Too Old to Say Whatever, Too Young to Stay in One Place
Remember when you were 12 years old? Really think about it. 12 years old. The biggest stress day-to-day was hoping your crush with the J-Bieb haircut would pop up on your MSN and rushing home so you didn't miss your favourite rerun on Disney Channel. Remember those days? Where you didn't have to figure your life out because you had time. You knew your next step: high school and then university. Didn't know what you would study, just knew that you would. You thought that everything would fall exactly into place and by 22, you would be the successful adult fashionista you see in movies running the world.

Who I Really Am...
How do you know who are you are? I can tell you that I sure didn’t know until the beginning of this year. I am 22 years of age and I've always lived this life I was comfortable with. I did the same thing every weekend, with the same people, coming home at the same time and working the same job, which most women at my age did not do. I was comfortable. This wasn’t what I wanted my life to be. I always imagined traveling, taking risks, starting my own business, and meeting new people, but I only allowed myself to do what I was used to and didn’t know how to go about the things I wanted to do. In result of this, I was very stuck in my comfort zone and wasn’t able to bring myself to start what I really wanted.

The "Just Be" Campaign
As I kid I cried and pleaded to get certain things to fit in and my family refused. They wanted my brother and I to be "proper": we wore London Fog coats in the winter and catalogue garments all through the school year that no other kid was wearing because there was no way in hell we were going to run around looking like the hood-rat kids in our neighborhood.

Stop Procrastinating for Good
How many times have you told yourself you are going to do something and you always procrastinate, you never do it, time goes by, you have excuses. Mainly that is going to take a lot of time, effort and the usual “I’ll do it tomorrow.” Eventually, time goes by and when you look back, you realize you could have finished by now, or at least made some progress, but you are still in 0%, not even started. Does that sound familiar? 20% of the population identifies as chronic procrastinators. Don't be that statistic.

Don't Take It All on at Once...
Till recently, I had a particular habit that never seemed to change. I was stuck in a cycle that went between being completely unmotivated, and finding a sudden inspiration to do a complete overhaul of every aspect of my life. Out with the old, in with the new. My brain would fire off a million aspects of my life that needed a change, and needed it now.

Life Lessons Everyone Can Learn Through Baseball
Growing up, I spent more time on a baseball field than most girls. And because of this, baseball is still my favorite sport to this day. Maybe because it was my entire childhood and maybe because I learned so many important lessons from the game of baseball.

I Want to Change the World
May I start with a little story, something that just found its way into my head? Thank you... Imagine it; a vast barren land, the smog is so thick you can't see the stars or the horizon no matter where you are. The rich live in domes, a bubble of indulgence with an artificial, projected sky, with rich, delicious, genetically modified superfoods. They have every lavish thing you could ever ask for, they're happy, without a care in the world. Machines do everything for them. They're all identical and they live healthy for over 150 years. The poor live outside, breathing the floating dirt output by the domes. Their homes are built from of scrap and trash, which are no match for the dust storms, their meals are just slime made of old discarded superfood. Not a single thing grows out here, and there's nothing to hunt. Everyone looks different from those on the inside, they have different skin, different eyes, voices and minds. They fight for the survival of one another... In vain more often than not, you're lucky if you live to 45.

Being Average
I always avoided being shirtless. Always. I never even wanted my own family to see the torso I was ashamed of. I set my standards low with everything and even developed a way of sitting, walking and breathing that wouldn't show anything I didn't want people to see. Especially wearing black, I wasn't an Emo, just self-conscious (that was a joke).

Well today, I'm going to share with you seven tips on how to keep up your goals consistently throughout 2018 forward.

How Bullet Journaling Helped Me
A few weeks ago, I started bullet journaling. I first stumbled across the idea in one of my Facebook groups. It really intrigued me, but I didn't have the inclination to start journaling. After a rough patch, I decided to give it a try. I looked at various pictures of examples of bullet journals online and I decided to try a modified version. A true bullet journal can be very detailed and I didn't think I could commit to that on a daily basis. I saw some pictures of really cool ones with stencils and lots of colors. People also wrote goals for each month and inspirational quotes for each day. I also saw ones that looked like a day planner with special events written down.
