Meaning of Life (DP#258)
As a Christian, I believe love should be a reoccurring theme for everything we do. This can look differently, depending on each of our own talents and interests. Maybe you are a present force in your family and friend circles with good advice and honesty through and through. Perhaps you are taking part in a…

Annoying Phrase (DP#257)
I would say depending on the context, YOLO or You Only Live Once takes the cake for a phrase that annoys me. It seems like the majority of the time I am hearing somebody unironically say this, they are about to partake in some class of stupidity. Whether it be downing shots, taking drugs, or…

The Perfect Road Trip (DP#256)
Preparation is key when planning any sort of trip, let alone one in which you are using your own vehicle. Depending on how long and how far this adventure takes you, odds are something is going to cause a hiccup. Being adequately prepared can turn a potential catastrophe into a more manageable headache. Having the…

Strength Out of the Past (DP#255)
This is tough because I struggle to consider myself strong even now. This is not me saying I am weak necessarily, but due to my belief that the true strength comes from the Lord. Without Him, I would not have gotten this far. That being said, I do remember back when I was going semi-regularly…

Its the Simple Things (DP#255)
As a Southerner, I definitely find simple joy in food. When I am having a rough morning and someone hands me a small muffin or an iced coffee, that instantly makes my day a tad bit brighter. Knowing there are some good leftovers waiting for me in the fridge once I get home, the excitement…

Movies I Could Rewatch for the First Time (DP#254)
♦Lord of the Rings♦ – The first time I watched the trilogy all the way through, I was blown away by the music, visuals, and battle scenes. The overarching themes of perseverance and life was absolutely world changing for me. ♦Christopher Robin♦ – The 2018 live action remake with Ewan McGregor was just about the…

Keeping Motivation to Learn (DP#253)
It is very easy to lose motivation when I am learning a new skill. This could be related to a job or a hobby but if I let myself feel dumb when I am not instantly able to do something correctly, I want to give up lol. Being able to learn at my own pace,…

Surprising Book (DP#252)
I read ‘Full Tilt’ by Neal Shusterman many years ago back in high school. It was one of the few books that was recommended by Kolton. Not being a big reader himself, I typically pay attention when he takes the time to read and recommend books. It is a shorter YA horror about these young…

Fitness Routines (DP#251)
The most important thing when it comes to fitness of any kind is consistency, especially if you are starting out with little to no experience. The first time I set foot in a gym outside of college, was nerve-racking since I was worried about not knowing what machines to do, how much weight I could…

Overrated Classic (DP#250)
I am probably going to get so much hate for this but I believe Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is completely overrated. ♦Spoiler Alert♦ All the unnecessary drama associated with marrying somebody solely due to money and status, while ignoring your true feelings is too much for me to have patience for. On top of…

Underrated People in History (DP#249)
This was an interesting prompt that I could not say I knew too many people off the top of my head. I decided to do some research, and the following are some of my findings. ♦♦♦ There are literally so many lesser known, or even unknown pioneers throughout history, it is insane.

Benefits of Minimalism (DP#248)
Personally, I would say there are way more benefits to minimalism than detriments. For one, you will ultimately spend less money on crap that has little to no purpose. Your mentality when shopping will evolve to look beyond the shiny and pretty traps of over consumerism. Instead you will notice things that may have multiple…

Child’s Obsession (DP#247)
When my sister and I were children, we both went through several expensive obsessions. Two of the more notable collections we had were Webkinz stuffed animals, and Littlest Pet Shop animals. The Webkinz craze was all over the place back in the early 2000’s – 2010’s. Basically, you would buy these overpriced stuffed animals at…

Interesting Local Custom (DP#246)
One of the more interesting customs I have lived around while being in Fort Wort, is seated in its rich Western culture. The cattle drive that occurs down in the Stockyards twice daily, was one of the more wilder things I saw as a child. I remember when the whole second grade went on a…
-

My Ideal Life (DP#245)
The end all, be all for me is just finding somewhere that I love while doing something I love. The specific details can change and do change everyday it seems. Ultimately, Kolton and I would love to be traveling around, taking pictures and doing writing of some sort. It would be cool to stay in…

Favorite Concert (DP#244)
Back in 2018 or 2019, Kolton and I went to a Jon Bellion concert in Irving. It was a part of his Glory Sound Prep tour. While I hate the fact I have no clear pictures of it, it was hands down the best concert. During his rendition of Blu, he was wearing the uniform…

Best Things to do in Fort Worth (DP#243)
Living in the outskirts of Fort Worth, there is truly a ton of stuff to do depending on your interests. There are plenty of walking and biking trails going down the Trinity River and the various parks spread around the place. There are also plenty of places downtown like Sundance Square and the Stockyards. If…

Super Power! (DP#242)
One superpower I wish I had would be the ability to transfer emotions through my writing. This concept was in the book The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor. Basically, the writer could ‘charm’ their letter to have a specific effect on whoever reads it. For example, you could instill certain spells that would calm…

Potentially Haunted Grandparent’s House? (DP#241)
Speaking of unsolved mysteries in my lifetime, my Papa and Nana’s house was always a bit on the creepy side. It is important to note that this house was very small, like two bed and one bathroom early 1900’s small. The foundation was extremely messed up so the floor would creak and pop with every…

Eternal Moment (DP#240)
Its not really a singular moment, but the time Kolton and I hung out in this spa in Manitou Springs, Colorado is a night I wish I could at least revisit whenever I wanted. The spa was in this multi-floor building so it overlooked all the other buildings in the town. Because it was later…
