Letting Go
Sometimes the hardest thing one must do is let go. Whether it is a relationship, friendship, or even a family member. I can admit that it’s easier said than done. Sometimes we love people who are just toxic to us, and no matter what we do, we cannot change their ways. I’m not saying to change them into someone else. What I mean is that the people that are toxic are the ones that use poisons to escape reality, such as pills, alcohol, coke, heroin, etc. They must be the ones that want to change. I learned this the hard way. I thought that I could show the people I love that they are so much more, but I felt like failed because they don’t want to change. They like the poisons they consume, and because of this I had to do what is best for me. For once in my life, I was able to say no and to say goodbye even though it was hard for me to do so.

Forgiveness
When I think about forgiveness, I think of a quote from the movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman by Tyler Perry. Myrtle: “When somebody hurts you they take power over you, if you don't forgive them then they keeps the power. Forgive him baby and after you forgive him, forgive yourself.”

How I Lost 20 lbs with Cannabis
About four years ago, I was having a hard time trying to lose weight. The funny part of this story was the fact that I use to be a fitness coach for two years but due to stress from that workplace, I managed to gain 20 pounds. It is true that stress can either help you lose weight or gain it and with my luck, I gained. The stress came from my boss. She wasn’t a nice person and would make fun of our clients that were trying to lose weight. I took it upon myself to make our clients feel like they belong but I had to leave because that place was making my life harder and I didn’t want to continue to gain weight.
