Humanizing Ourselves | Self-worth
For Yourself This post is dedicated to those who struggle with self-worth. It is also for men who struggle with this and are never told or given the support to handle these issues. I really believe that mindset is counter to a cohesive society. A society made up of persons who lack the self-awareness to […]
Method to Fight Social Anxiety | Journal Entry
I debated posting this mostly from an anxious place. I feared that I’d be “good deed signaling” if that’s even a thing.

*Why is this post epically late, you ask? That is because of one thing: Military testing.* The second part of this topic stems from a few things: death, consciousness, responsibility, and some quality television programming. I’ve recently been binging the show called The Good Place. It’s about some people who die and go to the […]
