Can you think of a time when you saw a toddler throwing tantrums in the middle of a mart, or a professor being intolerant than usual or a friend being rude for no reason at all. All of this does not necessarily but many times depict the signs that people are angry. Anger is a natural emotion that we all possess which is characterized by feelings of annoyance, displeasure and antagonism. Psychologists often define anger as a complex state of mind that may have variety of forms. As each and every individual is distinctive from each other, the way they react to things and show anger also differs.

My Journey
If you are reading this right now thank you! You have a heart and I appreciate you taking some time out of your day to read my story and hopefully afterward you might leave feeling more resilient. Anywho let me start off by saying that you have a story too whether you know it or not. It’s our nature to go through things, make mistakes, even feel like we don’t have a purpose here on earth. Well sorry to break it to you, this is your life and the universe or god said let me create something beautiful. So that being said, “Yes” you are worth it and you do have a purpose. Life is hard but I think we all could agree that it’s not impossible unless you quit. I know your not a quitter and you’ll soon one day see what I’m talking about. To better understand what I mean I will map it out for you, the struggles each person experiences is different right? I believe that each of us has certain challenges that are only meant for us. Personally I wish that wasn’t the case but we must struggle first, then learn and become the person we were destined to be. Welcome to my page and thank you for reading the intro to My Journey. The names Bryan and the stories you will be reading is to inspire. If you are feeling alone take a moment and read a little because you are not alone. There’s so much in this world we miss because we don’t take our time to really be heard or depend on only what society has to say. Please stay tuned for part one of My Journey, it really means a lot to me. For the longest time, I have struggled verbally sharing my thoughts so I chose this way of telling my story because since I was about seven, expressing myself through words was difficult. I would start off by having a thought but when trying to say it out loud it just made me agitated. I was originally born with Spanish being my first language which changed once I came here to the United States with my new family. Yes, I was adopted and born in Guatemala, a country located in Central America. I was really excited to come here and start a new and better life, and to tell you the truth I wanted to be an American and have nothing to every do with my home country. I will explain more on these things later on but for right now I’m just giving you a brief gist on what you will be reading. After being adopted I literally thought that I was the last person of my kind. Going back was a fear I had because I really wanted a new and safe place to call home. My grandma who came alongside with my new mom always told me that I wanted to be an American. Now I’m 19 years old and living a better life, but I’m still growing and facing challenges but it’s all part of a story that will have a beautiful ending. Yes, my past was hard but I think I’m learning to accept who I am and how my life came to be. My mom has always tried keeping me in check even through all the hardships and challenges we’ve faced, I’ve faced. I have people who support me but it’s me who needs to help myself, I have lots of faith that I will eventually make it to the other side. You will also make it because your a fighter and you deserve the best things to happen to you. So take a moment after your done and pat yourself on the back for waking up this morning, that’s a sign that you have hope and that is something to be proud of! You can only move forward and remember every single person on this earth has a story. Let’s spread positivity and use the internet in a more beneficial way, what you say friend ready to change the world.

How Taking A Year Out Bought Back My Creative Flare
It’s amazing how academia can destroy creativity. The strain to get the best marks, the time constraints of tight deadlines, the fear of forbidding assessments. Not to mention the fact that for most people, for myself, further education isn’t just a learning curve towards a degree, it’s the time period before employment in which you’re suddenly juggling being an adult.

Big Girl Spring Break
Spring is right around the corner, bringing with it many wonderful things including: warmer weather, longer days, spring rains, and spring break. For many of our older readers Spring break brings back memories of swimming at the beach, wild days and nights partying with good friends, mistakes made, lessons learned, and so many precious memories. For others it brings back memories of being self aware of the extra pounds we gained throughout the holiday season and trying to find ways to hide the extra weight while still having a good time and keeping up with our thinner friends, hiding in pictures in which we were forced to show a little skin, and missing out on opportunities we would have otherwise jumped at and had the time of our lives participating in.for the younger readers.... I truly hope this article helps you to have more fun and make more memories than your fore mothers and fathers.

Conquering Your own Darkness
In the lonely darkness I go in search for something familiar. A friend, a lover or a family member. Someone where I can release the stress I go through. Like a well I fall in wishing to find an escape. I see glimpse of light & think of ways out but at last I never moved. My darkness was always there.

Daughter Inspires Me to Create the Life of My Dreams Through Hard Work and Effort
Success is grueling work. Effort. Repetition. Delayed gratification. We sacrifice now for a theoretical reward in the future. Most of us lack the grit to achieve the life of our dreams.

“Everyone Should Love Themselves”
Upon encountering countless thoughts, Males And Females both pace through thoughts sometimes not at all to every single night. We’re all called horrible, Disgusting, Hateful names every day. We all sometimes know what it feels like to feel bad and yet we make others feel bad, We put others down for who they are and what they like and what they wear and what they do and how they act... We all recieved a body, Not one we got to create one we were given, Not by choice, By life. We all receive genuine glares of hate that could knock us off our feet in an instant and leave us hurting somewhere deeper inside. People would often disagree with the statement that self love means more than real love.. But when you take a good look at it, You cant truly love someone else until you learn to love yourself and that’s the truth. You can’t put love into someone else if you can’t gather up enough love to give to yourself. Self love is so very important and so many people would not agree with that, So many people would say loving someone else is more important. Every single day there are males and females wondering “Am I good enough”? “Is that person better than me?” All because we can’t know our true worth because other people decide “Hey! Let’s make a funny joke about that person!” And even when they think we can’t hear, We do. We always do... But come to think of it, When did other people’s opinions really matter? Why do we care all so much about what other people think? Is it because we can’t dig deep enough to pull out the truth, The truth that lies deep inside our brains but it’s buried too deep into a coffin somewhere way deep down.. But.. What if we could dig up the coffin... Take the time, To bring it out, And open it, Inside a true face of beauty.. Complete and utter beauty, Something that would leave us breathless and something we have never seen before! Where we would find a new part of ourselves, The part called self love where you don’t care what anybody thinks, You know you’re amazing, You know you’re incredible, You know you’re better than all of the hate, And most of all, You know you’re better than all the wannabes who told you down! You know that your worth is something you care about and that your worth is higher than someone’s opinion, So you put on a smile, You laugh with the crowds, You dress as you please, Wear makeup if you please, Show off as you please, Talk as you please, Make friends if you please, Wear a face of complete confidence, If you please. Do whatever makes YOU happy, Not what makes the crowd happy, The crowd doesn’t really matter, When you pass a crowd will you know anybody? Unless it’s your friend group but even then your friends should accept you for being yourself. People may think it’s important to take someone’s opinion over your own but in reality your opinion should matter the most to yourself. Take care of yourself, And know somewhere deep inside your beauty is hidden beneath, And it’s ready to come out whenever you’re ready to let it, Whenever you’re ready to find it within yourself to call yourself beautiful or handsome. Make sure you know your self worth, That you are the best you can be and even if you’re not the best that you can improve anytime you want.

Diving Deeply
I just turned 64. I don't feel 64. In my mind, I feel like I am 18. I was a wife and mother from the time I was 19 until just recently. Of course I was married 3 times, but I kind of just went from one confusing and dysfunctional marriage into another.
