What does it mean to do the right thing? How do we know what the right thing is?
Not every situation you are put in gives you that clear gut instinct on what to do. Feelings are involved and that makes everything tricky. This is probably the most selfish thing I will write but I believe in following your own feelings first. That being said, I wouldn't encourage anyone to purposely hurt someone else's feelings. However, at the end of the day, you are only going to sleep with yourself. That means you should live each day doing the things that will allow you to sit with yourself at the end of the day and be okay with the choices you made for that day.
When you live for other peoples feelings, you will only hurt yourself time and time again. I cannot stress how important it is to be true to yourself. Live each day with kindness in your heart. Follow your feelings and instincts and what makes you be able to live to choose happy in your life.

I have been keeping a journal since 5th grade. This is the earliest I remember because I still have this journal and all the years after it. I wrote my first book based off of my journal entries and my life experiences up until this point. I wrote it in poem form because I knew I was not ready to expose people who may not have made the kind of personal growth that I have had. On the other hand, I may someday put my whole story out there because it is my truth. It is what I experience and felt and no one can take that away from you. That is why we have free speech.
I have been reflecting for quite some time about who exactly I want to be and represent and no matter what path I venture off into I always come back to the questions "Is this who I am? Who I want to be?" Deep down I know the answer is to just be myself. Express myself the way I want to and that is what I intend to do.
I have debated even keeping this website because I don't think anyone is really reading what I have to say. But then I remind myself, I am doing this for me. Don't get me wrong, I really hope I have a positive impact on others. I hope I can inspire someone to do better for themselves. Part of that is doing it myself. I need to be more consistent with what I am doing and how I am doing it. I want to be someone who shares what is going on in life because that is how we learn.
So, my new plan is to make sure a blog goes out every Sunday. An email every Monday, and a Youtube video every Friday. Having a plan makes things more real. Having a schedule puts the plan in motion. Working for yourself is not easy though. The accountability is lacking. The only one who is going to make sure I do all of the things is me. That my friends is certainly where I have been lacking. If I want this remote life, I need to start acting like I already have it.
So this is my message to you that you will be hearing from me every week. You will be seeing my on socials several times a day. You will really get to know me. I hope you stick around for that. I hope you reach out and chat with me so we can get to know each other more. I hope this new journey brings so much joy for all who want to be apart of it!
Remember,
Choose Happy
