Blogging Is My Friend
Blogging is my friend and has been my friend since 2009. How old was I? I was only thirteen. As a child, it was hard for me to express myself. I was afraid if I end up saying something that either offended them or hurts me back. Was whatever I wanted to say important anyways? If I am happy or sad about something, what good is it to tell another person who has nothing to do with it? Why would anyone want to know whats my favorite color or movie to watch?

You Are Not Alone
You look around and you notice you are not where you had thought you would have been let alone the person you have become. Things that use to make sense no longer do and those who once understood you now look at you like your going to break or blow up any minute. They see you as this fragile being and the irony is that you have never felt stronger. Feeling like for once in your life you know exactly who your are, although you struggle with what you want and what your purpose is you know that whatever it may be is greater than this life. It took a lot of life lessons to get to be the person you are today, a lot of pain, lost, and failure. You may not be where you want to be but at least you are not where you used to be, broken and afraid. There will be times when you will want to give up because that seems so much easier, but I promise in those times if you just keep pushing forward you will not regret it.

Do Better
Maybe you slept in. Maybe you skipped your workout. Maybe you ordered the burger instead of the salad. The bottom line is you messed up and now you're feeling guilty about it. Well, what're you going to do there Einstein build a time machine and travel back and fix your mistakes? As dope as that would be it is also highly unlikely and unrealistic. So what're you actually going to do mope around and feel sorry for yourself? If we're being completely honest that is what most of us are going to do after making a mistake. Trust me. Been there, done that. Countless times nonetheless. But today I'm here to tell you that feeling sorry for yourself is a total waste of time and energy and will actually set you back in achieving your goals.

Multi-Passionate Self-Love
I always claimed to be a “jack of all trades, master of none” … on my good days, I was a little proud of this, but most days it was said with a hint of shame behind the words. I struggled for years believing I was inadequate compared to my friends -- they all seemed to have a thing, a specialty, a niche. I admired a lot of their interests, but I truly believed I couldn’t love the same things as any them. I had a friend who danced, a friend who learned sign language, a few friends who read -- I know, it seems stupid to think "My friends like books, so I can't like books." ... even though I loved reading and read so much as a child. But this is how I truly felt as a teenager! I didn't want to step on anyone's toes -- or worse, try to become knowledgable about something but come across as a fool because my friend was the "expert".

Quitting Nicotine
It all started in 2017, I was outside near the garage and my brother was smoking a cigarette and he exhales and said " Try this, try this you'll love it!" My mind said okay and then I was hooked. My brother and I use to share cigarettes for awhile. A month later, my brother bought me a pack of newport menthol 100s and I hid them in my closet. My mom had no idea what was going on. Until she realized I was going for a lot of walks. When I came back from back from this one last walk, she asked " Why are you going on so many walks?' I nervously told her " Nothing just felt getting some exercise." That was a lie that I needed to cover for awhile. So about like a couple weeks went by she found something suspicious. One day I was out with friends and she went in my room and searched it and saw something. She went straight went into my closet and saw a lighter near my drawer and she looked in a shoe box and there it is, the thing I didn't want her to see and she finally found it. She asked me " So you smoke now just like your brothers?" I replied "Mom, sorry I gave in and and didn't have the power to say no".

Introduction
About the writer: I am a 21 year old college student at the University of Connecticut. Although I am proud of my accomplishments thus far, finishing up my last year in college with the current circumstances of the world has allowed me to take a step back and evaluate myself and those around me. What am I going to do next? How do I get there? When do I start? How do I start? Is it going to work out? It became clear to me that it is not just college students who are asking these questions. So many people have wanted to do things or have wondered if they have the ability to change their own life. There are always excuses- not having enough money, having bad past experiences, not having the confidence, too busy, and the list goes on.

Lightbulb Moment
Lightbulb Moment (Excerpt from my forthcoming book SOUL SEARCH'N) By defining D.A.D. I came to the realization that many people have a form of narcissism; judges, doctors, lawyers, politicians, celebrities, etc. I believe there is a little part of all of us who wants to be the center of attention; who wants to be in control. But even if it’s not narcissism we posses, perhaps, it’s egotism and the mentality that the world revolves around us; that’s the Damon in me, perhaps, in all of us. It’s an all about me attitude to the detriment of everyone around you. A deep selfishness that doesn’t know any other way to exist.
