Dear Younger Self
I’m writing online now. First on Quora, now Medium. Remember that blog on Blogger you first created just to imitate that cool cousin you admired? You posted all kinds of random stuff with designs you liked, but now it’s long gone. But don’t worry, I write better now, those honestly were just nonsense you posted for the sake of posting and having texts anyways. Your diary was still better.

How People Label Me Just Because I am From Montenegro
Those who read my articles know I enjoy writing about various cultures, traditions, and history. I often write about my favourite region in Europe — the Balkans, and especially about my beloved Montenegro.

A Rather Improper Journal
I feel it necessary to explain that every time a new paragraph starts with a double space, I come to this document with strong emotion to blurb my thoughts onto the page. The intention was to express myself in a format I could manage and to inevitably post this to Vocal. I was both curious to see my thoughts over a few months, how I can change, and if anyone would be interested in what may be mildly uncomfortable and relatively unfiltered thoughts.

Snakes That Shed Skin, Remain Snakes
The words of my mother, were ringing in my ears. ‘A leopard never changes it’s spots.’ Little did I know growing up, just how true those words were. I remember always being told to fight for the underdog, help the oppressed, oppose bullies, never back down. I had ‘Rambo’ style imagery, playing out in my mind, but the reality was not as exciting, it wasn’t an action-packed movie, because real life doesn’t work like that.

What
What should I do next? What should I have done? What am I doing? What do I still even have to do? All those things left said, done, undone. All the things I should, shouldn't, have should..? What?

Little Old Lady Who...
Saying the title of this piece out loud in a funny voice is the closest I'll ever get to a yodel. And I have to admit, writing something for the Remarkably Real Challenge has had me perplexed. I realized that I love talking and telling stories, but I'm not very good about telling stories about myself unless I'm making fun of me in some way.

Tales Of The Rent Man
I had a family who rented a small place from me. There was a mother, father, and young child who had a disease that would keep him from reaching adulthood. These were nice people. The mom was full time care giver to their child and dad was full time bread winner. They had been there quite a while. Always paid the rent on time and never complained.

Rerisen
Sometimes when obstacles present themselves, disillusionment descends upon us in what seems to be various cloaks. It can be difficult to see through the roadblocks, and even much more difficult to see them as opportunities or perhaps even signs for our life's road to take a different turn or deviation.

On Stage
Growing up I always somehow felt out of place. I struggled to make friends and I often found myself awkward and a little weird. I can hold conversations and express my opinions without offending anyone. Maintaining friendships has been hard as I moved schools a lot. Being teased was nearly an everyday occurrence until High School when. I enjoyed the arts and in eleventh grade, I decided to take a drama class and I have no idea how that happened or what my decision-making process was then maybe I thought it would raise my GPA? I had no idea.
