All the thoughts. All at once.
Sometimes, I feel like that one scene from Spongebob. All the file cabinets open, and everything is on fire. However, it feels like the norm. Sometimes, my brain is on overload, and I wish I were like MJ or at least had more time on the clock. I have more things to do, but I…

Safe Space
I have no safe space, or at least that’s how I feel sometimes. I find myself in such feelings and emotions when I reach my limit. This can be monthly, weekly, or, if we’re honest, daily. I find myself wanting to share myself with others, but I often retract back as quickly as sending the…

Remembering what fun feels like
In a world full of – well, everything, I find it hard to find moments to enjoy what I am doing. I guess I am saying that I am often “doing” something because it needs to be done. I find it hard to do something because I simply enjoy it. A few weeks ago, I…

Inward look, Outward Confession
I meant to post this a while back, and I honestly forgot about it due to how crazy my semester ended. I’m better now, but I feel like this is something I should still share with others, so please, read the rest of this honest look inward. I know it’s been so long since I’ve…

Focus on Consistency
Today is Monday, and I am super excited for the week ahead! I’ll be frank with you – I have no idea why. I personally have not been this excited about life in a while. Over the past year, I have experienced many transitions that have made my life like a rollercoaster. However, I now…

The Bread
Hello and Happy New Year! I hope you all are doing great and making the best of life. This year I plan on blogging and honing my writing craft. To be honest with you, I was only going to keep this to myself at first, but I felt like it was too good not to…

Cheers to the new year!
As I sit here on New Year’s Eve, I can’t help but reflect on the previous year. This year was marked with bold decisions like buying my now wife’s engagement ring and proposing to her, interviewing to be director, and moving to a new state. In between all of that, I have been blessed to…

Peace: A gift to be enjoyed
As I sit in this time of reflection, a lot comes to mind. A year of failure, success, death, joy, pain, love, trial, and triumph. I recollect my thoughts from June 18th, when the earth stood still, AKA my wedding day. I remember being so excited and nervous, worried yet calm. I felt like a…

Suffering For Purpose
I don’t know where to start. My life the past few months have been anything but simple! I am sure you all know I am married by now and have moved to Georgia. It has been, and I am super thankful, but I have never felt so lost and alone. I am married to my…

LIFE
The challenge we must all face! I know it has been forever since I last wrote something, so let’s see if I can catch you up on my life. On June 18th, I got married to my best friend in the world. We started our honeymoon on June 19th, only for it to be messed…

Planning My Forever!
It’s Tuesday, June 14, 2022, and I am less nervous than yesterday but still anxious, nonetheless. I have been waiting on this day since the night I proposed. However, there’s this odd loneliness to it. I guess some would call it the calm before the storm. As the time ticks away, I want to invite…

No Safe Decisions!
A little Adventure Never Hurts Well, this is new. Usually, when I have much change, I am calm, or at least I thought so! Over the next few weeks, my life is about to change rapidly. I am getting married, honeymoon, packing my things, moving to a new state, and starting a new job! It…

Something’s Got to Give!
Where do we go from here? I don’t think I have ever written anything like this, to be completely honest with you. However, I will do my best. Few people will read this, but I at least want my thoughts known. The events that occurred these past weeks in Buffalo, Irvine, & Uvalde are horrific. This type…

Unsung Hero
When I couldn’t see it for myself As I reflect on this Saturday afternoon, I think about all the influential people in my life, and I am incredibly grateful. When I could not see my potential, they took a chance on me. Of all the people they could have doubled down, they chose me. Now…

expect Jesus.
“Lunch is on me today.” Words that changed my entire day and made me reflect on who is really in control. Yesterday my fiancé and I went to eat lunch together, which was Waffle House, I might add, which is God’s gift of all-day breakfast food. As we drove in the car, we conversed about…

Difficult for a reason
Life is complicated, and we have our burdens to bear. However, as I’ve said in my podcast episodes, pain is necessary. No one should have to go through painful situations, but they serve a purpose. The past few months of my life have been anything but easy. I have been angry, and I’ve cried. I’ve…

Battling the Dark Night
How long will it last? “I thought I was fine.” I am sure we have all uttered this to ourselves, but that is how I felt. The past few months have honestly felt highly tumultuous. I found myself fighting mentally just to leave my bed. 5 am wake-up calls felt like a death sentence, and…

The Soul Needs Rest
I have never been here before. Never in my life have I had to fight myself to get out of bed. Better yet, I have never missed weeks of workouts because of wanting to sleep because I am stressed. It is a feeling that I do not wish on my worst enemy, why? Because it…

Every Day is My Last
What the pandemic has taught me If I have learned anything since March 13, 2020, it’s this: life will never return to normal. As a person who works with college-aged individuals regularly, I often hear the phrase, “When will life be normal again?” Usually, I look at my students and say, there is no normal.…

What Adulthood Means!
Figuring it out as you go Adulthood – it’s the strangest thing I’ve ever experienced. I remember being a teenager and knowing what my next step was: go to college. However, since graduating, I have been doing life one season at a time. I often talk to my friends about adulting and how much we…

A little faith
My hope for tomorrow I’m tired—a phrase I don’t like to admit. Better yet, I hate to admit. I don’t want to write this blog, but I am writing it to get my feelings out. I am personally writing it because I know I won’t tell anyone how I feel. Pretty bad, isn’t it? A…
