My Journal… My Journey…
A common quote that people say when referring to something deeper in substance or meaning is "That's just the tip of the iceberg". In life I feel there are so many things which cannot be truly understood with a surface level of understanding. Just like it is not by chance that children of divorced parents... Continue Reading →
Lately I've been thinking about how fantasy has become so much more attractive to adults than reality. Last night I called my brother and my cousin after I saw the new Marvel superhero movie Black Panther. We discussed all the aspects of the movie like we were Siskel and Ebert 🙂 (you have to be...

There are few stories that have been recorded in history that can rival the story of the African-American. It is a story where various races of colored people were sold to the highest bidder and were legally treated as animals for 100's of years. As I write this, I feel saddened, because I know that...

And, how the past and present issues of racism, social injustices, and differences of opinions on governmental practices are being brought to the forefront. In the last few years, what was often hidden under rugs... Continue Reading →
One thing I will never understand is why people are so afraid of change. Some people will never look to build a relationship with someone outside of their circle of friends... or better put, "safety net". I was talking to a friend tonight about how some of his friends and family never thought of leaving... Continue Reading →
I know that I should be positive, grateful, and hopeful for my future. I should be smiling with joyful gladness about all that God has blessed me with. I probably should be dancing and shouting words of appreciation knowing that it is only through prayers and God's grace that I am even alive, knowing all... Continue Reading →
