I believe everyone is accountable to someone. For example, we are all accountable to the laws of the land. We are accountable to drive a certain speed in certain zones. We are accountable to how we treat one another. I can just walk up to a guy who is being a jerk and punch him…
I’m not sure that I’ve ever hit “rock bottom”, but I’m confident that I’ve been close before. I see “rock bottom” as the lowest point that I could sink too. I see “rock bottom” as a place of desperation, struggle and often pain. When I think of my “rock bottom” and then I reflect on…
This can be a hot topic of discussion as this emotion can cause more harm than good most of the time. Anger can be an emotion that is helpful when I’m hurt or harmed, and I need to push through. Anger can also be an emotion that is extremely destructive and wiping out tons of…
I remember some of my “crushes” when I was much younger and innocent. I ended up getting my heart “crushed” when nothing came of them. I have had my heart “crushed” many times since then. I’ve learned that I have a sensitive heart. It’s not all bad for sure, but it does need to be…
