20/20 Vision

 This morning I had the most honest and open conversation this morning with someone I didn't expect to have it with; my uncle. He helped me dig so many things up, sort them out nicely and give me advice. Before you ask, no, we weren't burrying a body. Lol. From the things I told him, I realized what exactly I needed to do. 2020 has been quite the year, yes? For some, it was a great year and for most( that I've spoken to about it) it was a terrible year. With the pandemic sweeping the earth to failed relationships to difficult times in school to emotional pain to lost jobs to funerals and the list goes on, this year has really been crazy. For everyone that managed to keep their sanity during this insane ride, I applaud you.  With everything that has happened, it's very easy to lose yourself.

My Take Aways 1. Once you have passion for something, chase it down and sharpen it  In the show, Beth (the p

 On Sunday morning I received a phonecall I never thought I'd receive. Being as tired as I was, I didn't pick up the first time because I told myself I'd call the person back later as it was too early to pick up the phone. When I finally picked up the phone, I heard some of the most painful words I've ever heard, "- has passed away." Upon hearing this, I went from being exhausted to being alert and in massive shock. Death. A concept that human beings have failed to comprehend and tried to get rid of for centuries through science, technology and modern medicine. The concept or the process is so dreadful that it has caused some people to develop  Thanatophobia (fear of death); I being one of those people. I assume that the fear stems from the fact that we don't know what happens when we die. Is it a path into nothingness as if someone never lived? Is there an afterlife? Is there a heaven or a hell? Well, if you're religious then your faith probably has a
