A few days ago I felt the need to express something in my spirit. I initially put it off. However, after listening to a podcast a Facebook friend sent me earlier today, I feel the need to self-reflect. The podcast she shared with me was like a personal life documentary….

Dreams of My Father
Last night, I had a nightmare. I dreamt my father was trying to kill me. The dream was so vivid. My heart was racing a little when I opened my eyes, and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I suppose my thoughts were waging war in my mind, unbeknownst to…

Life Lessons: Growth requires change
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…

My Depressing Dating Life
My dating life sucks right now. It seems as if every woman who I find attractive either lives thousands of miles away, is in a committed relationship, or she is simply not interested in me. It’s even hard to find someone to flirt with! And, the sad part about it…
