There is no competition!
In life we all seem to have this way of looking at other peoples lives and comparing their own life to someone elses and its been made easier to do this now because of social media. We scroll through Instagram and see beautiful women with brand deals,who are building their own companys and going on amazing life changing hoildays and wonder how and why that isn't us or guys see other men buliding companys and getting amazingly expensive cars and having the hot girlfriend that everyone dreams off and wonders why it not them. Here's the thing that could be you. It'll take hard work and you'll need to educate yourself on business and investing, there will be bumps in the road and days you wanna give up but you get there but at the end of it all you will realise you were only in competition with yourself, you had to better yourself in order to be the better version and bet your old self at life.

A Summer At Harvard
You never know where life is going to take you. But at the same time, many of us have a certain intuition about where we want to take our lives. In a strange way, everything always seems to happen at just the right time. But we can only ever says such things in hindsight. While the past is set in stone, the future is uncertain, and that's what makes the whole game of living so much fun. Some people describe life as an hourglass with the top half covered. We know how much sand has fallen, but we don't know how much is left—could be a lot, could be a little. For that reason, each of us owes it to ourselves to make the most out of every picosecond we have, because beyond our short lives is a long continuum of time and space. We can't stop the flow of time, but by living wholly in the present, we can chart our own course.

Every step of the way
It has been a long ride so far... There are no words enough to describe this path, while some might call it a winding road, others will call it a difficult path, without forgetting those who call it an unpredictable path. And while I woundn't agree any less with them, I also wont forget those who see it as a learning road, a healing journey and a procress that lead to a greater outcome.

Open Letter to Readers
Hi! That seems like a good enough way to start. And while I'm at it, happy Non-Binary Visibility Day! Just to give some idea of who I am right away; I'm a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I fully support Black Lives Matter and I am educating myself daily on how to remain anti-racist, and I wear a mask out in public. I'm also a Sagittarius, a dog-lover and a vegetarian. I'm learning Gaelic on Duolingo and I love to read. And I hope you are staying safe in these chaotic times. We are all trying our best aren't we? I am fresh out of college and about as confused about my next steps as I could possibly be. I feel like the two roads diverging in the wood for me are currently shrouded in fog--or maybe smoke, because the woods are currently on fire. It was different when I graduated high school. I didn't have a clue what I was going to do then either, but there didn't feel like there was as much of an urgency. I had picked out a college, so I could satisfy any family member hungering to know what my 'next steps' were. I even knew what I would be studying, and had visited Iowa City, so I could talk a little bit about the campus area over dessert. I still have theoretical 'next steps' now. I would like more than anything to become an actual writer; a screenwriter with several passable films to my name. I'd like to move out to Los Angeles and establish myself. I'd like to own a dog (the cute pup in my profile picture is Tucker, my parents' Maltese). I'd like to meet a beautiful, passionate woman to spend my life with. But currently, I am in an intermission in my life; or a filler episode on the "Addy" TV show. I'm sure viewers at home would be quite bored to watch this episode as it aired, but as the titular character, I can assure you this is all quite stressful. In the writers' room, I'm staring at a blank page on Microsoft Word, the cursor blinking mockingly. Where does the story go from here, big authoress? Well, I suppose the story should at first exist. My writing has suffered as I have anxiously tried to anticipate my future. I've avoided the blank page like a horse avoids a snake; like I was expecting my laptop to slam itself shut on my unsuspecting fingers the instant I started to type. Turns out...that's not the case! I've almost finished this introduction, and there has not even been a momentary lapse of stability. All this to say, I don't know. This is a moment of immense flux for our whole world, and my own personal life is only a microcosm of the cultural shift to come. And I guess I'm here. I'm here and I see it all happening and I'm watching it with you. And I express myself best in writing. So keep tuning in, and hopefully you have some fun along the way!

Challenge Accepted
I once thought as a lot of you do. When a disaster, challenge, or some personal distress happened to me, I gritted my teeth, balled up my fists, and stuck it out. When I reached the other side of the problem, I heaved a sigh of relief and got on with it. The problem, challenge, or disaster was shoved into the back of my mind.

Trick Yourself Into Doing Anything.
I used to be in a job back in those days, it was a position that I worked my butt off obtaining and I really thought once I got to manage my own office that my workload would decrease that I would be making way more money and that I would be happier but I was dead wrong because after being handed the office.

Morning Routine Upside Down
Good Morning/ Good Night America, what a beautiful new day or in my case night. While everyone is saying good morning, I told good night, as you can see my life, it is upside down or backward? It is up to you how do you want to call it. I have two jobs, and I am two months away from finishing College. What this has to do with this story? Well, I work nighttime, so when everyone is waking up, I am going to sleep, simple as that. My morning will be in the afternoon. I would say around 2 pm. I wake up, check my phone for messages. In Social media, emails, WhatsApp messages, text messages, etc. After that I jump in the shower, take a nice hot shower, I am not too fond of cold showers. After bathing I brush my teeth, dry my hair (very important), you have to look your best. And your hair is like a picture frame. It has to be perfect. In my opinion!

A Simple Formula To Be Successful
Entrepreneur Andrew Warner, in his 20s, created a business that ended up earning more than $30 million of revenue per year, setting him up with enough money to do whatever he wanted for the rest of his life. However, not satisfied with the money, Warner founded Mixergy, an organization dedicated to helping entrepreneurs get their startups off the ground. A perfect example of how success enabled him to help other visionaries achieve their goals — and while the money helped him accomplish that mission, it was only a means to an end.

Why do People Listen to Podcasts?
I remember I started listening to podcasts in 2018 for the storytelling aspect of it. Little did I know that it would soon become more than just a source of entertainment. Podcasts are quickly transforming into a popular medium where anyone with a story can share their KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCES and hundreds or thousands of people could listen. However, there are a few that stand out from the rest in measure of not just how entertaining they are, but how informative and educative they can be. They possess such innate authencity in their dialogues that they have a way of leaving you feeling somehow inspired after you’ve listened. So here are a few podcasts that I’ve found most elevating, educative, and still ultimately entertaining in this lockdown period. In no particular order…
