Forgiveness - Why It's All About You
I've never been great at this whole, "forgiveness" thing. There's been plenty of opportunity to practice, but I've never really gotten a hold of it. It's like algebra for me—two hours after I had already flunked the test, the concept just dawned on me, and I finally understood. Too late.

Learning from Failure
Failure. Some might say that it is an opportunity to start over, a chance to redefine yourself. Even so, no one ever told me how heartbreaking it could be. Case in point, my driving test, or rather 'tests.' The first one, I failed, apparently due to hesitation. Which is rather infuriating. We're always taught to think about our decisions, to not jump the shark. Yet there I was, having just been failed and then informed that I should go home and reread the Highway code. My mother, who had been waiting for me at the test centre, was obviously upset on my behalf. So I cried and I cried until my stomach hurt and until I had no more tears left to cry. The act of shedding tears normally leaves me feeling invigorated, as if it were possible to purge the feelings of worthlessness, but not that day. Nevertheless, I rebooked my test and waited four agonising weeks to retake it. During that time, I lived in my own purgatory, hating and cursing myself for committing such an offense.

30 Journal Entries to Self Discovery - Day 7
HAPPY ONE WEEK!! Thank you again, to everyone following along. Or even if it's your first day jumping in to read, thank you. This first week has been more than I thought it would. I'm actually surprised at how much I've truly enjoyed this. I also thought I would've given up by now because, honestly, I usually do. This really isn't my type of thing. However, I haven't and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I'm also having a lot of fun reading the few messages I've gotten from people following along. Thank you again and keep writing! Here's my quote for the day: "Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way." —E.L. Doctorow

Evening Thoughts
Sometimes I wonder what w'ere all doing here. We are just placed on this earth. Some of us have more freedom than others. Some of us born into rich families, others born into poor. Growing up and being in the real adult world can be shocking and exhausting. Sometimes even humanity surprises me and I don't think I can take it anymore, whereas other times I can be purely inspired by stories and kindness seen from people. Life and career just seems like a rollercoaster, all the time. Sometimes when it actually feels good and happy, something backfires only to reveal that it was too good to be true. What is the point? I don't get it.

Stepping out in Confidence
August 18, 2018, the day I hosted my first event, "Stepping out in Confidence." The event was my way to reach others and help them live the life they wanted and deserved, but it didn't occur to me until the day of the event that I was taking one of the biggest steps in my own life as well.

30 Journal Entries for Self Discovery - Day 1
I have seen a lot of people doing journal entries to help with self-love or self-discovery. Obviously, most people keep these private because they are a personal journey. I belong to a few writing communities and I've seen people rave about how awesome they are. I asked a lot of my writer/ journal keeping friends which one they followed, and I think I have it narrowed down to the one, in my opinion, will actually teach me to learn about myself a little more. Instead of keeping a secret journal entry and all that, I decided to make it public and answer a question a day as a 'journal entry,' and give my ideas on how each question helps us with self-love. This is my first entry. You can follow along and do it with me or just judge me if you want. Please keep in mind these are my personal journal entries, I'm just trying to give out as much of an idea of what I think of these prompts. I don't want people to think I'm writing one sentence and then judging the questions based off of my no-effort answer, which is part of the reason I'm making it public. Thanks for following along. Remember "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." - Earnest Hemmingway
