In 1997, my sister, my mom, and I left our home island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines to be reunited with my dad after fourteen years. We left the island with broad smiles, hearts full of hope, and suitcases filled with dreams.

Productivity and Efficiency are the two most crucial parameters in achieving your goals. Having goals provide you with a sense of direction and inner desire to make something massive. When you are crystal clear about the goals you want to achieve and have inscribed a detailed plan achieving it, you are more likely to succeed. But setting goals doesn't deserve a successful outcome; you must also be action-oriented. Without action, nothing will work.

The start of 2020 was the first year in a while that I truly felt as if everything was going to be okay. I couldn't have been more wrong.

No-one can promise you that a certain book or a certain YouTube video will bring drastic change to your life. Changing your lifestyle or getting rid of a bad habit completely depends on your mindset and your willpower.

34 Year Old Woman With A Life Crisis

How many people do you believe lied to you when you asked for directions to a specific location? The common answer would probably be the question of why someone would lie about directions in the first place. It's wise to keep thinking that way, but let's explore the hypotheticals. Say the right way was always left, but out of confusion or some other decision, someone told you "go right at the stop sign, you can't miss it". You don't "know" the right answers the first time around, and you're kind of forced to go and "find out the truth" for yourself. Now under normal circumstances, you end up getting more lost and you ask again, this time getting more details and landmarks to seek to ensure you don't get lost again. Now imagine you haven't left your bedroom yet. Who do you think you were talking to?

I am mad.

Hi,I’m Shania. Let me start by saying I’m very excited to start sharing some of my stories with all of you. I heard about Vocal through Facebook and I thought I would be a great Opportunity for me to share some of my posts,interests,likes and dislikes and maybe some “feeling of the day” kind of stories/posts. My background? I am very photogenic,I love to be out and about everyday, and I am COMPLETELY in love with entertainment. Singing,dancing,acting. Anything that’ll make me feel free, and make me feel like I can let go for just a moment. I love theatre,especially musicals and broadway. I mostly love to sing,though. Music has always been my most favorite passion. It’s like the love of my life. I started singing when I was 3 years old and I haven’t stopped since then. I’ve always felt this strong, and amazing connection with music. I guess I could say music and I hit it off the bat the moment we met. Every genre, every instrument, every lyric,every word, every song, they all made me feel like I was in different places and I felt like a different person everytime. I would feel like a cowgirl, a burlesque dancer,a gypsy dancer, the belle of the ball,a soul train dancer. Anything I listen to makes me feel like any type of dancer. Of course there are songs I don’t like,but I just really enjoy music and listening to different songs every once in a while (we all get tired of the same old same old sometimes,let’s be honest). Yes,I’ve had haters,but that didn’t stop me not one bit. And I’m not gonna stop even if the hate came harder. Because,when you have ambition and strong love for something, that conquers all.And I want to be able to express that with you all through My Vocal. Other interesting facts about moi? My favorite color is blue, favorite food is pasta. Favorite hobbies? Well,besides entertainment,swimming,tennis, and writing poetry and stories. Having Creativity with a creative mind is awesome,even when all you need is a pen and some paper. Or music and a microphone. I think it’s great to embrace your own creativity. Nobody should have to hide it. I mean,forget what others say,right? Your talent is your talent. Be proud of it. Be grateful for it. When I heard about Vocal,I thought it was interesting for me. I mean,I have Facebook and Instagram and,sure you can express yourself on them too,but I just thought this was something more exciting for me to try. To be able to express my true self on different type of social media. Thing I learned in life is to always be yourself and to let no one take that away from you or make you feel like you have to put them above yourself and love yourself for who you are. Your talent(s),who you are as person,even before your first relationship with someone,wherever you go and whatever you do,REMAIN YOU,BOO!! Nobody can change who you are,not even if you’re gay,straight,bi,transgendered,black,white,brown,red,yellow. Be who you are. No one can control that or take that away from you. You are beautiful. You are strong. Your heart is pure gold. Your soul is a precious diamond. You are the sailor of the sea. You see the dream, you want that dream, you make that dream come true. Like Jessie J said “Sometimes it hard to follow your heart. Tears don’t mean your losing,everybody’s bruising. Just be true to who you are”. Let no one tell you “you can’t”, “you won’t”, or “you’re worthless”. There are gonna be haterade drinkers out there in the world,but the lovers and the love you have for the passion and the goal(s) you want are always going to outweigh them. Which is what I choose to express to you all in this first story. As you see at the top is a video. It’s an intro to my YouTube channel,which I’ve had for a year now and an awesome success so far. ☺️Nothing major,but just something I love doing. I do hope you all enjoy.

For the longest time, I've struggled with completing stories. I have no quarrel with long works, but the procrastination always felt like an emotional blockage rather than simple "writer's block". I've been doing self-research, or researching all the pseudo-science and "facts" I can about the particulars of my character, and I've come to find a new paragraph is written whenever I look into my own world for a bit. Sometimes I could get lost for days in pursuit of my identity; a dozen tabs ranging from astrology to the practices of "chaos magic" line my tabs bar from a few weeks at a time before moving on to the more practical things like work, relationships, and hygiene. I often forget too soon the joy I had finding the contents that aroused my suspicious nature. I longed for a narrative that gave me the freedom and wonder of googling for hours about things "related to me". So when I first came across Vocal, I didn't think I'd really be able to hop in and start making money, but it turns out I can, just nearly half the revenue per 1,000 reads.

Going up without talent is likely to cause failure. What does this mean? It means that if we try to raise our status in any field of life, but we haven’t fully prepared for it, its much likely that we will fail at any time in the future.
