The older I get, the more I realize that this struggle will never go away, but it will be a continual battle of seeing myself as good enough, not succumbing to fear that I am is a failure, and doing things that give me life.

Need to up your holiday game? I've got you covered.
My entire life I’ve been fighting this battle of “Do It Self”.
Six years ago, I said to myself, "man. I hope I never get old and boring, and want to spend a night in reading a book on a weekend."
One con is "You Have to Admit that You Once Cried as a 16-year-old Boy Listening to Dashboard Confessional".
The more that I was creative, the less self-loathing and less self-doubt came with the creativity.
My friend once asked, “isn’t that your fifth cup?” kind of judgmentally.
Pastor Grant and Pastor Rob quoting Anchorman changed my life, and for that I’m thankful (so if you’re somehow reading this, thanks fellas).
Before I became a Christian, I could have cared less about reading a Bible verse or reading some theological quip from a pastor with “#BOOM” after it.
Once upon a time I went to prom with my ex-girlfriend my senior year of high school.
At the beginning of this year, I signed up to run a marathon on my birthday (04/16).
What did people do before smartphones? Sit and wait patiently like some chump? Who wants that?
Right now I work at a high school cleaning poopy toilets (or being in “maintenance” if you want to make it sound fancy), being in classes, and am wrestling with finishing well with my classes.
This past weekend (April 1, 2016), the movie “God’s Not Dead 2” came out. If I’m being honest, I have as much desire to see that as I do Batman v Superman, which is zero.
I was getting married, but I had to stop Kanye West from collaborating with Nike before I got married, because he was creating the worst looking snapbacks you could ever imagine.
I love the song “I Took A Pill In Ibiza” by Mike Posner. I’m definitely not in favor of popping pills because “*insert verb here* it was something to do”, but this song speaks to a longing deep within every one of us on this planet.
I still huff and puff, I suck at pacing myself, and I look like a T-rex the way I swing my arms. With this in mind, this is for everyone to read, not just for runners.
“What ifs” bring fear because “what ifs” generally come from us thinking about things out of our control.
If anyone makes a slip-and-slide-type game with the name “Back-Sliding” now, I fully expect a cut of the profits.
I found a CD labeled, “I’M DONE”, which made me laugh, and put it on for a good laugh with some friends.
