Tweet Have you ever had conflict among the things you value most in life? Values that have their own personalities and their own agendas, and begin to take you out of the equation. Recently, I’ve been running into this issue. While I value relationships with friends and family, it’s been conflicting with my value of

Empathy, Truth, and Hope
Tweet I would say that I’m a man of principles. There are some rules and morals I try to live my life by, if just to be a good person and to be the best I can for others. Well, it’s not so much a set of rules as it is an intent that I

A Love for Taiwanese Dramas
Tweet I have a slight obsession with watching Taiwanese dramas. If you’ve never had an opportunity to watch one, then let me attempt to explain. They’re not quite as dramatic as Days of Our Lives or those dramas on Telemundo, but they’re a tad more dramatic than Gossip Girl. They’re silly, predictable, and frustrating. But,

A Roundup of Holiday Movies
Tweet Happy holidays, everyone! Christmas may be just around the corner, but Hanukkah is already at hand, so I’ve been celebrating by watching some of my favorite holiday movies. And don’t get started on that “War on Christmas” crap – I say “holiday” movies because many of them aren’t Christmas movies, not because I’m trying

Friends Wherever You Are
Tweet I spent this past weekend among great friends. The holiday season always seems to bring people together, and I couldn’t be happier for it. The funny thing is (well not funny, but surprising, considering my family seriously thought I’d grow up and buy a house next door) is that all of the people I

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends
Tweet I suppose I can’t speak for everyone, but people usually need someone or somewhere to turn when things get tough. Whether there’s someone we can talk to, a movie or song that cheers us up when things are looking bad, or some sort of security blanket, we all have our ways of coping. As

A Heartfelt Thank You
Tweet I can be pretty dramatic. The people who truly know me will probably chuckle when they read that sentence because they’re imagining some time when I surprised them with my heightened level of dramatics. So, for the ones who are aware of my dramatic state of mind and Hollywood-like reactions, I want to say

All I Need is a BFFL (Best Friend For Life)
Tweet I’m so lucky. There a handful of people in my life I know I could always turn to for help. Some of these people are with me every day and others I haven’t seen in quite some time. Regardless of how long it’s been since we’ve grabbed dinner, spoke on the phone or communicated

Stories Are Inspiration
Tweet Did you ever hear the story about the stranded starfish? There are a couple of variations to it, but the one that stands out to me is where the little girl is the main character. She’s walking along the beach side and picking up the stranded starfish. One by one, she throws them into

Inspiration Comes From Within
Tweet It’s possible to draw inspiration from all sorts of places. Maybe there’s some powerful quote that keeps you going. Maybe your favorite song pumps you up. Maybe you’re even one of those people who can gain motivation from a poster with a nice picture and a comforting phrase. For me, however, inspiration is something
