What Nathan Taught Himself to Overcome Self-Doubt
Nathan had always been his own worst critic. Despite being talented and hardworking, he struggled with the nagging voice in his head that told him he wasn’t good enough. Whether it was presenting ideas at work, pursuing a passion project, or even speaking up in social settings, self-doubt seemed to hold him back at every turn.

In my article for my New Year's goals (Perseverance), I had a SMART goal specifically for Vocal: In the next 3 months, I want to write 2 articles on Vocal per week in order to increase my visibility, to practice perseverance, and to continue improve the success of my blog in an effort to hit an average of $0.50 per month in reads. Baseline: I made an average of $0.40 per month on Vocal during the last quarter of 2024.

A New Year, A Novel Approach. Runner-Up in New Year, New Projects Challenge.
The Goal 11:59PM, December 31: As the seconds tick down to the new year, I sit in front of the tv screen watching the ball drop in New York. The brightly illuminated sphere descends to a chorus of cheers and “Auld Lang Syne”. So begins the annual tradition of donning rise-colored glasses and acting as if our lives will change dramatically just because the calendar changes. As the cliched cries of “New year, new you” fill the air, I feel sick to my stomach.

Time Is Ticking
Dear Diary, I got up strangely early today. My room was so cold I almost didn’t get out of bed. I’m glad I did though. Something inside me nudged my curiosity and I found myself opening the curtains to my window. The pink in the sky was so beautifully illuminated that I couldn’t help but gasp! I couldn’t stop my heart from smiling. It was so lovely.

The Sound of an Emotion
It has been a goal of mine to start a podcast about music and society for several years. I envision this being not just a sonic venture, but one pinned down on the page as well. The content will be written and made available in the form of stories on Vocal. Each episode will be a story one can read with their own eyes, weaving their way through the journey as they follow the narrative I have constructed.

Think About the Lifestyle You Want (and the One You Hate)
Picture this: You’re standing at a crossroads, staring down two wildly different paths. One is bright, lush, and full of potential—the dream life you’ve always imagined. The other is dark, dull, and downright depressing—the nightmare of settling for mediocrity or, worse, misery. That’s the mental image I want you to hold onto as we dive into the choices that shape your life.

All Aboard and Full Speed Ahead
Waiting at the station for the train to arrive, my anticipation grows. The last time I visited Colorado it was driving across country with a U-Haul full of furniture, moving my family from South Carolina to Oregon on our own version of the Oregon Trail. We skirted Denver for the most part and passed through without much of a glance towards our surroundings. My little 4-cylinder struggled terribly with the mountains, and it was all I could do to concentrate on the road before me, anxiety spiked high. I remember seeing a sign for Grand Junction and not much else.
