Money-Making Motivation
When you are young, you think there is nothing that you need to worry about. You cannot get hurt, you have all the money in the world, and you feel there is nothing that could ever go wrong. As you grow older, you start to realize that since you were so carefree when you were young, you screwed yourself over in a sense that reality and adulthood are sinking in. I know this firsthand because I was this exact person. I played outside doing dangerous things (like jumping off the roof of our shed onto our trampoline). I also spent every dollar I ever got because it would burn a hole in my pocket if I did not. It did not bother me at all that I was this way. Now that I am 24 and freshly graduated from college, I have an entirely new perspective. Especially when it comes to earning and saving money.

However, I have experienced a lot within these years—lessons and events that have helped me to grow into the individual I am today. I have learned that to truly enjoy life and to make the most of it, it is important to find a balance in everything you do.

Dream Big
Do you remember being a kid? Times were uncomplicated and straightforward. Stray thoughts would drift through your mind like a refreshing summer breeze. These thoughts consisted of friendship, young love, and spectacular dreams for "when you were old enough to chase them". That actually meant when you could drive. Yet, now when you look back on those dreams, you label them as “irrational” or “unrealistic”. What happened?

Cultivation
Cultivation doesn't start when the weeds start growing; it starts when you prepare the seedbed or planting area for your vegetables or flowers. You'll need various hoes, cultivators, spades, and digging forks to create a good seedbed. (https://garden.org/learn/articles/view/2447/)

Clowns and Men
Like most children, I have a monster under the bed. (I say "have" because they still unnerve me to this day.) My monster under the bed is the simple Clown. There is really no story to this fear, no trauma as a child to talk about. I just started to fear them. My father's first gift to me was a porcelain clown. When the Clown Craze in 2016 occurred it was my worst nightmare in real life and it didn't help that I found out from my father while at the mall parking lot at 9 PM. And with the remake of IT late last year, I wasn't having any of it. Just looking up the dates of the clown sightings I got uneasy with the clown pictures that popped up with the articles.

You're Not Shit. Society Is.
Before you think you might have a mental illness, read this. So you've noticed that you're not quite feeling yourself lately. Maybe you can't focus on anything, enjoy the things you once did, sleep or eat as well... perhaps you might be thinking that there's something wrong with you. There could very well be, but before you come to this conclusion, there's something everyone needs to look at.

Five Controversial Things I Wish I Knew at 15
So I recently wrote a post called "Five Things I Wish I Knew at Fifteen," all but few were surprising, common sense perhaps with a few twists, however I wanted this post to highlight things we feel we probably shouldn’t do at fifteen but are actually just a part of growing up, so here it goes.

Five Things You Wish You Knew at 15
I think it is easy to forget how hard it is to be young. As we get older, we tend to look at the younger generation with envy. Oh to be young again where things such as bills and jobs were nonexistent in our teenage world. Adolescence is like a bad relationship; after awhile we forget the bad and tend to only remember the good times that make us want it back once again. So much so that we almost forget the emotional turmoil that comes with growing up. Our teen years are often one of the most difficult times any of us will go through. High school can either make you or break you.
