Learned to Love Writing
When I was younger, I didn't really enjoy writing as much as the next person. I did enjoy reading though. But, there was something about writing that just made me want to throw out the pen and paper. It could have been the hand cramps, or the topics in English class I never enjoyed. I was fourteen at the time. I wanted to hang out with my friends, play sports, go to the movies, just have a good time and have fun. That was until I started to daydream and had to get these ideas on paper.

There's a lot of talks about race and representation in the media today. I think the media is making it a bigger deal than it should be. Some of the interviews I've read recently had me questioning the motives of the article. Do we need to see a representation of ourselves to know what we want to do in life? I don't think so. If there's something that we truly want to do we should find ways of doing it. I know it's impossible for everyone to think alike but the media makes it sound like there's a general consensus that we need others to pave a path for us. Why do we even need to follow paths? With everything changing today will this even be talked about in the future?

Life is a cycle. Not only because we follow 12 months, 365 days, 7 days a week... But because we are made of phases, moments, and crises.

While I was growing up, I discovered many of my now interests. I even had passions! At an early age as six years old I loved to dance. LOVED. ADORED, even. From ballet to hip-hop. I took classes until I was 14 years old. For eight years I danced my a** off, with passion and devotion. When I got 11, I realised that music was a major part of my life since I was in my mother’s stomach. My father used to play guitar to my mom, so I would stop moving or kicking her belly. So, for five years I was in a music program at school. I played flute and piano in a harmonic orchestra (made of wind instruments only, in comparison with a symphonic orchestra that has both wind and strings instruments). Being in this program throughout my high school years helped me to have good grades and to keep me focused on positive stuff, even though I was going through some tough situations that got me really depressed for few years.

I can't recall how many nights it's been since those weird dreams, but I remember them so vividly that it's like I had them last night.
Cadence of The ShadowsPublished 6 years ago in MotivationDo What You Love
Hi, my name is Jonathann Richardson, and I haven’t written anything in a very long time. I believe you should always do what you love. If there’s that one thing you’ve been dying to do, do it! This life is too short to not do things that make you happy. This may be a corny saying, but “everybody dies but not everybody lives.”

I recently read Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, and The Art of War written by Chinese Military General and Philosopher Sun Tzu. It got me thinking deeply about the way that success and victory, which are of course all subjective to the individual, can be achieved in day-to-day life. Here is what I came up with.
Josh FirminPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow to Explore More!
There are an endless amount of excuses for not getting out and exploring more while having a busy work life. These days most jobs don't just finish at 5 PM when you leave the office, and days off occasionally can be anything but that, especially if you have family commitments or a social life to keep up with. But since the start of this summer I have made it my goal to get out, explore more and enjoy a little bit of adventure at least once per month.

I first became interested in blogging when I read an article about freelancing; it told me that blogging was the best way to go, but I had never read, written, or even really heard about it. What was it? What was it about? I love freelancing, as it has given me a way to make money on the side and explore myself as I do so. I have met some fantastic people doing it, those I am proud to have written for. However, what I was doing did not pay well. I had not learned self respect and self management. Blogging, I read, was to help promote myself and bring myself control.
Elandria EverspringPublished 6 years ago in MotivationYou're Now Leaving... THE COMFORT ZONE!
Whenever the words "comfort zone" pop up, someone invariably asks what it means. It's really quite simple: each of us has a way of doing things that's comfortable to us. From the time we get up (in fact, even the position we sleep in when we're catching the last of our 40 winks) to the time we hit the sack at night, we do and react to things in a manner that's almost automatic, because we're so used to them. In fact, the things that cause us the most trouble in life are those situations that sway us from our regular "feel-good" routines—our "comfort zones"; they don't feel right because we're not used to them.
