I spent most of my life as a slave to my emotions. I would get angry or sad on a whim. It was frustrating and damaging. It’s extremely difficult to be successful when your mood changes on a dime. I tanked a few jobs and pushed some great people out of my life because of … Continue reading Emotional Intelligence

Stranglehold
Victory... An established feat? Packed and secured. Or... Visceral and absurd. Fleeting and intangible? Or... Timely and manageable. An upward struggle fought, Is a cause that can’t be bought. So... Time well spent, And pure intent, Will bring you through. So never relent.
Trapped
Lately I feel like I am not living life. It’s like I am stuck in a film, and I am watching this version of myself on a loop. It’s beyond predictable and redundant, it’s disheartening.

This enables me to disconnect from the parts of my life that are overwhelming. It's needed to decompress from the stress and overall chaos that life sometimes dumps … Continue reading Procrastination Vacation
Ups and Downs
I haven’t really had the time to write anything recently (besides some poetry here and there). Even as I write that, I acknowledge that this is only a half-truth. Yes, I have been super busy lately, and I’ve been finding it harder and harder to get out of bed. It seems like a combination of … Continue reading Ups and Downs
