Let's Begin

 Let's Begin-

I think that it is important to share opinions, right? It is important to let others know how you're feeling, what team you are rooting for, and to share ideas on what you are passionate about.

That's what makes the world go around, right?

But, here I am with my first real post.  Instead of planning too much for this blog, I kind of want to "play it by ear", meaning, see where it goes and how it goes.  I want to be me, and I want others to be their true and centered inner beings as well.  Why try to mask who you are all the time?  I believe that it is more than healthy to have a safe place to share your opinions, life goals, and beliefs without any form of judgement.  

This is that place. 

I love a good debate.  I love seeing people who are driven by their passions put their full self on the line to defend what they love.  I believe that it is one of the greatest things that make us human.  I think a civil and friendly debate/feud is a very healthy practice.  If someone doesn't harbor any opinions, what makes them human?  And the greatest part about opinions is DEFENDING them. 

Whether it be politics, sports, modern culture, religion, or education- EVERY PERSON is passionate about something different. I know that I am very passionate about some things that my parents or my friends might have no say in.  One thing that I am passionate about is speaking Spanish.  I feel if a person lives in a state or region of America that has a large amount of Spanish speaking people, that you SHOULD accustom and learn their language.  I get angry when I hear somebody say "they're in our country, they need to speak English".  This country was made from immigrants.  What do you mean they have to be like us?

But, that it is just one of the many things I get heated about.  I am a very passionate human being that has a lot of strong opinions.  But again, what is important to YOU might not be important to me, but I am ALWAYS open to hearing and learning new ideas/opinions. 

Anyway, though.  This is an open forum.  Comment something.  Email me something.  I will post.  I will raise the issue to the surface.  I will give you the forum to speak.  This is an open place full of free speech and free opinions.  

Reach out to me.

Log off, and Love Life Again

 I've taken a break off of social media and this blog for about a week.  This week has been brutal in America.  Riots, protests, fights, arguments, and hate being thrown around left and right on social media.  In general, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and even TikTok are very toxic places to be spending our time.  People are cussing each other out, fuming with anger- social media is a war zone.  And it is that way because nobody can listen to each other.  Our generation is so accustomed to not listening to each others' opinion and why they think that way.  Everybody just wants to shove their opinions down each others' throats and if somebody else doesn't agree with them, they immediately attack them.  On both sides of the "political parties".  It is absolute madness.    Words are thrown around like "racist", "white privilege", "snowflake".  And what do these words mean? Well you won't be finding out on this blog post.  My goa

Not About the Money

After a couple weeks of a break, I am here.  There was a lot of stuff that was happening in my life that I wanted to take care of before I sat back and started writing on this blog again.  But, after a small break, I wanted to share some things that I've experienced recently that really hit me. The last time I wrote on the blog was during a period of division in this country and a lot of malevolent behavior.  Arguments, fights, name-calling, and disruption reaped this nation, and I was appalled. I was upset with the way people were acting and I spoke up about it on this blog.   I hate bringing up politics.  This is because I have stepped away from politics due to the toxicity that boils from it. Too much hate, corruption, and unfairness across the board.  It's important to have your own unique opinions, but as for me, I have been a much happier human being ever since I stopped paying attention to politics.  On a side note, last week there was a big health scare in my family whi

I Thank God

 I was just sitting in my dorm room, thinking, going through pictures, and reminiscing on some memories. This past week, just like every other week in a college student's life, is crazy.  But, the weekends are for taking a deep breath and taking a nice break.  Lately, I have been the happiest human alive, keeping God in my mind, and spreading my love to others.  I haven't been living in the future, I've been taking one day at a time, and I have been holding on to the little moments in life that make me smile.  I never thought that living in the present could make me feel so happy, free, and positive.  I don't think I stress this enough, but I thank God for my relationships every single day.  Ever since COVID hit, it taught me some life lessons that I might never have learned if it weren't for this pandemic.  I have begun to savor the small things (and the big things) in life.  Every night before I go to bed, I go down a list thanking God for the people in my life.
