Some of my fondest memories, when I was younger, was sitting on her back porch having great conversation. One thing I love about her (that’s not in the top five) is the fact she never talked at me or down to me. She spoke to me as if I was on her level. She made me believe I had something important to say.

Friendship should be hard—not hard.
Recently, I tried to make a new friend. Not because there was anything wrong with the friends I already had; but because I wanted a new perspective. I think it is great to have a diverse group of friends. I met someone I thought I could add to this new group of friends. However, theContinue reading “Friendship should be hard—not hard.”
Stop Apologizing!
Stop Apologizing! My name is Antonio, and I am an apologizer. I have learned, over conscious observations, that I apologize for things that do not need or deserve an apology. Usually, these apologies soften the blow of my “NO!” or uncertainty. This concerns my perfectionism; I want people to genuinely like me. Even when IContinue reading “Stop Apologizing!”
What next?
This is a continuation of a blog post from a few weeks ago, “Diving into the Abyss.” Ok. You dived head-first into the abyss. What Next? This is the question I had after diving headfirst. The experience was better than I could have ever imagined. I got what I was seeking. However, during this process, Continue reading “What next?”
Diving into the abyss
We have all had those times. Where we imagine how things could be, so we decide to test the waters. We know that one wrong decision could end everything. However, we become so curious that we decide to leap head first into the abyss of uncertainty. Stepping into uncharted territory. This has happened toContinue reading “Diving into the abyss”
If people were honest, the world would be a better place.
This blog post is not about truth vs. lie. Instead, this post is about honesty vs. political correctness. It is about those sugarcoated truths that are borderline a lie. Those truths that we try to tell others in hopes that we spare their feelings. We do not understand that those sugarcoated truths are doing everyoneContinue reading “If people were honest, the world would be a better place.”
I dreamed a dream that shall remain a dream!
I am not telling you, to let all of your dreams remain dreams. I am speaking of those dreams that we all know are not completely right. The ones where we see the writing on the wall, and we destroy the wall, because it does not say what we like. These are the dreams that need to stay locked in our head. If we will be completely heartbroken, do not do it.
The closure I needed.
Some people cannot handle being around people who are strong, blessed, and happy. They will self-sabotage because they cannot handle friends who are doing better than them. In this case, you should feel sorry for these people, and not judge them. Continue to pray for them, and move on.
Only you can make you happy
Three months ago, after I had my revelation, I promised myself a few things
1.I will live life unapologetically, being my true and authentic self.
2.I will accomplish all of my dreams ( alone if I have to)
3.I will not allow fear of being alone to stop me from doing anything
4.I will conquer my fear even if they kill me
5.I will acknowledge the simple joys of everyday life, as much as possible
6.I will not apologize for being selfish
7.I will always work to make sure that I am moving forward.
I said NO and received healing
When you say no to others, you are really saying yes to yourself. Yes to your healing. Yes to your future. Yes to your soul.
