Just Another Day at the Office
From a young age, we are often asked what it is we want to be when we grow up. As innocent and sometimes funny as that question might be, it is not always an easy one to answer, especially when you're not 5. Here I am, 20 years old, not in school, working my ass off to make my rent every month, and I have no idea were I'm going next. As much as it is great to plan for the future; in reality that detailed step by step plan is going to go exactly *well* to plan. That's okay. Life happens, shit happens, you fall in and out of love, and you live.

The Value of You
I know what you're thinking, another self-help article about feeling better, about being better. Wrong. I would never lecture somebody about their life, I'm just here to put in my two cents in and hopefully someone turns it into a million. How many times have you sat at home and swore to yourself that tomorrow was going to be the day? Tomorrow I'm going to do this, tomorrow I'm going to change that. I've been there, trust me I'm with you buddy. I hate to break it to you, but you might be dead tomorrow. That's not a threat, I'm just saying. How many times have you come home from a stressful day and thrown yourself directly into additional responsibilities? I'm active duty military with a wife and a two-year-old and sorry if you're reading this babe, but I'm going to say it. When I come home I give myself 20 to 30 minutes, sometimes even an hour to decompress. In that time, I am on my own, just me in my own thoughts, I do what I want and it has changed my life ever since I started the habit.

Tips for the People Who Just Do Too Much
Listen, some of us are the kings and queens of overloading our mental capacity. We work full-time, some of us go to college, we have significant others, and let's be honest, everyone wants just a little bit of a social life.

Reasons Millennials Are Under Incredible Pressure
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t struggling lately. Emotionally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, I’m exhausted. Everything I’ve been going through the past year, makes it really easy to just give in to all my insecurities and just hide away from the world. Those are the days I’ve found it’s THE MOST important to get up and prove to the world I’m not so easily defeated. You're allowed to cry, you're allowed to scream, you're allowed to feel insecure, just don’t give up.

Don't Think. Just DO
Never have I ever had this mentality. I have always heard it from successful people but never took this saying to heart. Don't think. Just do. I started KeemZtv right at the beginning of 2018. I dont know how it came to me but it just did. I had been trying to find myself for many years, but could never get to the point of doing what it was that I wanted to do. Thoughts would always flash in my head of being someone who had it all figured out. The successful confident charismatic just all around great guy taking on the world. Negativity would always darken those flashes as quickly as they came. I was in a dark hole and wanted to be out, but didn't know how.
