You Should Always Carry a (Good) Pen With You
Lighters, chapstick, hot sauce, pocket knives, and lucky coins. These are fairly common things I hear people bringing with them on a daily basis. Adding to the everyday carry list, I've seen people carrying small mirrors, handkerchiefs, make-up, and of course guns. (at least here in Texas.) Everyone leads different lives so the needs will vary per individual.

I Wrote Two Poetry Books. 13 Years Later, They Are Sealed Away.
Poetry. The language of the universe. Almost 13 years ago, I began putting together my very first book. Fueled by all of the perceived “injustice” of the world around me, I felt as if I was a walking cliche for the longest time. Just another troubled, lovesick young man; looking for anything to grip to, and begin my own misadventures in… Poetry. Of ALL genres, right? I know.

Reckless, Irresponsible, Fearless Love
Let’s say you wake up one morning and get all ready to meet a friend for some brunch. You’re looking your best, grab your keys, check for your wallet and phone, and then you’re out the door. With every step taken, you marvel at the way the weather is making you feel.

Stop Calling It "Cheese Pizza"
I think I had just about enough of this for one lifetime. First of all, I’m not the biggest fan of dairy as opposed to every person I’ve ever met. I’m not 100% against it but I can safely say it’s approximately 99.97%. For the most part, the thought of it alone makes my blood curdle and gives me stinky foot vibes. Gross.

Do You Suck At Forgiving?
Pain. A great teacher but a terrible master. I come across many references such as “pain is inevitable, suffering is optional” or “no pain, no gain” rather often. This happens online or it could be just in casual conversation. Of all the phrases out there, one of them catches my attention more than the rest. Probably because I'm finding myself in situations that call for it quite a bit.

Social Media or Look At Me-dia?
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, your online presence seldom has anything to do with who you are in real life. You’d think this is a simple concept to grasp. However, it seems that this particular issue of mistaken e-dentity is getting a little out of hand.

Seeking Fulfillment: Acknowledgement, Engagement, and Preciousness
I've spoken many times about dealing with personal stress and unforeseen circumstances in and out of the workplace, dealing with them while in the presence of others, while you're by yourself, and in many other scenarios. Two days ago I got the opportunity to sit down and listen to a few of my peers talk about some of the things that were weighing on their mind like ongoing illnesses, emotional distress or having to leave family and children nearly every day to do what they loved to do for a living; despite all of these difficulties. Our initial exchange dealt with these and also being able to identify the real motivation behind their actions. In doing so and detailing our perspectives, I learned that many of them, if not all, had a misconception about the power of acknowledgement.

3 Simple Steps to Better Interactions
Working in communications has taught me a lot about how people interact in just about every place and every situation in the world. It's fascinating to see how someone from one region of the world or a particular socioeconomic status engages with someone from a completely different one. Everything from eye contact to the amount of words exchanged can totally differ. Some might be more soft spoken, while others very engaged and dominant in the exchange. After countless interactions and connections I made with people regardless of age, title, level of education and cultural background, I've been able to identify 3 basic things that play a huge role in virtually every interaction you'll make.
