Valentine getaways were just ruined by COVID-19
While planning my "baecation" to a warm, sunny tourist destination in the Caribbean or the Pacific I saw the news release from CDC. It is official that the CDC has just placed ALL of my possible destination spots on the "no-go" list. Thank you, COVID-19!

The Future of Sleep is Bleak - It's Time to Get More Creative with Our Sleeping Habits!
In the last few months, I have been thinking a lot about my resolutions for 2022. Pledging to be kinder to ourselves by prioritizing rest is a resolution that I'm really excited to make.

an 18,000 piece puzzle got me through eight months of the pandemic
I've always loved puzzles. While some might look at a 1,000 piece puzzle and think "Oh that would be something fun to do this week" I think "An hour before bed? Yeah, I can finish that."

The Life I Created In Mind, The Truth I have Lived My Life
Have you ever dreamt of your future life when you were a little child? What dream did you have? I have dreamt of my future life as a little child, and I believe lots of you had done that too. Do you still believe the dream you had? Do you live the dream now you had as a child?

The Truth, The Whole Truth?
At first, I wasn't planning to enter this challenge. I didn't have any real mentors growing up, and the people I look to now for guidence and support are more a relationship of friends and equals. Most of the people I can honestly say I "drew inspiration" from were more in the sense of "right, I'm never being like that jerk!" than an example to follow.

Do You Want
This is a sad, but true story of false hope, isolation, disguises, lies, drugs, deceit, and more. While someone/as well as everyone on the side of town, I currently have to live in, apparently believes they are more important than any others, aren't they the ones who feel the least important in the bigger picture. With my last name being my maiden name legally now and literally mine only, I have a different type of security than what my married name came with, is what I have been shown. I still know it is a fraud, trying to get me to put the blame on anyone, but the obvious truth.

people watching at the coffee shop
I'm supposed to be here curing my unemployment, being productive, making the most of all this new-found free time. I am not, however. Instead, I'm making a nuisance of myself and being a drain on this coffee shop's limited resources while amusing myself by writing about the people within my immediate vicinity.

Dear, Lone Wolf
Dear Lone Wolf, I know that being alone can be empowering as hell, but other days it can be hell. Maybe you've always been independent,

"I like you", for 400, please
Here are my thoughts on a girl I ‘barely’ know. Am I maybe jealous that she has the freedom to see whoever and do whatever? I turn 25 in the next couple of months, I don’t want to wake up in 20 years and wonder what if?

How Sweet Is Your Tea?
Whilst what I write here is on the subject of Martial Arts, the advice on offer can apply to all walks of life by people wanting to better themselves and achieve the achievable...because it’s all achievable. There is nothing we can’t do if we will face our ‘Shugyo’.

Epiphany
This is a story about me and how I ended up where I am right. The prologue leads up to where I am currently. Here I was on New Year's Eve, the last day of 2021. I just turned 22 years old the day prior and was out with a couple of friends. My friend's birthday was in a couple of days, and we were taking turns writing on a card we got him. Everyone was writing their best wishes for him, and it was finally my turn. I didn't know what to write and thought about it for a while. Suddenly words flew through my head, and I quickly jot them down on the card. The words were " Make this year your year. Don't take any moment for granted."
