Coming From a Writer...is Reading Dead? #reading #writing #lifestyle #learning #books #life

I know you might have asked the question yourself, here is my story.

Opposites Attract? I Think Similarities Do... #life #lifestyle #relationships #motivation

We have heard the phrase so many times…opposites attract. But, our similarities actually attract us more.

Maybe This is Why Some People Settle for "Less" #motivation #life #lifestyle #inspiration

It is human to want the good things, the big things, the things that will make us live above average lives. But, this is not the case for everyone, because we all have different views on life based on the way we acclimated with society.

For many of us, we will only live our best lives if we have a million dollars in the bank and a 6000 square foot house by the ocean. While for others they…
