Many of my friends and family members are going through trying times. These trying times are both heartbreaking and quite stressful. I also am going through some challenging times dealing with something I’ve never had to face before. That’s simply part of life.

An idle mind is the devil’s playground. Everyone needs an outlet for their thoughts, their frustrations, or their creativity. It’s part of human nature to express one’s self, to communicate emotions, dreams, and desires. But nowadays, most people work nine to five in a crucible, a coffin where their youth’s hopes remain buried, slowly sinking to oblivion from the weight of the world—the stress of life. Don’t let your dreams die. Find avenues where you can express yourself. Set your soul free from stress through any of these creative hobbies. Write a Journal One quick way of expressing one’s self

I believe human beings simply want to be happy. I believe every single one of us deserves to be happy. I also believe that happiness does not hurt others and it doesn’t bring down others.

Going through a completely crazy scenario, that really hasn’t fully ended as each week there’s something new to deal with pertaining to that chapter, I lost myself. I started focusing on “making money” to pay bills, versus doing what just came naturally to me all those years ago when I first step foot into my living room to work at home.
