January 8, 2021 Consistency Vs. Intensity: The Key to Success For as long as I could remember, people who chose to participate and compete in long-distance running or other endurance sports of the same nature always fascinated me. I trained to be a quick sprinter because that was the nature of ice hockey. Shifts on the ice were no longer than 90 seconds, and most people (even the exceptionally trained players) would need to take a breather before going back out there for another shift.
December 31, 2020 Ambivalence Today is the day that all of us have been waiting for: the time to say goodbye to 2020. I believe everyone can agree…
August 6, 2020 A Change of Pace Laying in the saltwater on the beach two Sundays ago, my fiancé and I were chatting while we watched the clouds passed overhead. The topic of the conversation was the same as it had been for the last few months: my job. I was experiencing the Monday Blues, real bad. We talked and talked–for hours–at the beach, until we came to a decision that was both risky but responsible.
July 12, 2020 The Everlasting Tides of Life When you think about it, life is a lot like the rhythm of the ocean. We don’t want to believe so, as conscious and cognitive beings, but it is the truth. Life has its ups and downs, like the tides. When are at its highest, we’re riding the waves and gliding with ease, like we were born to succeed at whatever task we were currently working on. It doesn’t matter how big the wave is, because it feels wonderful either way when we crush it and don’t feel any resistance.

February 8, 2020 Finding the Magic I distinctly remember as a kid being extra attached to things, people, and situations. I’d fixate on a good feeling, a fantastic memory, or my…
January 25, 2020 Persistence and Patience If you’re anything like me, sometimes patience escapes me. I know it does. I’m not afraid to admit that sometimes, I just want things to happen quickly. Patience has always been something I have worked on, and still do to this day. I know I’m not the only one who has to remind myself to take a deep breath, be patient, but persistent.
January 18, 2020 How Do You Know? Growing up, I often times daydreamed about love. Call this a result of all the princess movies I watched or all the Disney VHS tapes my parents kept on hand, but I couldn’t help myself. All the books I read had some love component, whether platonic or romantic, and all the stories I wrote had a little bit of love intertwined into the mix. Even if I wouldn’t admit it, much like everybody else out there, I was anxious to find love of my own.
January 11, 2020 Love is Love is Love Ah, au sujet d’amour. This is something I have written on before, but not in the most positive of lights. I’ve said a lot about traveling being more important than dating. I’ve alluded to love in other posts of mine, fictionalized la romance, but other than that, if you haven’t noticed, I have steered clear of the subject. Love never used to sit well with me.
