It's okay to take a break from life and here's why:

In today's world, it is constant go go go. Why? I know in life we can have a lot on our minds at one point or another. We all have went through a stage of life where we just don't feel like ourselves. Whether this stage only lasts a week, a month, or maybe even year(s). How and why do we let it get to this point?

It is only natural to get caught up in the now and that's okay. However, we do this to ourselves too often and it often causes us to become overwhelmed. Maybe because we make more commitments than we can handle or maybe don't give ourselves enough 'me time'. Trust me, we all have been there.

There comes a point where enough is enough. Take a minute, step back and think about the last week/month/year of your life. Did you reach your goals? Did you enjoy it? Did you learn from it? I guarantee you just within this minute you're going to start feeling refreshed and relaxed. If we could just convince ourselves that sometimes we need to just stop. Stop what we are doing, put the phone down and just embrace what is currently around us we will find a sense of peace.

I challenge each and everyone of you reading this to go somewhere where you can be you. That may be the local coffee shop, at home, or even take a trip. Get away, forget work, school, everything and just let you be you.

Life can be hard, but if we can get our minds and hearts in the right place, life won't be hard.

Marching Through March

Some appreciation for the month of March.

I love the entire year. Well, for the most part. I'm not a big fan of Winter, but even then, every month has something that's pretty great. November? Thanksgiving. December? Winter Holidays. January? New Year's. February? Valentine's and Single Awareness Day. May? Existential dread during finals. But for me, March has always been my favorite month of the year, and for good reason.
