Conquering My Fears
This week I stepped completely out of my comfort zone in search of myself and some place to belong. I have always had confidence issues and felt lost. I have always had friends, some of which I consider family, but my "tribes" died off a long time ago. The high school tribe moved onto college and new adventures. My "punk" tribe divided up and grew apart as we started families and careers away from the area. I love my friends, but I crave a place to really belong. With all of my weird and awkward ways, my tattoos and bright blue hair, I want to find the place where I belong.

25 can be a scary age, if you're not prepared. You are no longer a young and dumb 21-year-old who's just figuring out the matrix and who can get away with countless excuses. You kinda, have to be on your SH*T.

Hey there guys, I don’t know exactly how this works but I’m going to go with my instinct and say what I feel is right. My name is Miguel and I love to share my producer name DR33MR (Dreamer) with other people so they get to know my artist side.

Thank you for never giving up on yourself. When the kids laughed at your one sweatsuit outfit in the middle of summer, now you are showing others the way with your financial posts and how to earn online here on Vocal. Because you know what it's like to have nothing. You know what it's like sitting in class hungry, while all the kids eat their lunch. Come to my page and I will show some ways to earn online, although it is not a full-time income it will allow you to eat, or invest in a better future. Whether you are homeless or in a small apartment, you can use an on sale tablet for $110 that you got from the way I've shown you. You can save money on a public library computer.

I’ve been playing football my entire life. I love everything about football, the bonds you make, the skills learned, and just hitting people hard to be completely honest. I knew from a very young age I wanted to play at the highest level I possible and based off my stats in high school I could potentially make it further than most.

We all want that dream house, perfect relationship and amazing career, however it doesn’t happen overnight and to some, maybe never. I want all those things too. We have a nice place, a farm to be exact. Is it my dream house? Not even close. I share a great relationship with my spouse, is it perfect? Hell no! We have our ups and downs like most everyone else. As for a career… I always wanted to be an author, publish something, be a New York Times Best Seller. Did it happen? Not a chance. Why am I telling you all this you ask? It’s because I am sure some of you are feeling what I have been feeling for a while. Stuck in life, worthless, useless and just existing, comfortable. Satisfied and sometimes unsatisfied with the way life turned out. Like my only soul purpose is to be a mom and a housewife. Of course I love having a purpose of teaching these tiny humans and keeping them safe amongst being depended on by a herd of farm animals, but I need more. I crave more. A bigger purpose.

My feet are tired, my back aches, and my legs shake from exhaustion, but I must continue forward. I must not stop. A warrior never admits defeat, for defeat is disgrace. Defeat, to a warrior, is the ultimate stain on the honor. If I stop, I must accept defeat. If I stop, I will defeat myself. This is the way of the warrior.

It's difficult, stepping out of the comfort zone of your notebook and pen and trying out the website you keep seeing ads for on Instagram. I've been fine with keeping my thoughts private with no one even knowing I write anything, so why did I decide to do this? Maybe I'm looking for approval. Maybe it's for the recognition. Maybe I'm looking for someone to criticize me. Whatever it is, it seems to be subconscious. Taking my feelings and letting them flow right through me onto the page was a release for me. Typing them onto a website should be stress inducing, right? It seems to be giving me more of a release than ever. There's a fine line between the privacy of my notebook and releasing these pages into the internet. After all, what really are the odds that someone I know runs into these? What are the odds that they'll even tell me about it if they do? Not very likely. The only people reading these words are complete strangers, right? So is there really a difference between writing all of this in a notebook versus typing it up on here? I guess experience will tell. After all, having only one story published, I don’t know much at all, do I?

Hey everyone! Happy day twenty-five!! I still can't believe we only have five days left. Time flew by. I hope you all continue to read my posts after this. I hope I've been enjoyable enough that you want to keep reading my posts after this! Have fun with these last few days! Here's the quote of the day: "Writing is something you do alone. It's a profession for introverts who want to tell a story but don't want to make eye contact while they're doing it."—John Green
Michelle SchultzPublished 6 years ago in MotivationStarting over at 28
Starting over at 28 There comes a point in everyone's life when you tend to see the things in your life you should have completed. For some it's college and others it's a career or family, but for me it was all of those things. I had stopped and looked at my life and realized that I was at the end of the road I had started down and needed to change direction.

Almost six months ago. That is when I left my full time nursing position in a doctor’s office. I left because it had turned into a hostile work environment. It was making my life miserable and had me second guessing myself as a nurse. A lot has happened since then. I have been struggling financially. Most of the time I do not know if I will be able to eat three meals a day (I have pretty much been eating only one meal about halfway through the day and I have been trying to drink as much water as possible to curb the hunger feeling). Now, don't get me wrong, I have still been working two part time jobs; they just have not been generating enough income to get all of my bills paid every month. I no longer have cable TV. I had to extend my auto loan by two months and I am currently trying to figure out how I am going to make this month's payment. It took me the entire month of September to pay my rent (and I have not paid it yet this month). I have had to wait until they threaten to cancel my car insurance before I pay it (I have had to do the same with my cell phone as well).
Pamela DirrPublished 6 years ago in MotivationAdulthood: My Story
Exactly a week after my high school graduation I was rolling back and forth on the couch while cartoons played on the television at three in the morning. My whole body was shaking and my heart was racing like I had been slurping on half a pot of coffee half an hour before. While whispering to myself "You screwed up. You screwed up. You screwed up." over and over under the catchy theme song, I was hyperventilating to the point that I wished I could pass out just so the thumping in my chest would stop. What exactly was causing me to cry hysterically and wish for the sweet relief of sudden death, you may ask? The fact that legally I counted as an adult while having no idea what I was doing with my life.
