Get Away As I stand at the bridge in Santa Monica overlooking the beach I take a deep sigh of relief that I’m back on the ground safe. The air was so summery it was refreshing to be in weather I can enjoy for a change. I have family that I look forward to seeing and spending time with. Making unforgettable memories in adventurous unfamiliar places was always something I enjoyed since a child. It’s a wonderful feeling to travel and get away from everyday life. Doing things I love that I…

Ownership has the potential to establish both negative and positive aspects in an individual’s sense of self. A person gages their value through their ownership of skills, objects and accomplishments in an accumulative manner. These comparisons have the ability to cause damage to, as well as build up, someone’s appraisal of themselves. Everyone owns at least a few material objects, but it is what they own in terms of knowledge and abilities that shapes a person’s self worth and hopefully, their…

As the Notorious B.I.G said it was all a dream, I wonder what he was talking about. In America where most people are privileged and have opportunities that other people may not have in any other country. If you were to ask me what else is it they could possibly want? I would simply say the American Dream. This is the thing that everyone wishes for American or not. The American dream to me would be you with a happy family living a comfortable lifestyle. Three things could explain it all family,…

me. I always told him I would sleep with him when hell freezes over.. I guess we better buy winter clothes." Nia said half joking still in denial that she would end up in the same bed than him. For as long as she remembered sex had never been a personal thing for Nia. She learned at a very early age the effect she had on people and from that point on it had always been a tool for her to use when she needed something done. She had kissed and groped people but this was real, not a game or a plan,…

Claire closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, trying to exhale but her mind raged on thinking about the issues and problems at hand. She could not focus her attention to anything but the daily struggles in her life. She finally let out a breath with a sign… Has this become my life? Who did I marry? I met him when I was seventeen what was I thinking? Who have I become? How I am going to fix this? She looked back and thought about couples who said they make their relationship work, couples who…

As I scrutinize the azure abyss and its infinite cotton balls, I respire gradually and contemplate my existence and my purpose. I am surrounded by colossal, emerald trees and feel the invigorating breeze down my back. Perhaps, I am not an F. Scott Fitzgerald, when it comes to describing and recounting the scenery around me. However, I am anything but ordinary, I am a seed! I live with an everlasting hope and desire to sprout and impact the world. Meanwhile, I depend on innumerable elements like…

In today's society the average person goes through high school, then repeats the cycle through college, gets their degree and goes out into the “real world”. They meet someone, have a family and move out to the suburbs. That is the path that most americans take throughout their long journey in life. Contradictory to that some of the wealthiest people took the risk of taking their own path and profited very well from it. “Have the courage to follow your own heart and intuition” (Steve Jobs).…

I think in life we all look back and think to ourselves, did I do or say the right thing in that situation? I believe life is full of choices and everyone makes some mistakes, and that’s okay. We are all human and our lives won’t end simply because we screw up a few times. In life, many people are looking for happiness, power, money, and everything else in between. I am trying to improve myself every day, appreciate the little things, work through the hard times, and I believe that will allow me…

Many assume if they can't succeed without jeopardizing health and life, they lack certain abilities. Everything is possible with some planning, care, and facilitation. Planning is an important part of life. I plan my day, my week, and even my year to help myself set goals and make sure I'm following the path for my success. I like structured plans so I could assess and prepare. Just like roads, I may have to follow a detour, even if it takes longer. Sometimes I stall just like anytime of the…
