How Zumba Changed My Life
Let me tell you a little bit about myself, I am asthmatic and far from being the most athletic person, in fact, I lose my breath if I try to run to the dumpster to throw out my trash. I enjoy watching shows and movies, reading books, and am generally someone who enjoys being “cozy” over going to the gym. Despite all of this, I fell in love with Zumba! Yes I know what you’re thinking, the colourful leggings and Latin inspired music and dancing, the cult like following, there is a reason for it! And hey, wouldn’t we all love to rock something that bold?

Live More, Love Harder
They say that love is what makes the world go 'round. It's what motivates us and gives us purpose. We need love to thrive, it's a natural instinct. Places, people, hobbies, items, there are so many things that we all love. What do you love? What places, people, things, hobbies, etc. give you joy? What does love mean to you? In this challenge I will be showing you a picture, video, and social media account that I love. I hope that it can spread some love and joy to you as well, maybe you will learn to love these three things as much as I do.

A Mother's Love
I think it goes without saying that most of us have a woman close to us that we look up to, for me, that's my mother. I know that sounds like a typical answer but I did not live a typical life, and without my mother's love and commitment to me, I might not have been alive right now.

What I Learned From Writing Poetry
I'd like to say that I decided to write just as a passion, as a way to spend my spare time, to learn a new skill. But, the truth is, that's not the case. I started writing as a therapy to myself. This became my way to make sense of what I was feeling—as a way to cope, to put my struggles behind me.

Life Gets Worse When It's at Its Best
Some say nothing is worse than the death of a loved one, or the death of a relationship. Either is an almost unbearable loss of something, and someone that you cared a lot for. Memories are all that's left and they can be triggered by a photograph, a piece of art, a taste, or a scent. It's easy to understand why loss is so painful. Others say fear and abuse are the most painful. To live in a state of fear or hostility, there are so many horrible things, and a bittersweet realization is, it can always get better, and it can always get worse.
