Challenges = Growth
Everyday can be a grind. Throw in social pressures and complicated relationships; I’m no longer surprised with why a lot of people are imbalanced, especially in Toronto. After spending too many years in an abusive relationship and working in a toxic fashion industry my brain broke; my heart was broken. I was so sure about everything in my life and now I had to pick up the broken pieces of myself and start over. The older you get the harder it is to let go and reinvent. I found that it wasn’t about fixing something that’s broken, it’s about growing into something new. I thought I knew who I was but I had to let that go. So now what? I realized that I was stifled from growth because of my ex. When I left that relationship the amount of growth I went through was dramatic. I decide with little to no planning to go on stress leave; I booked a flight to Bali and left Toronto.

Being a victim of homophobia as a kid
Whenever I have an anxiety attack, the first thing I do is to sit at the corner of my dark room and take the time to reflect on the reasons behind it. I question myself, my past and what lead me to this completely messed up state. I look at my past and the image of a terrified and shy kid comes to my mind.

what I've been doing and miss during quarantine.
Before the world was ending, at the very beginnig of the Covid-19 Pandemic, life was busy. For me, I was just a high school senior sitting in social class being told of a virus that seemed so far away in a land I didn't know much about. Then it was everywhere. It is everywhere. The world has been pushed into isolation, into spare time, into patience.

The Winning Attitude
Confronting and Overcoming Challenges! It is a challenge to succeed. If it were not, I'm sure more people would be successful, but for every person who is enjoying the fruit from the tree of success, many more are examining the roots. They are trying to figure it all out. They are mystified and perplexed by what seems to be some strange, complex, and elusive secret that must be found if ever success is to be enjoyed. While most people spend their lives struggling to earn a living, a much smaller group is busily engaged in designing and enjoying a fortune. Everything just seems to work out for them. While the much larger group sits in awe at how life can be so unfair, complicated, and unjust. "I'm a nice person", the man says to himself. "How come this other guy is happy and prosperous, and I'm always struggling?", he asks himself. "I'm a good husband, a good father, and a good worker. How come nothing seems to work out for me? Life just isn't fair. I'm even smarter and willing to work harder than some of these other people who just seem to have everything go their way", as he slumps into the sofa to watch another evening of television. But you see, you've got to be more than a good person and a good worker. You've got to become a good planner, and a good dreamer. You've got to see the future finished in advance.

How to Get Rich Faster
To begin with, I deem it appropriate to address the issue that we all are facing as a global community; the well-known pandemic COVID -19. The disease has affected over 550k people worldwide and has claimed 27k lives. Just the figures should ring the bells if you have yet not taken this seriously. Today, it is more important than ever to be cautious and take the utmost care to stay safe.

What to Write First?
This may sound counterintuitive, but I actually started the idea of tips for writers on my very first visit to the Vocal website. I had little idea where to start, what people would find interesting, and if I was even any good at this whole writing thing. And then it hit me. Someday when my fingers ache from typing, eyes burn from the bright glare of the screen, and stomach growls from the neglect of writing excitement, I will look back to this moment. The beginning. Not really the beginning of all of my writing, but just maybe the most important. What is it I would tell that girl eagerly wanting to begin?

Say Something!
Imagine how many times a day you let opportunities to use your voice pass you by. You justify silence as being polite, not wanting to make waves, you wonder, "is what you're about to say better than silence?" (quoting Scot Moldenhauer), afraid of what others might think, or you can feel that no one wants to hear it.
