• Being an adult is strange

  One of the strangest things about being an adult is realizing that people you thought you knew, people you’ve known all of your life, aren’t who you thought at all. I understand people getting emotional about events, or things or other people. I do get emotional sometimes. But then I calm down, try to put…

• People are weird

  People are so strange sometimes. Seriously. I don’t get them most of the time. Well, maybe I’m the one that is strange but that’s not really the point right now, because I’m sure this time it’s them and not me. So, for the last two years, you couldn’t cough without people looking at you as…

• Quality not quantity

  So many people are on the belief the more friends you have the better. I never found that to be true. I never had a lot of friends but had friends that had boat loads full, most of whom they chose over me any time of the day until they had a problem, when they…

• Happiness is a way of life

  The best thing that has happened to me during those last two years was the chance to take more time for myself and use that time to figure out what’s important to me.  How I want to spend most of my time. The things that make me feel good. What brings me happiness. And where…

• Listen to what kids are saying

  I’m so tired of people claiming little kids don’t understand… When they parents give them away to strangers for hours on end. When they are being ignored. When they are being rejected. When they are given less attention than their younger sibling. When they have to go somewhere else for hours several days a week…

• The smart phone choice

  I ran into a cousin of mine that I rarely get to see, unfortunately. We talked for a while and she really impressed me. She has two boys in their early teens, if I’m not mistaken. She bought them a cell phone only about a year ago. They were among the last kids in their…

• I don’t understand

  Sometimes I just need to take a step back and regroup. There is so much going on in the world right now and it gets to me. It makes me question our society and even humanity.  There is so much that I just can’t understand.  I don’t understand how people can be so hateful towards…

• Small moments

  There small moments in our lives that are looked at as insignificant in the big picture to other people when you tell them about them but still mean more than anything to you.  A few weeks ago, I was at my mom’s cleaning a new trunk I got outside in her garden. The weather was…

• When did it all go wrong?

  Sometimes I wonder what happened to humanity. And when that it went wrong.  I don’t remember society being the way it is now when I was growing up, and that was only in the nineties, two thousand’s, which to be fair was 20 to 30 years ago but still, that isn’t that long. It’s not…

• It was your choice

  I think I will never understand how there are parents complaining how their children are being raised, while they chose to have other people raise them.  It is everyone’s choice how they want to raise their children, the type of parents they want to be and where their priorities lie. Everyone needs to make the…
