Dream Big
Do you remember being a kid? Times were uncomplicated and straightforward. Stray thoughts would drift through your mind like a refreshing summer breeze. These thoughts consisted of friendship, young love, and spectacular dreams for "when you were old enough to chase them". That actually meant when you could drive. Yet, now when you look back on those dreams, you label them as “irrational” or “unrealistic”. What happened?

Cultivation
Cultivation doesn't start when the weeds start growing; it starts when you prepare the seedbed or planting area for your vegetables or flowers. You'll need various hoes, cultivators, spades, and digging forks to create a good seedbed. (https://garden.org/learn/articles/view/2447/)

Clowns and Men
Like most children, I have a monster under the bed. (I say "have" because they still unnerve me to this day.) My monster under the bed is the simple Clown. There is really no story to this fear, no trauma as a child to talk about. I just started to fear them. My father's first gift to me was a porcelain clown. When the Clown Craze in 2016 occurred it was my worst nightmare in real life and it didn't help that I found out from my father while at the mall parking lot at 9 PM. And with the remake of IT late last year, I wasn't having any of it. Just looking up the dates of the clown sightings I got uneasy with the clown pictures that popped up with the articles.

There could very well be, but before you come to this conclusion, there's something everyone needs to look at.

Five Things You Wish You Knew at 15
I think it is easy to forget how hard it is to be young. As we get older, we tend to look at the younger generation with envy. Oh to be young again where things such as bills and jobs were nonexistent in our teenage world. Adolescence is like a bad relationship; after awhile we forget the bad and tend to only remember the good times that make us want it back once again. So much so that we almost forget the emotional turmoil that comes with growing up. Our teen years are often one of the most difficult times any of us will go through. High school can either make you or break you.

Hello, World... Remember Me?
In life, we are given many challenges, many obstacles to overcome and surpass. Some give us joy while others give us great success. I believe, like most people, that one of the biggest challenges can be how to deal with the pain and aftermath of a broken heart.
