At one point, you are now to blame… Continue reading Excuses Excused.

20/24 Vision
I was on Instagram and I saw a girl about to bungee jump. She was suited up, in her harness and all she had to do was jump. She started to cry, changed her mind and wanted to quit. Her sister was cool and calm and tried to encourage her. She was probably anxious too… Continue reading 20/24 Vision
Bits and Peace(s)
Not everything goes our way. I understand that now. Something that can be planned to the TEE can fall apart as if you never paid any attention to even the most simplest of details.

I feel life is divided into two categories. When something happens and If something happens. Despite of this obvious fact, both chances bring forward uncertainty. Giving us anxiety. Now, I am very… not worrisome per se… but I seem to “dwell” on the outcomes of certain things. After the honeymoon phase, the stage where anything… Continue reading The Honeymoon Phase: If and When
“Do You Want to Switch?”
I was working in the media department for an event. I was partially in charge of the department so my job was mostly overseeing what was going on and making decisions. Me, making decisions.
