How Did We Get Here?

Well, there’s a loaded question. And one that has been on the mind of humankind for as long as recorded history remembers. First off, where exactly do I mean by here? Here on planet earth? Here in this physical reality? Here in the modern era? The answer is pretty much, D. all of the above.ContinueContinue reading “How Did We Get Here?”

I Can Only Do For Me, What You Must Do For You.

I used to want to change the world. Now, I know I can only change myself. Spiritually speaking, humanity has entered an era quite different from the preceding centuries. And while spirituality and religion run in the same circles, they are not the same thing, despite history’s attempts to confuse the two. In the thousandsContinueContinue reading “I Can Only Do For Me, What You Must Do For You.”

Judge Not. Resist Not. Fear Not.

We’ve all heard the phrase, judge not less you be judged yourself. Or some variation of it. Of course we shouldn’t judge others, but that phrase embodies a deeper meaning, something I feel is ultimately more difficult than not judging other people: Not judging yourself. Over the past year, I’ve been going through a tremendousContinueContinue reading “Judge Not. Resist Not. Fear Not.”

Don’t Mind What Happens

Beginning this summer, I’ve decided to live my life by the mantra: “don’t mind what happens.” And I’m serious about sticking by it. Even if my house burned down? Yes. Even if someone I love dies? Yes. Will I grieve and experience unhappiness if those things happen? Of course I will. But ultimately, I knowContinueContinue reading “Don’t Mind What Happens”

The Root of Evil: Human Unconsciousness

Why are some people so obsessed with demonizing others online? It can hurt, to watch friends and family publicly call each other out and slander one another. And all to build a narrative that favors themself over the other person. But, we see strangers do this to each other too. Comment battles and arguments areContinueContinue reading “The Root of Evil: Human Unconsciousness”

The Voice Inside Your Head

We all have it. Inner monologue. Train of thought. Brain manifestations. Whatever you call it doesn’t matter, because regardless I’m betting most of us struggle with a similar aspect: the dreaded naysayer! The you’re-not-good-enough. The dream-killer. I hear this voice a lot and I’m a pretty strong-willed person. I can only imagine how it affectsContinueContinue reading “The Voice Inside Your Head”

30 Things I learned Before 30.

In six days, I’ll be thirty. Generally, when I ask people about turning thirty, they have some sort of PTSD or horror story associated with it. “When I turned thirty, my body fell apart.” “I cried all night.” “Thirty was really hard for me.” True stories. Me? I’m pretty excited about turning thirty. I thinkContinueContinue reading “30 Things I learned Before 30.”

The Fate of a Nation

The world is heavy. We are living in an unprecedented time of not only U.S. history, but global history. This relates a lot to the ideas I brought up in Proud To Be An American? (If you haven’t read that, you may want to start there). It’s a fact that the government doesn’t give aContinueContinue reading “The Fate of a Nation”

Live Your Truth

I think there are few people who actually know themselves. Of course, who’s to say what it means to know yourself? And how do you actually know when you know yourself? I certainly keep learning about myself, everyday. And I intend to keep learning each day, for the rest of my life. So if that’sContinueContinue reading “Live Your Truth”
