Deciding On a Focus for the Blog: You Can Feel Happy Again
I have been trying to refine this blog for a little while now. My post topics have been a little all over the place. I’ve written about mental health, connection, making money, and even my favorite topic: Korea. I have hesitated picking one topic because I don’t want to put too many rules on myself […]
How Korea & the Victorian Era Hold the Key to a More Fulfilled Life
I decided to write a blog. I’m looking at it as a way to release tension. To relieve stress. Someplace for me to collect my thoughts and practice writing again. I’ve been feeling drawn to writing a lot lately. When I was a kid I used to write a lot. I think I was a decent […]
Can You Try to Make Money While Still Being Authentic?
It’s been too long since my last article. Like 18 days. Almost 3 weeks. My goal was to start writing consistently. At least once, but preferably multiple times, per week. I did great at first. Back in December I wrote and posted 4 articles in as many days. And then… February came before pen hit […]

What is One Thing You Miss About Being a Kid?
Wasn’t life simpler when we were kids? I guess it might depend on when you were a kid. I was an 80’s kid so things were a lot simpler when I was young. No social media. No internet. No smart phones. I mean, no cell phones at all. We barely had video games and computers […]
How Fear of Failure Has Kept Me from Writing and What I’m Doing About It
I’ve been battling with a lot of anxiety and stress over this new blog. I was worried this might happen. I wrote about my issues with writing in an earlier post.

How to Connect With People and Why You Should
It was a warm autumn afternoon in 2019 and I was driving to meet a girl for the first time. I mean, not meeting a girl for the first time in my life, but driving to meet this one particular girl that I had never met before. It wasn’t a date. We had become acquainted […]
What Matters Most? Learning to Prioritize Joy and Fulfillment
