What can you do when you barely recognize the person you’ve become. How do you hold space and patience for this stranger who has overtaken your life. Who are you? Who have you been? What is the concept of you?

I've got some disorganized feelings to let out. This one isn't pretty or polished but it's real and I hope it reaches someone that needs it as much as I needed it. 

I have been exorcised on three separate occasions. This episode centers around on the topics of mental illness and how it is viewed, specifically in  religious and ethnic families.   

To those who want and can afford to go to College, go with intention. To those who go and don’t make it to the finish line, It’s okay to fail. What is not okay is to hate yourself for it. I was disappointed in myself and disappointed that I was going to disappoint my family. I blamed myself for failing and it was my fault but only to an extent. It was a combination of bad decision making and external circumstances that led to this outcome and I am now making the best of it. I have granted myself a year to explore as I deem fit and to freely contemplate what I want to do with my life. I implore you to do the same. Life isn’t long enough to live for everybody else, you may wake up one day and find a life squandered. This would be the greatest tragedy of all.

Themes: Self worth, support systems, perfectionism as a security blanket. I woke up this morning and I had a few thoughts going through my mind. I thought I might share them with you. 

I wanted to do a quick introduction and give a brief description of what this is all about. In this episode I talk about fear, dreamers, and acting on your ideas rather than planning out every detail. I hope you will stick around :) !
