    Fifty percent of the time I second guess myself

    Keywords: Growth , personal development , self-growth , learning to accept , loving yourself , self-growth , smile

    Now I know times have changed, really weird for a twenty five year old to say, but I know everyone is on there phones more now than ever. I know so many people, photographers, businesses, even kids use their phones for photos and videos and heck, even creating whole new businesses, but we all struggle with what people think at times. I struggle with my own internal self saying how no one would think my work was cool, or how family would think I was weird for always wanting to take photos of everything. And truth be told, yeah people probably do judge, my friends and family probably do have thoughts as to why I want photos but its not for them. My photos, my work I created isn’t for them! It’s taking something I have in my head and making it real. It’s making myself smile and feel good for doing something I wanted to do. Like this message to you. I tried to take a photo this morning of my relaxing spot, cause ya know it made me happy, and that’s when I heard the voice. So I stopped, then I thought, “why am I doing this to myself?” I am literally the only one here and I’m making my own self feel horrible for simply taking a photo of what made me smile? So in the midst of my morning routine I stopped to write this message cause it was in my head and I felt like it needed to come out. It helps make me feel better to express these thoughts. I dont know, maybe it’ll help you too? Maybe it’ll help encourage you that it doesnt matter for anyone but you what you allow yourself to do, to feel, to think and express. Maybe this will help spark a fire to go express yourself in any way that makes you smile. Maybe you send this to a friend cause thats your way of expressing and helping others. I don’t know, maybe you don’t do anything.

    I will want to do it even if there’s no financial reward at the end. The truth however, is that when you’re in alignment with your gifts, calling, passions – the likelyhood of making money is much higher – the difference is it’s more of a by product that an end goal.

    There is a fine line between habit and addiction

    Keywords: blog found in the forest , addiction , appalachian trail , divorce , habits , hiking , lgf , sugarloaf mountain

    My affinity with ascending mountains has likely become an addiction, but a healthy one. I want to do it more, faster, higher and with my challenge. I have hiked Sugarloaf before, but didn’t make it very high up because I was with my kids and there was still snow on the ground.

  • Isn’t this what I wanted?

    Isn’t this what I wanted?

    Keywords: {0}

    I wanted to be away to escape unresolved issues I had been stuck with my whole life but once the dust had settled, I found myself looking elsewhere again. What if I’m always going to be stuck in limbo? What if I can’t shake off the idea that the grass is going to be greener on the other side, only to be disappointed once I get there? I don’t know how to stop chasing the elusive notion of happiness without succumbing to the thought that this is probably it. As I sit on the cusp of adulthood, I find myself growing increasingly restless. With places to be, people to meet and stories to write, I still don’t know what it is that I want to say.

  • I want to share the happiness I feel

    I want to share the happiness I feel

    Keywords: {0}

    I want the world to feel that way too. It can be a bit much for some, but I realize that if I am feeling all of this goodness within myself, why wouldn’t I want to share it with others. It’s just like if you found a really good restaurant with great food, and service, wouldn’t you want to share that with others? It is an analogy, however, that is what it feels like for me.

    Why do you have to wait until you’re old to enjoy life?

    Keywords: {0}

    I finally got to take a step back and see things in a much slower pace. I got to see myself and get to know her too. And that’s when I realize that I think, my old lifestyle does not suit me anymore. I don’t want to work so hard (especially doing something I don’t want) at the cost of letting life pass me by. I’ll probably get the money but I don’t get to use it because I have no time. Money, since the longest time, has never been a motivation for me. Does not mean I don’t need money, I just need enough for me to live a life I can enjoy.

    I really like the idea of being comfortable while challenging new things. Why do I need to jump out completely and scare myself shitless? Who is it for? What I am trying to prove? And if I did prove it to someone, so what? What is it for? Approval? Whatever for? Does it make you happy?

    Keywords: instant mood shift , mindfulness , thoughts musings , anxiety , depression , entrepreneur , life , mental health , mindfulness , success

    I can quickly remind myself that those things don’t mean success to me, or happiness for that matter. And I can review my own version of success, and measure myself by how close I am to this.

    My son is my sunshine. He really is making me smile, even when he frustrates me. His smile lights up my world. His questions blow my mind. He still gets piggy back rides from me and he loves them. His hugs are healing. He is so cute and adorable and I love his personality. I see in him his dad’s confidence and my insecurities meshed in one. We have been slacking on positive affirmations but I’m sure to let him know that he makes me happy every chance I got. I don’t play with him enough, especially during Ramadan because I’m so tired, but he has become so emotionally mature that he literally tells me “I want to spend time with you” and when he says that, I do, even if I’m tired.
