Priorities Change
In the womb, we have no priorities. We swim in a warm, safe lagoon, and dream endlessly. There are no choices to be made, no fears and no worries. We are calm, sometimes active, but mostly still beings. We are as complex as the universe, yet have no real purpose, no priorities. But the moment we enter the world, everything changes.

Sickness
Fear is only two of many different ways we perceive it to be. True fear which you acknowledge as danger causes you to freeze, hide, or flee. Then there's irrational fear which is a phobia, but fear could also be a sickness for the people who think very differently than the "normal" way of thinking. Fear can cause damage to a person's brain and impair the memories, so their way of thinking is distorted.

On Resiliency
We seem to have reached a point in time where our lives are more stressful than ever. Each day the responsibilities on our shoulders seemingly increase, our thirst to achieve our dreams and goals grow stronger, and the emotional and mental stress laid upon us by our jobs, degrees, or relationships often take a physical toll. How can we expect to keep going in times like this? How do we overcome the overwhelming urge to simply pull the covers over our heads and ignore the call to rise another day and function, when we feel dismally hopeless? Resiliency is the name of the game.

Finding Who I Am
Current Date & Time: 03/06/2018 6:46PM It's been a long time since I've questioned myself. My morals, my values, who I want to be, what I want to be, etc. And now... I'm stuck at a standstill trying to figure all of this out while my work is piling up. I don't know who I am anymore. It's terrifying not knowing who you are. Looking in the mirror and not being able to recognize the face looking back at you. Realizing all of the messed up things you've done in the past and trying to convince yourself it was for the better, but knowing that you've hurt people and trying to forgive yourself, hoping they forgive you some day too. Realizing that when you were younger you were just so stupid and you haven't grown up much since then. To know you're still hurting people and you're still trying to find your way but not knowing how. I feel like a kid lost in a 1,000 aisle grocery store, not knowing what aisle their mom is in.

Stepping up to the Mic. Top Story - April 2018.
You've tried deep breathing, taking sips of water, and pausing in between slides. You've kicked things off with a joke or a smile to lighten the mood. You've tried repeating the words "Just be yourself!" in your head over and over as you stood up to begin speaking. You've pictured your audience in their underwear and focused on their foreheads to avoid eye contact. You've practiced in front of the mirror, a few close friends, and even strangers at Toastmasters.

Rip the Band-Aid Off
I never had an easy life. For the most part of my life, I have never been truly happy. I’ve always felt like the world was crushing me. When I was a child, my family used to take care of other children that came into our foster home. You would think that I would always have someone to play with and would feel like I was never alone or lonely. However, the exact opposite feelings came from this childhood. I was very much alone in my thoughts as I was never good at opening up.

In Dreams
In the dreams of many, one is carried away to a land of enchantment and wonder. Then again, there are many a night where one dreams of misfortune and woe. It is those most trouble some nights when we suddenly wake up and realize that the world has, indeed, changed. For the fortunate few who have weathered the storms of life, the dreams they have might just include fantasies of one form or another. In playing out a role in these types of dreams, one is whisked away to places that may have had an actual influence in the life they have led.

Giving Up
Don't we all miss the days where we were carefree children? We didn't have to stress about paying our bills, finding a job, working to build our future and balancing our personal life. All we wanted to do was to have fun and play with other children, but little did we know how challenging adulthood was going to be.
