Accountability
How often do we play the blame game when life gets rough? Very often I suppose. When things go wrong we often cry, get angry, start pointing fingers at the cause of our problems and throw ourselves a big pity party to prop ourselves up, but one thing we often fail to do is take accountability for our actions.

United 93: Impact of a Legend
One Friday night, April 28th, 2006 my dad came to pick me up from my grandma’s house and told me we were going to the movies. There wasn’t any movie out that I particularly wanted to see that weekend so I wasn’t interested in going, nevertheless he made me go anyway and told me we were going to see United 93. I had no idea what the heck that was so now I was even less interested in going. There was also another movie showing that night named Akeelah and the Bee. Though I wasn’t crazy about that movie either I did atleast go watch it while my dad was watching United 93.

Tying The Knot
Weddings really are a time to be alive. Everyone is a sucker for a ceremony of love in which two people who are soulmates are ready to tie the knot and fortify their love forever. I only started going to weddings just over the course of the past decade of my adult life. For some reason as a kid I never got around to many. I’ve seen many people I love walk down the isle of ever lasting love, but being part of the wedding of my little brother and his better half has definitely been one of my favorites.

Toxic Relationships: The Most Addictive Drug
As human beings it is in our nature to connect. We all crave connection and went through a period in our lives when we went without it. For most of us it started during our childhoods, coming from a household with an inconsistent caregiver. The inconsistency of this connection leaves a hole in our hearts and an emptiness that compels us to look for connection elsewhere. That elsewhere often comes in the form of unhealthy attachments like drinking and drug usage, but who would’ve ever guest that the most addictive drug came in the form of people? The most addictive drug is a toxic relationship.

When he walk in he looks around and finds not a customer or store associate in sight as he begins to look around. On his way to the front desk Perry makes a mental note of all the ancient looking pieces of art on the walls and stands that fill the store. When he gets to the front counter he suddenly hears a creek behind him and quickly looks back towards the entrance and finds nothing there but the possessions of the store. When Perry turns around he is startled by a man dressed in an all black garment staring at him with a facial expression that was half serious and half a smile.
