Dream Big
Do you remember being a kid? Times were uncomplicated and straightforward. Stray thoughts would drift through your mind like a refreshing summer breeze. These thoughts consisted of friendship, young love, and spectacular dreams for "when you were old enough to chase them". That actually meant when you could drive. Yet, now when you look back on those dreams, you label them as “irrational” or “unrealistic”. What happened?

Cultivation
Cultivation doesn't start when the weeds start growing; it starts when you prepare the seedbed or planting area for your vegetables or flowers. You'll need various hoes, cultivators, spades, and digging forks to create a good seedbed. (https://garden.org/learn/articles/view/2447/)

Time Is Ticking By
What if you only had twelve hours left? What if you knew that your time was coming to an end? What would you do? What if it wasn’t even your time on this earth coming to an end, but your time with someone?

Clowns and Men
Like most children, I have a monster under the bed. (I say "have" because they still unnerve me to this day.) My monster under the bed is the simple Clown. There is really no story to this fear, no trauma as a child to talk about. I just started to fear them. My father's first gift to me was a porcelain clown. When the Clown Craze in 2016 occurred it was my worst nightmare in real life and it didn't help that I found out from my father while at the mall parking lot at 9 PM. And with the remake of IT late last year, I wasn't having any of it. Just looking up the dates of the clown sightings I got uneasy with the clown pictures that popped up with the articles.

You're Not Shit. Society Is.
Before you think you might have a mental illness, read this. So you've noticed that you're not quite feeling yourself lately. Maybe you can't focus on anything, enjoy the things you once did, sleep or eat as well... perhaps you might be thinking that there's something wrong with you. There could very well be, but before you come to this conclusion, there's something everyone needs to look at.

Life as We See It
When someone tells us to live the way we want our lives to be in the future, somewhere in between the struggle and stress of making our future life to be the way we fantasize, we forget about our "NOW".

Five Controversial Things I Wish I Knew at 15
So I recently wrote a post called "Five Things I Wish I Knew at Fifteen," all but few were surprising, common sense perhaps with a few twists, however I wanted this post to highlight things we feel we probably shouldn’t do at fifteen but are actually just a part of growing up, so here it goes.

Five Things You Wish You Knew at 15
I think it is easy to forget how hard it is to be young. As we get older, we tend to look at the younger generation with envy. Oh to be young again where things such as bills and jobs were nonexistent in our teenage world. Adolescence is like a bad relationship; after awhile we forget the bad and tend to only remember the good times that make us want it back once again. So much so that we almost forget the emotional turmoil that comes with growing up. Our teen years are often one of the most difficult times any of us will go through. High school can either make you or break you.

Time Well Spent
Time is perhaps our most important resource because it is, for each of us, painfully limited. We have to divide it carefully between work, sleep, and play. One thing I have neglected to mention is volunteering.

Hello, World... Remember Me?
In life, we are given many challenges, many obstacles to overcome and surpass. Some give us joy while others give us great success. I believe, like most people, that one of the biggest challenges can be how to deal with the pain and aftermath of a broken heart.

Here are a few things I like to do that get me up and productive in the early hours of the day.

It Gets Better, I Promise
I spent a lot of my time throughout college and the following summer wondering what would happen to all those I considered my friends at college and whether I would see them again after leaving. My simple answer is that I failed to keep in touch with many of them, due to my own insecurities about starting conversations over Facebook or Whatsapp or text. Eventually, I even stopped talking to the people I spoke to every day. It hurt a lot to think I'd lost all those connections.
