Now you may ask why am I bringing this up. The reason is, as I take stock of my life, I realize how many people I have lost to sickness or health. When you look at your life, you need to take stock of the people…
Life has a tendency to knock us down. Now some of us are able to bounce back up and keep moving on. Relax, and Don’t Stress During my time away at Uni, I was under a lot of pressure. I felt I just wasn’t moving forward, it was like the saying “I am take one step forward and two steps back.” What I mean by this is no matter how hard I tried to get things done, I was always…
Now this is a tough subject because everyone copes their own way. Now people cope for different reasons. Some of the reasons are (loss of a loved one, dealing with being alone) and the list goes on. Now I know I still have my mother and my brother and my sister-in law and her family who are always there for me, but I know there are those who don’t have anyone because their family either rejects them or just doesn’t…

This is one of the hardest things for us to keep in check. How many times has someone told you to either to not be over emotional or not to show them at all. This is a hard for us too do, because of who we are. For me to bottle up my emotions right now would make me very sick.. I am still dealing with the loss of my father who passed away in August of 2017. But I…

For me, this was a weird feeling. Before I even started traveling on my own, I would go on trips with family or friends. I never thought how would I handle myself on my own. Who knew I would have a totally awesome adventure and want to do more. Yes I did travel, but before each departure I had such anxiety.

For me in the beginning was hard, because people didn’t know how to deal with my weirdness. Until it came out that I had Asperger’s people though I was strange.
