  • Do I believe that there is such a thing as fate/destiny? Yes and no.  When I was younger, I remembered that I would pray so hard for the thing I wanted.  I would keep that prayer close to my heart.  I wouldn’t tell a soul.  Most of the time, I was disappointed; nothing happened.  My…

  • I love Color

    It’s incredible how people can see themselves.  One thing about me is that I love color.  I color my hair, buy clothes, and even pick out colors for my condo based on this.  Pinks, purples, blues, rainbows.  I love it.  I feel more myself when I have on colorful clothing.  I can tell you it…

  • It Gets Better

    There was an ad campaign a few years ago where people were telling their younger selves that life does get better.  This is very true; however, I want to add to that.  To my younger self, I would say do all of the things.  Push forward and keep moving.  All of the things that I…

  • Social Anxiety

    One of my issues with anxiety and depression is the inability to do things.  I know that’s a broad term, but I feel I allowed myself to be held back. Social anxiety would not let me do things by myself.  I would not go if other people didn’t want to go.  I have let many…

  • What is it about life that out of nowhere, you get hit with a bite of nostalgia?  Recently, I went to see “Godzilla Minus 1”. It was a good movie, and I highly recommend it.  While watching the movie, I kept having flashes of going to Blockbuster.  There, without fail, I picked a classic film,…

  • A visit with King Tut

    Due to personal reasons, I had today off. I decided to make the most of today. Tiktok has been bombarding me with ads for The Tutankhamun exhibit. I love learning about history and viewing items from the past, so this would be a good thing to do today. Side note: everything I think of Tutankhamun,…

  • My life through anime.

    When I was around twelve, my brother Jonathan (about eight) started to watch this cartoon on TV. The show was called Ronin Warriors, and it would be one of the things that would cause a significant shift in my life. Ronin Warriors was very different from anything else on the air then. Everything was so…
