Gone Too Soon

We all have loved ones. We'd be lying if we said we didn't. They are the ones we hold closest to us, and that mean more to us than anything. Usually these are your direct family members, the people who have been in your life since you took your first breath. Then there are your blood relatives, close relatives, family friends, and so on. But loved ones aren't just family, they are our friends, best friends, bffs, bffls, boyfriends, girlfriends, and others we have encountered in our lives with whom we have formed a special, unbreakable bond. These connections that we share with those special individuals are not only what make us human, but also make the world an easier place to live in.

Set Up For Failure

I want to start by apologizing for the long wait for a new post. I recently started college, and it is definitely an eye opener. That is why I have not had much time to blog, but my experience in the short time I've been here has influenced my topic for today -are we set up for failure in the world? I want to address this issue to get people to think about the odds that are against them that they may not think about, and help them to think on how they can effectively and successfully overcome those obstacles.

Accepting Yourself

We have all had those time when we look at ourselves and wonder why someone doesn't like us, or why we are perceived as "different" because of how others see us. This usually leads down two roads. The first road is merely accepting the fact that there are differing qualities between you and others. The other road is insecurity. We enter a phase where we are racking our brains trying to figure out why we are different and whether it is bad or not. This is known otherwise as insecurity. This is also a characteristic that holds us back in life. Once a person becomes insecure, they lose self-esteem, one of the worst things that could ever happen to a person. Why? Because it means you will fall victim to the world and its negative influences. Whatever the case may be, it is a virus that lives inside of you until you can overcome it.
