How To Not Let Life Get You Down
We've all had our fair share of ups and downs. There are days when everything goes just the way you want it to, and on others, it seems as though the world has turned everything against you. And if I asked you which one of those relates to your everyday, what would you say? If the first part pertains to you more, then you most likely don't need to hear what I have to say, but if it's the second part and life is definitely not giving you lemons, then please stay tuned for what I have to say.

The Joys of Giving Up
Rewind to about a year ago. If you asked me where I'd be in 5 years, I'd tell you I'd be cruising down the PCH in my long-coveted 1986 Lamborghini Countach, windows down, blasting Def Leppard or Van Halen or some heavy metal crap, headed to my bitchin' mid-century modern home located somewhere with an enviously-posh ZIP code. All my money came from some ingenious, world-changing idea I came up with, which I make loads of money on without getting name recognition from it (last thing I want is people following me around or badgering me). I have a horse, at least one dog, and a partner I am madly in love with. Oh boy, am I living the life.

Exposing Myself
I’m in a 10 day self development workshop. The goal of this workshop is to explore my shadow and integrate with my rejected aspects of self, eventually coming to a place of full acceptance and love. That means owning everything I'm ashamed of that I bury deep down inside hoping no one will ever find out. All these aspects stem back to one thing and one thing only: fear. The things I judge about you are the things I have rejected within myself, and as I start to accept myself fully, I can accept you. As I've explored these aspects, I’ve been faced with many challenges. One is admitting they exist, and shedding light on them since I’ve tucked them away in the deepest parts of myself. They are things that I truly believe, then hide away neglecting their need to be accepted, resulting in self sabotage and victimization. But today will be different. Today I will expose the ugliest parts of myself, in turn exposing them for what they really are; FEAR,false evidence appearing real. Facing my fear and exposing them to you will take away all their power over me. Everyday you have a choice, love or fear. Today I choose love.

Growing, Growing, Growing
Enjoy! Growing, Growing, Growing... As human beings we are all given the privilege to grow. I don’t mean this in a physical sense but more so in a spiritual sense. I think everyone has to grow and create the person that they desire to be. We all have to overcome obstacles, different people, and getting lost in the world we live in to truly figure out who we are and determine our sole purpose.

An Open Letter to My Friend Who Thinks She's Not Enough
It broke my heart to hear you say, “I just don't think I'm pretty enough.” I wish you could see the world through my eyes, because when I look at you, I see strength, and perseverance. I see an independent woman who has been hurt, but who has grown. I see a woman that has overcome more obstacles than any stranger walking down the street could ever know. Do you realize the value that you carry with you?

How Dying Saved My Life
Peter Pan, a boy who never grew up and never wanted to grow up, said once that dying would be a big adventure. Who knew that at the age of 24, he would be right. It’s not something we think about everyday—unless you’re me and think about it more often than not. What would happen if I died? Would anyone be sad? Would anyone attend my funeral? Would people who pretended to like me regret being rude? It’s everyday thoughts like these that have me thinking about the what if’s. I know we all have them, but I remember one particular moment away from these thoughts that saved my life.

New Year, New You?
It's a new year and it's my favorite time of year because that means new beginnings and new opportunities to start over, start fresh, and give yourself a clean slate. Over the last few months, I found myself trying so hard to move on, from pain, from heartache, from missing a certain someone. January couldn't come fast enough.

My Greatest Fear
Death is not my greatest fear, but it has consumed my thoughts for as long as I can remember. I have no real reason to think about it to such an extent; none of my immediate family has passed away (only extended) and I am only eighteen years old. Maybe I watch too many gory movies and television shows... Maybe I'm paranoid on top of it, which does make sense—I'm quick to jump to conclusions about my health whenever something hurts or I learn of a new disease.
