The Voice in Darkness
One early morning I was browsing through Instagram when I came across a post that tagged Diana Watley. I decided to go to her page and see what she was about. Little did I know that one click, that one selection would cause a ripple effect in my life. The strength and sincerity that came through the speakers of my phone caused me to pause and actively and intentionally listen to the words flowing forth. I felt inspired, challenged and hungry for more of what I was hearing.

My Life of three questions
I woke up this morning, wondering what I should achieve in my life, what abilities I have that I might discover. I guess this is a start of something new. I am about to share to the whole world, that we can change things around for something good. Many people in my life always ask this question: what’s your skills, what are your desires to be in the future, what is the negative life that can turn it around to something good? Well I still trying to find out those questions to an answer. Everyone wonders what makes them happen of who they become and finding out their abilities.

JUST STOP, OKAY? IT HURTS A LOT!
We all have been in a situation where we can't handle it anymore. We humans, can’t handle pain anymore. Some people don't know how much pain we have in our lives. In our hearts. In our minds. You just want to keep hurting people with words. You don't realize the pain you are causing other people. Please stop with this at once! You, yes you, you are no one to be judging people how to live their life. Or how to dress. You are nobody to judge. Most of us like to say hateful comments not knowing if they do or not hurt the person receiving it. Let me just ask you one question, why would you even say words like this to another person? You don't know how they are living their life. You don't know if they are struggling in life. You don’t know if they have a proper meal to eat. You don’t know if they have enough food of water to survive. You judge on the outside. You never see a person on the inside. Whenever you see this you are probably saying to yourself in your mind “I wouldn’t want to be with that person because he looks poor” What if they are struggling with financial problems? No! you just want to judge. You are just hurting them instead of trying to help them. Trying to make them feel better. Like they do belong here. You don't know how they are getting treated at home.

Un-Becoming
Quarantine Day Umpteen: It was just another Monday. Well, not your typical Monday. Unless your typical Monday includes an executive stay-at-home order from your governor because of a global pandemic. I sat at home scrolling on the Facebook (yes, THE Facebook) like the rest of my fellow detainees. Someone tagged me to a status with a hilarious joke and, instantly, I got an idea: What if I made this hypothetical joke a reality? So I staged a joke Facebook Live concert poking fun at the great Ms. Lauryn Hill's notorious tardiness. (I'm honestly a huge fan and I hope that she finds it humorous if she ever finds out about it.) With a hat, a mic stand, a guitar, and absolute silence I garnered approximately 4.8K viewers within about 2 hours. And while going somewhat viral is quite an experience, I was overwhelmed with the fact that, for the first time in a long time, I had just gone with a gut feeling without question. Sure, it may not sound like a monumental moment to you all. All I did was set up some props and leave my laptop idle for a few hours, right? On the surface, that may be. But this moment signified a breakthrough that was 20-some-odd years in the making.
