Survival
This is not a novel or a story or anything remotely what people expect. After 4 years of watching the world pretend it was not burning, sometimes literally, the idea that we can move forward and grow and make the world a better place is delicious and tantalizing, calling to all of us to move forward and upward together. We can go high now, with no one actively encouraging people to go low and listen to their baser instincts.

Why I'm Starting A Blog?
This post has been edited and taken from my website, if you want more content head over there! For those who don’t know me very well, my name is Connor McCorkindale, I’m a 23 year old musician and now I’m a blogger! For those who do know me, I’m sure this is the last project you would imagine me starting, truth be told, I’m a little surprised myself. I have never seen myself as much of an outspoken person, I tend to keep most of my opinions to myself, being a vegan teaches you the skill of choosing when to voice your thoughts! Lately though, I’ve discovered a more creative side to myself, a more focused side.

A Fresh start
Life is so strange, isn't it? Sometimes we are calm, and sometimes we are on a roller coaster. Some days we are sad, and hopeless...other days we are strong and motivated. I graduated from high school in 2015, one would think that graduation is such an important event, and it is! However, I was depressed. At the time I thought "sure, I graduated. But what am I to do with my life?" It was such an intense question, I was only seven-teen. I knew nothing about life, my mother had sheltered me to a point where I could not be independent. I had border-line anxiety and depression, crowds were such an issue. It felt like everyone was staring at me and judging, how could I ever survive as an adult? All I wanted to do was disappear for good. I lived with a toxic family, they were constantly yelling at me and at each other. Despite my mother having good intentions, she took her anger out on both my younger sister and myself. When I had tried to explain to the better side of my family about my anxiety, they told me that it was all in my head. I felt insane. But was I really? Over the next few years I changed very slowly. I met new people, who were older than I, but understood my situation and took me under their wing. After a long thread of repeated habits and mistakes, repeated lessons and broken friendships due to my own toxicity, I truly decided it was time for change. I decided that I needed a FRESH START. The year 2020 gave me so many wake up calls, and this new year would be the game changer. I noticed I went from being a kind and gentle person, to a person who had attitude and was almost always angry. So, I've decided that my new years resolution would be to become a better person, always. I am choosing to be a better person than I was years back, better than I was a few years ago, and better than I was yesterday. I am human, I make mistakes. We ALL do. Another resolution I have chosen is to never stay at war with myself. Life is about learning and growing, the best way you can. My new years resolution is to LOVE myself, truly and unconditionally. I did not have that self-love back then, I'm glad I do now. I am a beautiful human being that is still learning and growing, and that is okay. It is okay to still be a work in progress, and yet be a masterpiece. Nothing will ever bring me back down into the whole I was in, not even my own doubts. I am finally ready to move onto the next chapter in my life, I'm ready to embrace the good and the bad.

Goals For The New Year
This year I aim to be both mentally and physically better than I’ve ever been before. Last year was not only a rough year for me (due to personal reasons as well), but I am sure it has been difficult for everyone else, especially due to covid. Many people have lost their motivation to do so many things they used to do and I am definitely one of them. So, to offset that overwhelming and dark year, I plan to better myself in both mental and physical aspects.

Fresh start 2021
To say 2020 was difficult, would be the largest understatement of all time. Mentally, emotionally, physically and financially 2020 was incredibly taxing. No pun intended. Sadly we are not out of the woods just yet. However; let's focus on moving forward. And let's try to learn from this year to improve for the years to come.

Success: You Have to Make It Happen!
I moved to Arizona in 2011 with four of my five children as my oldest had already established a home back east. I was recently divorced and when I moved to Southern Arizona and the only known in my life was that I had my savings, my kids, and the home I had rented.

A New Year, For a Better Me
Kicking off the new year with a lot more responsibilities for others needs than my own, as well with many more health resolutions. Kicking bad habits, the I can'ts, the I want out. Replacing them with more positive thinking, self discipline, healthier regimes, I cans, and I will have in. Though the days are long and I wish I had at least one day of the week I could sleep in consideration I do not make a salary as one would doing what I do, always being grateful and reminding myself of everything there is to be grateful for. Even though I need my beauty sleep so I can feel like myself.

Indulge the Mind
Always starting off the new year with the classic "New Year; New Me" becomes more overwhelming as the years goes on. Trying different hobbies and looking at ways to continuously improve myself, only to stop two weeks into a new endeavor to never pick it back up again. The tiniest spark of interest catches flame, but quickly extinguishes after the hobby becomes a chore. "Not this time," I'm constantly telling myself, but something will happen or other interests would distract me from fully becoming indulged in just one hobby. Although, after a year of learning about myself and discovering why I'm constantly searching for something to preoccupy my time with, I found that it's okay to not stick to just one thing. Growing with my surroundings to find new ways to express myself, regardless of how many different ways I attempt, plants the seed to finding my passion.

What Resolution Really Means
Resolution. We throw this word around so often without really realizing the real meaning behind it. So many people use this word to change something they don’t like about themselves. According to the dictionary, there are six different definitions of this word. This will be a dissection of the different meanings of the word resolution and how they intertwine with each other to make having resolutions work for you. I will then share with you what my resolution is.
