Amanda, you were right. When faced with adversity or an awesome presence, I talk big talk, but shrink and hurt myself for not being enough. I’m challenging habits that I spent 10 years making and fixing them to work out my school schedule. People always called me the “golden boy,” the “one who will do … Continue reading Facing Adversity

I am, indeed, a hypocrite. I know that everyone in the world is a hypocrite, in any … Continue reading Hypocrite
Striving to be the Best
If you asked me what makes me move, it's because of what lies behind the horizon. Too many times I have put myself into a corner, whether it be in the academic space with deadlines piled on top of me, or dealing with friends and family. And, the most common one, confronting demons who have … Continue reading Striving to be the Best
