Did it my way…

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

That’s a hard one. Let me think. The coolest thing I have found and kept is the ability to be myself and not conform to what someone else thinks I should be. Even in my youth I always went against the followers. It’s like the song goes by Frank Sinatra


My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Twisted Hearts: written by Emmanuelle-Rose Grace

Days

Weeks

Months

Years

Still you managed to make me smile today

It’s been over a year

My thoughts go back in time

To a time we would just laugh

Endless chatters

Sharing secrets

Careless whispers in the night

Song lists from the heart

Music that made us feel connected

Nights falling asleep sounds in our ears

Words that made us express our deepest desires

Though the puzzle never fit

We tried to find ways

Life decided for us

You were right coffee, no one is to blame

Life is to blame

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.

Child like views

What does it mean to be a kid at heart?

To view the world in a way a child would. Maybe a little bit naive, maybe a little bit more of a delusional happier way of seeing the world view. That doesn’t mean not seeing the darkness or evil in the world. But also keeping hope that things will change in a more positive direction or eventually workout to a better place than before. Yesterday I was asked if I was granted 3 wishes, I think having said the 3 things I would wish for are very childlike at heart. It probably makes me more naive than others but I have seen enough darkness in my own life that I would rather try to see some beauty or see the world the way a child does which is with endless possibilities.

3 Wishes

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?

World peace, for Jesus Christ to come already, and last but not least that everyone gets to make it to heaven. I know to some that might sound silly but there is reason to my madness. One money will not matter if we are always in wars and fighting each other. Eventually we all be poor trying to survive in a world filled with hate. I want Jesus Christ to come back because He promised He would. I don’t see a positive future much longer. I would like Him to come soon. Last but not least I would like everyone to make to heaven. I know it’s possible technically, but I also know it is written in the Word of God that one must believe in God and accept Jesus Christ. I do hope everyone takes that chance. It might sound ridiculous and extremely naive but I would rather see the ugliness in the world with sunshine and lots of rainbows. For after every storm there is always a rainbow even if you can’t see it.

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.

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.
