A constantly changing monthly income stresses your budgeting and causes panic and frenzy.
All my life I’ve worked odd jobs had several side hustles, and done a bunch of different things at once. As a youngin’, it was exciting because I got to do several things at once.
Now that I’m a bit older, nothing beats having a consistent income that I can plan for every month. Luckily, I have full-time and other side projects on the side. Income that comes in from the side is considered a bonus in my eyes.
When you don’t know how much money you're getting each month as a free-lancer, your mental health can spiral. There have…
Can we all give a round of applause? It could change everything.
In the first few months of trying Medium out, I never clapped for anyone’s articles. I was brand new to the platform, and I only wanted to get the information I wanted and leave.
In the ensuing months, I began writing for Medium. I have a bucket list, and one of the items on it was to start a blog. I wanted to be able to say I gave blogging a chance. Whether or not I was good at it wouldn’t matter. All that would matter is that I helped someone out. …
Whenever life hits you hard, it can be easy to lose all hope
2020 has been one of the hardest years for many of us.
This year alone, I lost my childhood dog and my grandfather. Life begins to feel draining when you lose those close to you on top of a restricting Pandemic. Life doesn’t always go our way, but we have to stay strong and develop strategies to cope with our pain.
According to the World Health Organization, Depression is a common mental disorder. Globally, more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from depression.
We all deal with pain in different ways. Some of us may get angry, others…
If you haven’t already hopped on this tremendous opportunity, you’re missing out.
It’s been nearly a year since I started writing articles for Medium, and all it’s finally starting to pay off.
Despite getting paid anywhere from 13 cents to $148 (my best month), I’ve really enjoyed my experience doing what I love, which is creating content.
There was a drastic wave of writers that started at the same time I did, and we all have been grinding and sticking to publishing articles, but not always getting paid handsomely.
My Newsbreak Profile Journey
At the time of hitting my one month, my following looks like this:
Dedicated to the woman who makes me feel like anything is possible and the future is full of sunshine and rainbows.
A pandemic probably isn’t a time when you think you’ll meet the love of your life. It’s a time where meeting anyone new is a big risk, and we’re advised to keep our distance.
Tinder is not the place where you expect to find a significant other, let alone someone you call your soul mate.
Life is really crazy, and everything happens for a reason: the timing, the connection, the bond, the love — everything.
Let me take you on a journey and a behind-the-scenes story of why I have the most amazing girlfriend in the world.

This free money can help you get ahead in a lot of different ways.
Free money is something that not a lot of us were accustomed to prior to the Pandemic.
Clearly, due to the circumstances, it has led to, everyone could use a little more financial support compared to when things were “normal”.
If you’re one of the lucky ones who isn’t absolutely desperate for the stimulus check to feed your family, there are a multitude of ways you can use that money to put yourself in a better financial place than you were yesterday.
By the end of this article, you’ll have several options to choose from in regards to your next…
Covid was either a giant step forward or backward for people who want to pursue their passions.
Everyone knows exactly what they want to be doing, let alone what they should be doing. Distractions are the devil to solid productivity.
I have confronted points of my life where I am extremely focused without any distractions. But I’ve also been confronted in times of my life where I do anything I can to escape my passions and things I know I should be accomplishing.
High school is a time where I wanted to check the box of schoolwork and then immediately play videogames, and sometimes I put videogames first. This bad habit of escapism when I should’ve been…
And how they’re going to affect each and every one of us
Growing up, I was never interested in attending concerts, shows, or anything that had to do with going out. As I got older, my life revolved around working hard and rewarding myself with unique experiences.
Covid-19 took all of those things from me and millions of other people.
Instead of planning weekend trips to Coachella, Lollapalooza, or Electric Forest, people are planning the next internet live stream or parking lot concert they want to attend.
It’s been a shitty past year for entertainment. No entertainment besides Netflix and Hulu, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m speaking on behalf…
Eliminating a toxic behavior can be the most powerful action you can do in 2021
As my seasonal depression hit this winter, my motivation dropped like a rock. It wasn’t fair. I thought to myself, why am I not killing it like I used to?
Instead of overworking, I was under-working and playing way more video games than I used to. This is perfect for a workaholic becoming an escape artist.
We know when we should be getting work or tasks done, but we don’t always follow through with them. It’s very easy to be unhappy with where you’re at and shift gears towards something else.
I was so jealous of seeing my peers who…
The “GOAT” mentality is an inspiration beyond measure that is achievable by anyone.
On my drive home down I-90 from army training, I tuned into some football talk from my favorite quarterback Russell Wilson.
Russell was frustrated by Tom Brady’s success. Brady, a forty-three-year-old man just won his 7th Super Bowl in his first year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He proved doubters wrong while Russell was in the stands wishing it was him.
I am Russell in the stands. I’m watching everyone besides me have great success even though I put in hours of work, but hardly see results comparable to my peers.
This led me to listen to Brady’s philosophy and…
