I can't help but wonder about the complexities of identity. Who we are is not always easy to define, and our sense of self can be shaped by a multitude of factors. But as we navigate the waters of identity, there is one aspect that often goes overlooked -- the relationship with ourselves. How we… Continue reading Identity
How beautiful to be in a constant state of new beginnings. Did you forget? Did you forget that you get to go through the chrysalis stage again and again and again over the course of your life? To change from one state to another just like the butterfly, albeit maybe not as visibly obvious. The… Continue reading New Beginnings

We can sit and and ponder the intricacies of the universe, the inner workings of the human heart, and the deeper meaning of life itself. More often, though, we get caught in worry, planning, or any slew of random things that tend to pop into… Continue reading The Worrying Mind
