Writing Time

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch.

7 Life Lessons

1. Let go of anger. When we erupt in anger we often feel much worse. Hence, it’s better to cool off and to work on staying calm.

2. When people treat you badly it’s rarely “about you”. More often it tells you how that person is feeling, or some other issue that is bothering them.

3. You’re not the only one who has struggled with this issue – so don’t feel so awful, or put yourself down.

4. Enjoy the good times and savour every moment as life is a precious gift to be enjoyed.

5. Work and be persistent as it’s worth the slog and pain. In the end it makes a difference as the pay off is success.

6. You need to find a passion and set yourself some goals if you want to go somewhere, and makes something of life.

7. All relationships can teach us so much about ourselves. Both the good and the bad show us who we really are. They reveal what we think, and how we feel, about ourselves – as well as what our values and our expectations are.

1. Remember that people can’t real see how you feel. Act as if you’re feeling calm and no-one will know how nervous you really feel inside.

POST #1

Started this simply because I enjoy writing, to an extent, also I want to do it more for personal gain, and not to mention it could help in the long run with school and my future career.

I could start out by saying that my name is Ariel and I am 19 years old. I live in North Carolina currently, where I attend a community college and I will then transfer on to a university and continue my path onto receiving my degree in Forensic Science.

At this point in my life, I would say I want to be out of this town and away from these people, for many reasons. This town is stuck; everyone is going nowhere fast and people are concrete in their ways and the way the think, and really that's one of the things I hate most. People that stray from letting others have their own voice and making their own choices, people that simply are too close-minded for anyone's own good. Aside from that, I want to explore different parts of this country that we (Americans and immigrants) live in. I need to find myself more than anything, I feel that's where I struggle most. I need people who get me, people with the same interests, needs, and wants. I need to be out of my comfort-zone, because that's where you truly find yourself. In the end, I want to be something. I want to show people what I have accomplished, because I'm better than that, better than letting myself be compared to people that have gone nowhere in life.
