Accountability: Holding Yourself and Others Accountable

                Do you ever blame others for mishaps or unfortunate  circumstances when things go wrong?  Have your expectations in that relationship or on a new job been mediocre? Its time you take a look within yourself but also at the way we allow others to treat you.     I think I've always heard the word accountability used in movies or when my parents would scold me for lying about something  serious. I don't think I had ever really used the word until later in my life when there were actual situations that accounted for the word needing to be used. But what I can admit is the need of myself sometimes wanting to place the blame on others when things don't work out just the way I need them to. This goes for anything that has went wrong in my life, jobs, friendships, relationships, etc. I think placing the blame on others seemed easier than taking the time to fully digest that I may have h...

Communicating: Effectively

          I know communication can be a very broad topic but it is essential for everyday life. Wether you are wanting to order something from a restaurant, talking to a friend on the phone, or even as I am typing right now, I am communicating. Communication is key to everyday life, but are we  effectively communicating?     Communicating has always been one of my favorite things to to engage in. I love talking to friends, people I randomly meet, or even talking to myself. I have no problem with engaging in  conversations, but what I did struggle with is communicating my emotions or my needs effectively. I always thought I needed to yell or cuss to get my point across, when in all honest just expressing your words calmly to an individual 9/10 could work. I had to understand that if someone was communicating how they felt to me, would I be 100%...

The Power of Faith

                     I think that when we are younger we don't quite understand the meaning of faith. I know when I was young and going to church I honestly use to fall asleep.  It wasn't that the preacher was boring or that the choir  wasn't great, it was just the simple fact I didn't understand that I was supposed to be thanking God for everything that was given to me. I understood that there was always a higher being but I honestly felt as though as long as I thanked my parents I would continue to be okay. It wasn't until I had to go through real life situations that I completely understood how indeed power God truly was.                I was in college and I was going through a really tough time. Of course I had my friends  right there with me supporting me and being listening ears but somehow it wasn't enough. I found mysel...

Living through COVID

               You can still have go out. You can still hang with friends. You can still live life, safely.               2020 was a stressful year for everyone, when this unexpected virus hit the world. We all saw it starting to go down but no one understood the  serverity of the situation until it was to late. With the blink of an eye the normal life we knew turned into wearing masks everyday and having to social distance away from the ones we love. 2020, an unforgettable year to say the least.     I can say it has not been easy trying to live through a pandemic. When it first hit I was in my last few months before graduation and I was so hyped about experiencing my last few parties, hanging out with friends, and just making the most out of my senior year. I still remember where I was once I knew that this wasn't going to be gone anytime so...

Closure: Healing and Moving Forward

                                You can have peace. You can move forward. You can heal.                  Closure, how necessary is it? Is it something we need to move forward with our lives? What exactly are we obtaining from closing a certain chapter in our life? Is it detrimental or beneficial to the growing process?          When I think about closure I don't define it just in terms of receiving it from a relationship, I also think about it in the form of receiving it from friendships or jobs or anything that you feel needs that last piece of closing before moving forward. For me I feel as though closure is important because I can't truly heal from a situation if I don't have all the unknown questions answered. I don't want the unanswered questions to hinder or bound me from mo...

Toxicity: Engaging in Healthy Behaviors.

                              Remaining intuitive. Remaining grounded. Remaining peaceful.      I think often times we try to find the flaws within others that we forget to take a look into  ourselves. While others around us have toxic traits there are ones that lie within yourself unknowingly or knowingly. It is up to you to figure out what they are and learn to work towards bettering yourself. Learn to identify what makes you toxic and how can you evolve from it.  So lets take a moment to ask ourselves how do we honestly define "toxic". My personal interpretation of toxic is having a trait that you know is negative and outputting onto others or sometimes yourself. Wether we do this intentionally or wether its just a natural part of the human make up we wanna take the time to better understand what it is that makes us want to indulge in this toxic trait. Over the years I have ...
