An Affirmation. A Word.

This was a powerful thing for me to post, because even when I try to make myself out to be a strong individual, sometimes, my weakness is my insecurity and self-doubt. This year, I downloaded an app that sends me an affirmation everyday.  I try to look at it everyday, and save ones that mean…

Failure

I feel like a failure.  I set out to accomplish a goal and I’ve missed out on at least 5-6 weeks of that goal so far.  I’ve been so out of the loop of writing that I haven’t posted an essay since week 11(ish)… I kinda feel like crap about it.  I haven’t lost steam,…
