Competition
I am a competitive person. I always like to be the best at everything. I like to win. However, there is one instance where I have learned/ am still learning not to be competitive. That instance is life in general. I had a conversation the other day with probably one of my oldest friends. We … Continue reading Competition
My Favorite Sport

A Month of “No”‘s
Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, something goes wrong? Multiply that by about 10, and you'll start to understand how I feel. April has been pretty awful for me.
