Defeating Your Demons

When everything felt as though it was falling apart, she began to give up on herself. She no longer felt that happiness was an option for her. She was so split inside that she did not know how to fathom the idea of being happy. She had dreams at one point, but those dreams were significantly defeated by demons. She felt as though life was granting her this new dark corner to run away and hide to, only to never come back. She did not know how to come back from this. She wanted to run away, so far away that no one could chase her and bring her back. She was ready to go until she finally discovered new happiness that was brewing within her. She woke up and realized that these demons that had been tearing her apart were only in her head, and they only wanted to see her fall to the ground. If she fell, they would have won. They would have captured her happiness, and they would never let her feel happy again. She was almost past her breaking point, but she was gifted a new strength to rise above these barriers. She was not going to let this destroy her; rather, she was going to let this strengthen her into the inevitable. She got up, seized the day, and never looked back to this dark side. She struck her inner demons significantly, and she was not going to let this get the best of her. She came back from this so greatly that anyone who ever doubted her began to doubt themselves instead.

...

You are capable of more than you think. You have the ability to find happiness, to be successful, to show anyone who ever doubted you up. You have the power to go as far as you ever have imagined before. No one said it was ever easy, but you have the power to beat your demons. Do not be afraid of what might happen, and start embracing the path you are on right now, the path that is leading to your future success. You will never find the answers you are searching for until you gain the courage to get out there and do it. Do not let people tear you down, and do not tear yourself down. You have the power to do whatever it is that drives you, for this, is the beginning of the rest of your life- start living it. To anyone who ever doubts you, do not let them destroy the passions that you most desire. Do not let them win. They do not want you to become more powerful than themselves. Not everyone is going to agree with the choices you make, but you are the only one who is going to appreciate it completely in the end. If you stay on your own side, then you have already won.

In Cleveland, it's All or Nothing.

October baseball is the most thrilling, chilling, and adrenaline-pumping time of the year. The Cleveland Guardians (formerly known as the Indians) have had their fair share of postseason play over the years, but have not won the World Series since 1948.  For many Clevelanders, postseason baseball is everything. There's no greater feeling than being at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario, where you never know what's going to happen. Every game, every pitch thrown, every time up to bat- it's all just a game of chance. These players have been working their butts off to be here, to show the fans, especially after this roller-coaster season, that they want it all. They have put in the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears to show up and bring life back Cleveland has been looked down upon for many years, for many different reasons. The one thing about Cleveland is that we are the underdogs, and we don't go down without a fight. Like David and Goliath, the Guardians have gone up a...

The Eve of Everything

Every eve of the new year, we are faced with this sentimental thought: what did I achieve this past year? Every person has a different list with different goals, different memories, and different outcomes. We all experienced the year, but each one of us is on a different path, experiencing something different each day. Some of us lost loved ones, and everything crumbled beneath our feet like an unexpected earthquake. Some of us graduated, got married, and had kids. Some of us experienced breakups that either crushed us or gave us our life back. Regardless of what you experienced this past year, please know that your journey is not going to be the same as everyone else.  God is literally the author of all of our lives. We are our own main characters. We will go through our own plots, experience different conflicts, face highs and lows, and in time, reach our endings. Everything we are experiencing is like a journey we're destined to travel through. It's not a race, but a journe...

In the Blink of Christmas Morning

It’s 6:00 a.m. The house is quiet, everyone still asleep, but you burst from your bed with excitement. You rush down the hall to your parents’ room, screaming and cheering until they wake up. Then you sprint to the living room, where the presents sit waiting beneath the tree. Soon, everyone is gathered together, tearing open wrapping paper. Your dad is recording every moment on the video camera, your mom beaming with joy, smiling ear to ear as she watches you open your gifts. All is right with the world. You blink, and suddenly, twenty years have passed, and everything is different. You no longer care about the presents under the tree; you are simply grateful to be surrounded by family. There is no rushing anymore, just going with the flow. You do not worry about how much food is on your plate, and you go back for seconds because it is all just that good. The day slips by in the blink of an eye, and before you know it, you are back home, lying in your bed. ... The years have passed fa...
