Trying Something New
Just a reminder, if you’re trying something new and hard, and you keep failing at it, it doesn’t mean you suck and aren’t meant to do it. It just means it’s new and hard. Everything is at first.
Real Wealth
You’re wealthy if people like you. I don’t mean “like” as in people-pleasing, approval-seeking, or being a doormat. I mean other people like spending time with you, talking with you, being around you. They enjoy your company. They want you around. You’re a positive influence in their lives. If you have that, you’re wealthy. You’re…
Something to Look Forward To
Always have something to look forward to. I hope you achieve your dreams and go on that vacation and make that money and marry that amazing lover — but once you do, find something else to look forward to after that. Always keep growing. It’s a secret to health and happiness. If you feel bored,…
If Someone Judges You…
If I’m just being my honest, authentic self and somebody judges or criticizes me about it — that’s on them, not me. Yes, I’m a little weird. I have quirks. I’m a dork. I like being a little playful, silly, eccentric, and goofy at times. I’m totally straight and serious other times. I’m an odd…
In Remembrance

I Need Rest
My life came to an abrupt halt recently. I mean like an all-stop, sudden, hard, hit-a-wall, sixty-to-zero in 5 seconds flat kind of halt. It left me feeling very lost, confused, and a little scared. Here’s what happened: Go-Go-Go-GO!!! This isn’t the first time I’ve lived in Los Angeles. I first moved here back…
