The Day I Got Engaged Was One of the Worst Days of My Life

With social media as it is, we’re constantly surrounded with the “best” of others.

The best angle.

The best outfit.

The best news.

The best attitude.

Sure, while the mainstream media might often show us the worst of others, what we pick and choose to show about ourselves through social media is often the best we have to offer.

Let’s Talk About Addiction

I don’t remember exactly why I started thinking about addiction last week, but over the years I’ve noticed that most people don’t understand it. Even addicts fail to understand it themselves, and spend years addressing the wrong issue.

Be aware as you read this that I don’t like the word “addict”, as I feel it’s a poor way to define somebody with so many other qualities. But I’ll be using it in this post to make it easier to refer to those with an addiction.
