FOMO- Fear of Missing Out

I like to consider myself a man of commitment who tries to always be a person of my word. Because of this I feel like loyalty and long term dedication requires a strong sense of waiting on the Lord. But the problem comes in also wanting the very best and not settling for less, so…

Tall Poppy Syndrome

It not you, It’s me!

The night before we would always make cookies and leave them out for Santa Clause to eat and give him energy to deliver presents all over the world. After that we would…

I use to sit and wonder why people did what they did and chose the lives that they do. I have always loved people watching and trying to figure out their stories on how they became who they are today. What decisions did they make and experiences did they have in order to become the…

I built my Kingdom!

I have to apologize for this post in advance, it might be really offensive to some of you but that is not my intentions.
