One shouldn’t go out just to go out, or talk to someone just to have someone to talk to.
So recently, I had a breakdown. However, once I finally got over myself, I came to the conclusion that I just needed to write. I needed to get off Twitter. I needed to get off Facebook. I just needed to write.
Writing just does something for my soul, that Twitter and Facebook take away. Therefore, I am back, and am serious about expressing my emotions through this outlet that I have created through Tumblr.

Welcome
Recently I had a moment of absolute clarity, when I realized that I am responsible for my own life. It was then when I began to illuminate myself by living from the heart. It was then when I no longer allowed hate consume me. It was then when I no longer let the bitterness steal my sweetness. It was then when I understood that we all suffer, and further, just have to continue to keep on moving forward. And, it was then when I truly found pure happiness.
With that said, I’m glad with where I am in my life. Nevertheless, it would be extremely hard for me to embrace life without the assistance and support of family, friends, proverbs, inspiring quotes, inspiring people, and most importantly, Oprah.
Yet, I still need more clarity. I still have a lot to learn. I have to discover what I want, and so forth. Further, because I want to continue discovering revelations of the truth (which are in need of addressing) I have created this blog, of which anyone can follow in search for assistance- just as I received- in giving life a meaning through clarity. Accordingly, we are never too old to learn to be happy, and we are never too old to learn the meaning of life.
