In this post, I reflect on the frustrating trend of trolling on social media, where people comment on posts without actually reading the article. I share a personal experience of commenting on a political article, only to be met with off-topic, hostile responses. Despite the confusion and frustration, I highlight the importance of reading and engaging thoughtfully, offering advice on how to handle online arguments with patience and respect. The post is a reminder to stay focused on the topic and avoid getting caught in pointless online conflicts.

As an adult, I find myself feeling socially lonely, struggling to relate to those who love me most. While I’ve achieved many accomplishments, the desire to make new friends and experience life with others still lingers. In this post, I reflect on how loneliness has shifted as I’ve gotten older and how I’m preparing myself to step out of my comfort zone to build new connections, despite the challenges of social distancing.

In this post, I reflect on my fear of speaking out and how my active mind often creates anxiety about my words being misunderstood. Although I’m a spiritual person, I struggle with the fear of misinterpretation and criticism. I aim to confront this fear, be authentic, and embrace the freedom to express myself openly without worrying about others’ perceptions. This journey is about overcoming self-doubt, expanding my comfort zone, and finding strength in being unapologetically me.

In this post, I reflect on the struggles of trying to be authentic while worrying about offending others. As I navigate the complexities of overthinking and self-expression, I share my journey of learning to embrace my true self. This blog serves as my outlet for clearing my mind and offering advice to those who may be going through similar experiences. Join me as I explore the importance of being unapologetically me and letting go of the fear of judgment.

In this post, I reflect on the current state of the nation and compare President Trump to Andrew Johnson, America’s 17th president. While both have contributed to division, I argue that Johnson’s actions, particularly an executive order he signed, had a long-lasting negative impact on race relations and the nation’s economy. Despite Trump’s divisiveness, I believe he still has the potential to repair the damage, unlike Johnson, whose decisions left lasting scars. This post is a candid look at how leadership can shape a nation’s future.

Getting rid of fear can be crippling. Sometimes walking away from fear is the best thing you can do for yourself.
