Siblings
My siblings are all smarter than me. I’m guessing it’s how parents feel when their kids grow up and get smart and start making good decisions on their own, or they feel their children have surpassed them. Everyone in my family, including my parents, are still smarter than I am, but it’s really awesome to…

This is War
I’m gonna fight for my own skills, and my abilities, and my worth as an employee. I’m not going to give up because of technicalities. I refuse to think poorly of myself for what is out of my control. I will not let anyone else dictate who I am and how I value myself. Don’t ever work…

5 Reasons I Don’t Need Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and like most Linkin Park songs, someone has repeatedly let you down, even when you trusted them with the most intimate piece of your soul. Now you’re alone, with the unfeeling morbidity of a withered scarecrow and same sunny outlook on life held by Nosferatu the Black. But it’s okay!…

Postponed

It’s this inaction that has worn away patience and caused me to halt in the middle of sentences, check my words, and slowly proceed with the proper censors in place. A…
