“I really don’t like her” Or “She’s Okay.”

I walk around society telling myself what not to do and what not to say. I question actions and words. But then I think, why? Is this normal? It really isn’t. I see individuality as a form of respect. Nowadays, I feel that we are assaulting individuality. For instance, there was a time where my … Continue reading “I really don’t like her” Or “She’s Okay.” →

Agree Or We’re Sworn Enemies

What has happened in our society that we can’t manage to agree to disagree? We all perceive ourselves as opened-minded while the opposing views are narrow-minded. We have fallen prey of judging someone based on who they voted for and who they supported. We have forgotten about their past—about their dreams, goals, and struggles. They … Continue reading Agree Or We’re Sworn Enemies →

Be Present: Empathy Vs. Sympathy

“If you love me, don’t let go... hold onto me ’cause I’m a little unsteady,” lyrics from the X Ambassadors, “Unsteady.” I’m sure that we all feel unsteady at one point or another. We seek different people to remain collected, a spouse, a friend, brother or sister so on and so forth. But I’ve learned … Continue reading Be Present: Empathy Vs. Sympathy →

Ramble, Babble, Jibber-Jabber Blog

Hello, everyone. Believe or not, I just finished a research paper right now at 4:30 am in the morning. I am on a high of reading, writing, researching, and editing. Dios Mio! I am mentally exhausted but feeling oddly enough quite optimistic. I don’t know why. But I thank God for this momentary, well, hopefully, … Continue reading Ramble, Babble, Jibber-Jabber Blog →

Mentally All Over the Place

I believe my uncle passed away about two years ago. Quite frankly, I am not really sure why he died because it’s a long story. I couldn’t even go to the burial to pay my respects because our relatives gave us different dates. So that was a little hurtful. This time, it seems, my aunt … Continue reading Mentally All Over the Place →

Am I A Good Person?

Most people I know claim, “I’m a good person.” And to be fair, I think the same about myself. But when we believe that title of “good person” suits us well, we cease to examine our character. What do I mean by this? If I am a good person, then what's the point in questioning … Continue reading Am I A Good Person? →

Dear Lord, I’m Sorry!

I'm so stressed. The world presses and professes things I refuse to hear and bear. Seeing those tears. I'm a witness to unfairness. But that's life, right? Admit it. Assume it. Breathe it. The greed of these serpents. Where is their heart? Their human existence? I, like a wild woman seeking it. That it. Trying … Continue reading Dear Lord, I’m Sorry! →

Be the Best. Sleep. Pray.

My countenance expresses confidence and assertiveness—perhaps even carelessness. Oh but I do care. I care so much, at times. Why? I have a million thoughts doing the cliché thing—racing. And am I mentally overwhelmed? Not really sure anymore. Not sure. My thoughts conditioned me to believe that it’s normal to feel drained. I walk around … Continue reading Be the Best. Sleep. Pray. →

Near But Far Enough The BlueCut Fire

So, the BlueCut Fire burned many neighboring cities close to my home. The authorities did have to evacuate people from my city. Luckily, I live at the other end. Nonetheless, as you will see from the pictures I took, the fire was very close. I was difficult to breathe for a few days, and I … Continue reading Near But Far Enough The BlueCut Fire →
