My Ugly Garden
I’d rather have an ugly garden than a barren one. To be fair, it’s much easier to have a barren garden. It’s easier to just uproot the weeds than to till the soil, plant the seeds, water every day, and wait for results. There are too many small decisions to make when the garden is barren that it is easier left alone. You can’t make an ugly garden if it’s still bare.

Consistency, consistency, constancy
Something I have always struggled with is consistency. Building lasting habits and follow-through in my life. Whether it comes to exercise, writing, or self-care, it seems that every time, my self-discipline lasts for a week, a month if I’m lucky, before everything falls of the rails once more and I’m thrown back to square one.

Your Superpower
One of the greatest fantasy questions in life that we may be asked of, is "what one superpower would we love to possess in life, if it were reality?" From the array of films and fictional characters, there are so many of these superpowers we would ultimately love to possess, so it makes it a hard question to narrow it down just to that prized one. Would we want the capability of being able to fly? Would we want the capability of being invisible? Would we want the capability of possessing superhuman strength? Would we want the capability of being able to hear other people's thoughts, or read other people's minds? Would we want the capability to time travel? I could keep going on and on listing the many superpowers there are, and boy would it be awesome if this fantasy could actually be turned into reality, or what? Sadly for us, it's just that though, fantasy. Although, having said that, we actually do all possess a superpower, and the funny thing is, many of us don't even know we possess it. These may not be superpowers that give us the ability to fly, be invisible, or travel through time, but they are gifts that we possess within us, which stand us out from other people, and highlight our uniqueness. We can do things, achieve things, perform things, or understand things, better than most other people can. We perhaps may even be able to transfer our experiences of the past, into revelations of the future. In fact, some of the greatest superpowers even lie within our characteristics, behavior, and attitude.

Why You Can (Almost) Never Read Too Many Books
You can’t win. No matter who you talk to, you’re going to hear that (a) you’re not reading enough books, (b) you’re not reading enough of the “right” books, you’re reading too MANY books, or (c) you’re reading too many of the “wrong” books…and every position in between.

2020 In A Wrap
Depression tears down the mind. Down and Out Have you ever been so down that you just don't know what to do next? I definitely have and am going through that right now. With the last year being a crazy roller coaster brought about by Covid-19 and the lack of employment, most of us don't know what we are going to do. Where we are going next? How to pay the bills? It is a never ending questions that many of us have received the taste of lately and it is a very bitter one. I've watch so many good people fall at the hands of uncertainty and a lack of job security. Mentally and financially people are struggling to make way and to provide for their family. What can someone do? What would you do?

Celebrate Being Single
Didn't get any Valentine's gifts or messages yesterday, huh? The hopes you held that someone whom you really admire, or that hope of a gorgeous looking mystery person who secretly admires you from a distance, or that hope that the partner who recently left you, yet whom you are still deeply in love with, any of these would've possibly used yesterday as the perfect opportunity to offer you their heart, sweep you off your feet, guide you into a wonderful relationship, and help you rediscover love once again, all completely dashed. Here you are, yet again, on a Monday morning, feeling sad, lonely, rejected, unloved, and depressed, having had to endure another Valentine's Day without a loving, dedicated, caring, faithful, and supportive, partner by your side. All you want is to be loved by that one special person, to rediscover that warm and reassuring feeling of being touched, kissed, and cuddled. You look around and see all your friends with partners, all these other people on social media sharing their pictures of themselves and their partner kissing, enjoying eachother's company, and having all sorts of great fun together. Life and love are just completely unjust and unfair, hey? To be loved, appreciated, treasured, supported, and truly cared for, is one of the best feelings we could ever experience in life, I can't deny that. When in a relationship, knowing that someone is there by our side, accepting us for who we are, faults, blemishes, bad habits, and all, it's pretty special. Even just that feeling of someone pressing their tender lips up against ours, kissing us with pure love in their heart, or even just that warm embrace of a hug, it's magical. For some of us, we just cannot handle the thought of not being in a relationship, we just have to experience those feelings I mention above, and we just simply have to have that special someone by our side.

In Times of Stress
In times of stress we feel flustered, anxious, like the world around us is unraveling, and we cannot keep up. This was my world up until three years ago. In my mid forties I was working 7 days a week, 5 days I worked 8.5 hours, and the other two I worked 18 hours. There were times I thought I was just going to drop. When I was going through the craziness of exhaustion there were other parts of my life that were even worse. Just because you are tired problems do not stop. Instead the opposite. Life just kept getting harder, and I was like a suction cup to problems.
