Set time for yourself
How do you manage screen time for yourself?
I have my phone set to go off after 10pm each night. On the iPhone you can set that for yourself. I am trying to spend less time on the phone and game. I spend a lot of time on X, TikTok, YouTube, Rumble, Discord, Reddit, and not to mention all the games I play. It helps me to try and distance myself from the phone and everything else. It’s extremely important for me to spend the time either reading, talking to God or even just listening to music. Keeping myself out of all the noise of the world. We become so overwhelmed with information that we never take time to just spend time away from everything going on. It’s important for me to spend time away from the noise of the news and everything for my own sanity. Spending time with my own thoughts makes it easier for me find time to breathe and clear my mind not focus on anything outside of my control instead focus on what I can control, myself.
Three years
What will your life be like in three years?
To be honest I have no clue. I can hope for certain things in life. But the truth of the matter is we plan our future but life happens. So I will keep planning for my future but will any of my goals happen I don’t know. Because I can only my control each day and none of us our promised tomorrow. The world seems really dark and I prefer to try to keep seeing the light. So what will my life be like in 3 years only God knows I just hope I will be happy and still grateful for each moment I am alive.
What everyone should know
What’s something you believe everyone should know.
Everyone should know that everything you wish for, you probably won’t get. Everything you work hard for, you probably will never have. Everything you sacrificed for, probably won’t bring you happiness. Everything you lost in the process is going to make you stronger. Every time you fail, you will be more determined to succeed. Every single time you fall, you will get back up. Because life isn’t easy so keep going no matter how difficult. In the end only the strong survive the journey.
It’s hard
What do you do when you are searching for yourself? Trying to become the best version of yourself. Meanwhile trying to find who that person truly is. I became lost long ago. Years went by and now finally I am becoming a better version of myself. Disciplining myself, finding ways to become more independent and more confident in everything I do. For so long, I realized I could not truly be in a relationship as an adult, because I still acted like a child. It’s only through the last few years and especially the last few months that I realize that in order to become a better version of myself, I needed to set goals. I needed to discipline myself. I needed to learn or should I say relearn better coping skills, how to be able to communicate properly with others and not try to fall into old patterns. Patterns that were not healthy but instead create new healthier habits. Create healthier coping skills. Learning to communicate my own feelings, my own thoughts, without getting angry or hurt. While also taking into consideration that not everything will go my way. There are just some things that I just need to let go and learn to accept them as nothing more than fleeting memories, fleeting moments, with fleeting people. Friendships live and friendships die. Time will tell but in the end it is I that will be stronger. Which makes all the pain worth all the lessons I needed to learn to grow. It’s hard I won’t pretend it will be easy. Nothing worth having is ever easy.
Walking
What is your favorite form of physical exercise?
I love speed walking while listening to jams. It’s probably my favorite because you are outside in the outdoors, listening to music and just not thinking of anything but being inside the moment. Not to mention when you are outside you just feel good especially in the fall and spring, I even love the winter season. But that’s just me maybe not for everyone else.
Silent
Written by Emmanuelle-Rose Grace
I scream
I yell
Still no one hears me
I shake my hands
I stomp my feet
Still no one hears me
I jump up
I jump down
Still no one sees me
I cry
I die
Still no one can hear or see me
Drive by The Cars
Who’s gonna tell you when
It’s too late?
Who’s gonna tell you things
Aren’t so great?
You can’t go on, thinking
Nothing’s wrong, oh no
Who’s gonna drive you home
Tonight?
Who’s gonna pick you up
When you fall?
Who’s gonna hang it up
When you call?
Who’s gonna pay attention
To your dreams?
Yeah who’s gonna plug their ears
When you scream?
You can’t go on, thinking
Nothing’s wrong, oh no
Who’s gonna drive you home
Tonight?
(Bye, bye, bye)
(Bye, bye, bye)
(Bye, bye, bye)
(Bye, bye, bye)
Who’s gonna hold you down
When you shake?
Who’s gonna come around
When you break?
You can’t go on, thinking
Nothing’s wrong, oh no
Who’s gonna drive you home
Tonight?
Oh, you know you can’t go on, thinking
Nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home
Tonight?
Proudest moment
What are you most proud of in your life?
The day I got baptized and gave my soul to God. It was the best thing I have ever done and the only thing that made me feel absolutely powerful. He not only helped me that day, He also has given me the strength to keep going every single day. No matter the struggle He gives me the strength.
Becoming the best version of myself
What have you been working on?
I have been working on myself. Trying to learn from my mistakes. Trying to live a healthy lifestyle. Trying to learn how to communicate better. Trying to push myself out of own comfort zones. Learning new coping techniques to try and not keep myself back. Always trying to keep growing to become a version of myself than I was yesterday. Sounds silly I know but it’s the truth. The only way I can find my place in this life is to find myself. For so long I had no idea who I was and I think finally, I am coming to understand who I am and who I want to be. Because there is a difference, I don’t just want to be myself I want to be the best version of myself.
