Climax (600th Post)

The 20s are all about understanding your latent potential. Each and every one of us has something special to offer the world. There is something you do that literally no one else in the entire world can do. Every person you meet knows something that you do not know. I believe life is all about figuring out what our purpose on this Earth is and using it to help other people. The crazy thing is that not everyone figures out what they're supposed to be doing and that right there is the hardest part about life. These are some of the most important and exciting years of our lives. Some people are taking off, others are just getting started, and even more are almost there. They're at the climax.

There is something to be said about surrounding yourself with like minded people. It's so true that who's in your circle ends up being a reflection of you. If you want to make it and make it big, then all those who you associate with have to be the way. Friends have so much influence and insight into your life. It's the people around you that will see what you're good at, what you're going to be, and how huge the phenomenon of "you" will be. Us, ourselves, we oblivious to our own greatness. Just like your friends can peg you right before you reach the top, you also have that ability for them. Encourage one another, let people be themselves, and support them in all their endeavors. Friends intervene when they need to and because they want what's best for you. Don't ever forget that you know so much more and are way more capable than you think. The only limitations in this life are that which we have on ourselves. Think bigger. Do better. Be bold. I hope you reach your goals and attain your dreams, because you deserve it. This is it. There's no turning back. Our lives will never be the same again. Everything after this changes everything. Don't say I didn't warn you. We're about to reach the climax.

Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all those who take the time to read my blog, share it, and comment. You can never know just how much it means to me that someone, anyone cares what about what goes on in life, my thoughts, and what I take from it all. I know this blog is just a glorified public journal but it's me in written form. Thank you for respecting it and me. In just under a year's time I'll be done with college and we'll see where this blog goes. All I know is I'm nowhere near done writing and I hope you continue on this journey for the youthful life goes college with me. Forever grateful, Joey!

Fraternally Yours

Image
Being a teenager is all about putting yourself out there. I can person say the absolute worst thing is to have someone turn you down when you've done your best to get to know them.  The truth of the matter outs not everyone is going to like you or been click with root instantly. Friendship, fraternal brotherhood or otherwise is not some magical instantaneous thing, like freaking accidentally Instagram stalking, and double tapping the heart and trying to quickly undo before anyone notices. It's definitely an ongoing learning process for everyone. But until I see you again, fraternally yours.    Fraternity has so many different meanings and contexts depending on who you ask. Well for me, my fraternity is about brotherhood, service and democracy. That means taking people at face value, knowing they're worth it, and trusting them. Service is giving back to the community, and showing compassion towards anyone you come into contact with. Democracy is justice and accountabili

Riding Solo

The 20s are all about enjoying yourself. I don't know about you but sometimes (actually most of the time) I get tired of people. The conversations, the awkwardness, the social cues, and all the drama in between get to be too much to fast. You come into contact with so many people every single day and it can be overwhelming. When you get to be alone it can be a little from life, the world, and the chaos that comes with it. You have to learn to be alone and now's as good a time as any. Hunker down, turn off your phone, and get ready to start ridin' solo.  Tell me why the majority of non-celebrity people I follow on twitter are concerned with nothing other than finding a bae. ( Bae - n. - a slang term that stands for "before anyone else" signifying some kind of relationship; Ex. Do you have a bae or are you currently #singlereadyomingle? ) I cannot scroll my twitter feed without seeing the hashtags #thiscouldbeusbutyouplayin, #cuddlebuddle or #foreveralone. It

In Living Color

The 20s are all about speaking up and speaking out about the things that matter most to you. One thing I cannot stand is when people think their cause is the single most important ordeal facing the world (case in point environmentalism - call me when all that Day After Tomorrow  stuff does  down). It's disrespectful, unnecessary and just plain rude to insinuate (whether knowingly or unwittingly) that what you're standing up for is more dire or pressing than anyone else's ideals (aka every group at my school). It's okay to be passionate but when passion puts down someone else's zeal, that's when we have a problem. Get ready for a week of super serious posts - it's that time of the summer again. I'm back, loud, proud, and in living color.  *Let me preclude this post by emphasizing how personal, explicit, and downright painful most of these experiences are to remember let alone write about. It's all about self awareness, look to criticize within b
