotten around to it. It was like I plan to visit all of the 50 states. Well, they plan to see the sunset. Comparable lists, right?

What are the odds that you should be alive right now reading this article and my website? We don’t normally think about the likelihood of our existence on this planet but I believe that it’s something to ponder and be thankful for. We tend to not think about the odds behind being alive and breathing but it is quite fascinating if you do a little bit of research.

Happiness?
As I've gotten older, I've really come to realise that happiness comes from a lot of different things. For me, when I was younger, happiness would come from maybe toys or playing, then through pre-teen and adolescent years, it came from friends, trying new things and new experiences; but as I'm now approaching my twenties and at the end of my teen years, I've come to realise that sometimes the smallest of things are what make me the happiest.

I hiked up a fucking mountain! Me. me! I fucking hiked up a fucking mountain. Now let me say this about myself, i am a fairly active person. I work out anywhere from 5-7 times a week, I love to bike ride and I did play sports for most of my younger days. That was when college happened.

King's Table
"Am I nothing because I have nothing? Or am I everything with nothing needed." This is a Truth that came to me while being in the current predicament I found myself in: homeless. The word itself carries many stigmas. It is a title of disability. Signal of helplessness. Careless perception of being inadequate and ineffective in society and looked down upon while being equally treated as such. An epidemic at it's finest being swept out of sight by bias laws in the name of capital gain and sustained by true law enforcement officers. It is a misfortune plaguing the individuals experiencing it that drains mentally, emotionally, and physically.
