I've made terrible mistakes before, I have worked jobs that were not pleasing; just so I can pay the bills, I have been through some ugly stuff. Do I wish I had better opportunities? Absolutely! People hear my story and say, oh, honey I'm so sorry that you had to go through that, but you're a different person right now, you're not that same person anymore! And for a while, I used to tell myself this same thing. Then I stopped and started really thinking of the person I was back then and discovered something. Back then, I was a person who worked my ass off so hard so that I can get somewhere in my life! I was a person who would drop a seemingly great opportunity in an instant as soon as I realized it was degrading or a distraction from my dream. Who am I now? I'm still that person who won't give up on herself and those I care about, who fights for a better life every day, someone who won't take any degrading shit if I can! Because I have learned t...

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" We've all heard this phrase countless times, sometimes we're the ones telling it ourselves or to someone else. Although this phrase sounds like an appealing positive mantra to recite whenever things are crappy or when going through a very shitty day; I wonder if it's also one of those self-help crap that we tell ourselves when we don't want to accept or deal with our realities? Is this some kind of misguided attempt to erase all our troubles? Do we just want to believe that we can make everything better? Are we trying to run away from reality because it's too real and painful? Or are we just tired of doing the work? Remember that time when you were sick and needed to take some not coated bitter pill, and someone thought it was a great idea to crush it on a spoon, add sugar and water to it so that the sugar would tone down, or whatever it is they thought it would do to lessen that bitter t...

When we give too many fucks, when we choose to give a fuck about everything, then we feel as though we are perpetually entitled to feel comfortable and happy at all times—that’s when life fucks us. — Mark Manson (@IAmMarkManson) August 13, 2019

I'm going to use a basic arithmetic operation that suggests that two numbers or quantities multiplied obtain a number or quantity that is termed as the product of the two. Now, I know we can reach the same result using other operations; but I'm choosing to explore multiplication in this case. I'm not good at math folks, so if you're like me or maybe you don't like math, relax ... Grab some hot coffee ...                                           or some ice cream ... Soothing!                                                                         Hot cuppa! Looking back at let's say the things we call our traditions or our way of culture, our habits, they all have this mode ...
