09.23.18 — Starting Back Up

I haven’t written on Medium in a really long time. Almost a year long. Long enough that I don’t yet feel I deserve to brand myself as a Writer on my bio or my website, or even bring up to other people that I write on Medium or I write articles or blog or do any of this.

11/29 — Side Projects, Mindset, and Balance

Today I listened an interesting episode from the LifeHacker podcast The Upgrade. Titled “How to Pursue a Side Hustle”, the podcast hosts talk with Chris Guillebeau on side projects to pursue to bring in revenue on the side and/or for a fun learning…

How?

How am I supposed to act as though any of this matters? How do I go about my day today, tomorrow, and every day thereafter until my graduation, acting as though what I’m doing right now is making a difference?

Sure, I’m investing in myself now to make a difference in the future, if and…

11/28 — Getting Back Into It

It’s been too long since I’ve written something (personal) on Medium — almost two months, in fact. Long enough that I now feel like an imposter when I see the word “writer” next to my name on my website. Long enough that I feel as though I can’t speak to the benefits of writing…

That’s not to say you can’t take a break. You can definitely relax and wind down after putting in the work. But that…

#32 | Open Doors

I’m sitting on my bed under the covers with my laptop, 11:40pm, staring at my open bedroom door. I know I’ll have to get up to close it after I schedule this post because there’s a light shining through that bothers me at night.

#30 | Flow

Getting into a positive flow is the best feeling in the world. It feels as though you can conquer all and nothing can stop you.

I get into a good flow with a morning routine of hitting the gym (or going for a run), eating breakfast, taking a shower, meditating, and moving on with my…
