I went home for the weekend and realized just how differently I think about things in relation to my family. Sometimes having difficult conversations are exactly that-- difficult. But I also think that they're immensely helpful, we can be so biased towards family because we love them so much, but sometimes we have to be able to hold them accountable of their toxic mindset. It's not to say that I love my family any less, it's just to say that we can't put the people we love dearly on a pedestal; especially because it hurts even more when they sometimes disappoint us. Love deeply, but-- sometimes-- love cautiously too!

sometimes you just gotta get it out and be like "yo are we still vibing or nah" you know??? all the homies love a "clear is kind" moment-- being clear is the kindest thing you can do and sometimes that's really hard <3

I got sat down by three of my best friends a few weeks ago about my overall attitude / humor / sarcasm. They said they could tell that life was weighing on me in a way that was making me more cynical, meaner and combative. It was hard hear that from friends. One of them hit me with a zinger — “We don’t think it’s any concern to your life as a husband or dad today, but we’re scared it might be in the future.” — BRUTAL. But they were right. Work was really weighing on me in a negative way and I needed a wake up call. It was stern and loving. And I’m thankful for them and their initiative to approach me about it. Here’s to getting better + really accepting their thoughts as valid and working through them.

Yea yea I know that's the most corny, most BORING answer but it's the truth. Today, my friends and I drove 30-45 mins just to go to wingstop. Why? Because we had never tried it before. It was a long endeavor, but now I will always have those memories with me. Don't be afraid to try things, especially the stupid little things; I find that those are the ones worth living for.

I just left my 9:35 lecture feeling down and tired, to my utter surprise I see the MOST beautiful, mysterious lady standing outside the building. Smoking a cheeky cig. I LOVE IT. #icondonehotwomensmokingcigs

"Maybe you can be multiple things, and they can all be true". I just finished reading a letter that a friend of mine wrote. Unfortunately, as it stands right now, we aren't talking that often but we did send each other letters. I am so sentimental that sometimes I will miss dearly the feelings someone gave me, the emotions that coursed through my body as I talked to them. Not necessarily the person. It sucks sometimes because it's not something that you can easily find consolation for. These people I share sentimentality with were often not good for me, but there were times where they made me feel happy. My little two cents on this is: let yourself revel in the feeling, but also remind yourself of the people currently in your life who deeply love and care for you. Feelings hurt, but feelings are good.
