There is always an easy way out of relationships. No doubt divorce rates are at around fifty percent in the United States. It’s too easy to leave when you or your spouse is not the same person compared to when you both first started dating. You will change. Your spouse will also change at some … Continue reading Relationships change, you adjust
I am constantly searching to improve myself mentally, physically, and psychologically, changing for the better, learning from the past, fixing for the future while living in the present. So, if somebody tells you who and how I was when they met or last interacted with me – perhaps that was a week, a month, or … Continue reading Improved version
Somewhere, some time, and at some point, our paths crossed, and some part of me became part of who you were. This didn't happen by accident. We spent a considerate amount of time together, talking and laughing, sharing stories and jokes, and thinking and planning our futures. Clearly, it was difficult not to absorb some … Continue reading I became you
"Instead of trying to make radical changes in a short amount of time, just make small improvements every day that will gradually lead to the change you want. Each day, just focus on getting 1% better in whatever it is you’re trying to improve. That’s it. Just 1%."

It also works when you get lost during traveling or in life. Just figure it out. … Continue reading Figure it out
We weren’t born being a good person, or good at anything to be honest. We have learned on our way with methods such as trial and failing, formal and informal education, books and videos, and especially from people that have crossed our path. Nobody was born being a good person, student, teacher, instructor, runner, sports … Continue reading To be a good one
You see things differently, your mind thinks globally in several perspectives, you enjoy the moment and try to take in every piece of information and visual as much as possible (at least that’s what I try), you connect with yourself in a deeper way both spiritually and psychologically (especially when you travel solo), and a … Continue reading When you travel
Being solo.Traveling by myself.Doing things on my own.Running fast and far alone.Being independent from most things. I guess this is the middle child mentality and personality I’ve developed over the years and have strengthen after moving out for college and starting my professional career. I enjoy doing things by myself, but also sharing experiences with … Continue reading Riding solo
