You Before Me
To my fellow struggling angels. You know who you are, the one who helps others out simply because it feels like you should do it or that it’s the right thing. You don’t do it for the gratitude of others, or their thanks and you don’t want anything from them, although your efforts being noticed is always nice. You’re those people others call selfless or angels, because you are always their when someone needs you.

The Meaning of Hope
Hope... such a small word, holding such great value. I remember the times where I had NO.....Hope I know Im, not the only one who has felt this way or a better way of saying it is "lack of feeling". The times where it's just an empty hole in your chest, a void where all dreams go to die. Nothing good ever comes from this deep darkness, only negative feelings are felt through NOT having this ONE feeling.

Waking Up Earlier
Good Morning Beautifuls, It is 8:05 am PST. I've been awake for almost 45 minutes and only decided to start my day now. Why? Well, I wanna start new habits. My habit of waking up earlier has definitely improved though I would say. I would get up at 8:30 usually and scroll through Instagram until noon. But not anymore, I want to start building new productive habits. My goal is to start my day at 7, and slowly, but surely, I am getting there.

Don't Be Fooled
There will be several times in our life, when we will enter periods of trial and adversity, so crushing and debilitating, that it will take us to the greatest of depths of emotional pain, hurt, and misery. We will feel like the world is caving in on us, that circumstances are continually going against us, and anything we do seems to just continually result in failure. No one is exempt, including the positive minded, the successful, and the wealthy, as unfortunately, life will always deliver both the good times, and bad, to all of us. What matters, is how we deal with it. There can be a multitude of triggers for entering into such dark periods of our life, such as a relationship/marital split, a chronic health issue, the prospect of bankruptcy, a failing business, the death of a loved one/loved ones, losing one's job, work stress and pressure, or maybe even something as simple as the continual failing in the pursuit of our goals. Whatever the circumstances, it's common for other areas of our life to come crashing down at the same time, hence why we are taken to the greatest of depths. So it's a given, we all face adversity, hardships, trials, and tribulations. None of us like these times, they are soul destroying and mentally scarring. On a positive note however, many people have drawn on their resilience, their courage, their strength, and their will power, to not only overcome these dour circumstances, but have used them as inspiration to catapult them to success in life. Sometimes, it takes us to endure great suffering, adversity, pain, rejection, depression, and failure, in order for us to make a positive change in our life, to discover ourselves, or to perhaps discover our purpose. One thing is for sure, each time we find our way through such difficult times, we gain so much strength and development in the process.

Thoughts
Hello subscribers! My first posting to vocal was a short and completely untrue crime story. I had so much fun writing it and really would love to compose a full version. I actually have stories I've started and saved in my google docs, some in need of editing, some needing to be continued, I have always since I can remember, had a passion for stories. When I was between 10 and 14 I was known among my friends to vanish for days, weeks, and sometimes even months! Eventually, they realized I could be found at our local library hidden for hours in vast piles of books, mostly of paranormal quality. The spooky, unknown has always been my personal favorite. I have had experiences with the paranormal since I was a young girl, at some point, I cut myself off from the experiences due to other people's beliefs. Recently over the last few years, I've learned a lot, and taken back what I love. This year, I am doing me. I am finding ways to do what I love, and in doing so, I've gained a lot. Maybe not money, but I have gained insight, love, insperation and a foundation that although may be odd by others account, is infact me. No one can live my life for me, and it's the same for you too!

Happy Dance
The first time I had ever gone swing dancing was with my older sister and her friends. I was still in high school and they were all in college, so I felt pretty out of place to say the least. She "taught" me the basic steps just twenty minutes before heading over to Princeton, where the social dance was happening. Talk about two left feet...

Having Faith Even When It Looks Like It Won't Happen In Time
Seeds of doubt. Real. Raw. Looming. Doubt is a natural, intuitive, sometimes-inevitable experience of the human psyche. When we set goals for ourselves and/or visions of the future, oftentimes (well, more often than not, in my experience), a few seeds of doubt creep in and we find ourselves questioning whether or not we really ARE capable of achieving the vision we've set out in front of us.
