Look at my cool new coffee cup

I got this cool new coffee cup. I love coffee. It's so delicious. And it keeps me going all day long. How could you not love coffee? It's so amazing! I need more. I love to drink it all day long.

I just sip it throughout the day. I love the taste. I love everything about coffee. Thank God for the brew, the cup of Joe. The glorious drink of the gods.

I got this cool new coffee cup. It has some funny writing on it. I love drinking out of these official coffee cups. It helps me be more productive and focus on my work.

A good cup helps you

Doesn't everyone focus better when they have their favorite cup or mug? I also have this reusable coffee cup with a lid on it, I really love that one.

I sprained my ankle (blog)

I sprained my ankle. It sucked. Thankfully, I'm almost better…thank God. I have been resting a lot and taking it easy…trying not to walk on it so much. It has been healing very nicely. Having this type of injury sucks because it puts a damper on your plans.

How to heal a sprained ankle

You have to just take it easy in order for it to properly heal. Which can take a while sometimes. You have to be very careful.

I made this vlog talking about what happened. I hate it when something like this happens. Because I'm a very active person, and I don't like being slowed down in my daily life. This is just one of those reminders to be careful and take care of your body.

A spiritual meaning?

Everything happens for a reason. Maybe I sprained my ankle to just remind me to slow down and take it easy, who knows.

Sometimes life has these little ways of telling you to slow down and stop trying to do so much. We have to listen to the signs.

My soul is tired (blog post)

Really tired right now. Trying to find the strength to keep going. Just need to stay positive. Things aren't so bad. I have to remember that. Just a quick vlog. Hope you enjoy it. Just getting some things off my chest. Everyone needs that sometimes. We all do.

Getting things off your chest is such a huge stress relief. I get really depressed sometimes. I just need someone to vent to.

What helps me feel better

Making YouTube videos or blog posts really helps. I also just write things down on my computer sometimes.

It's healthy to let things off your chest. It's stress relief. I hope you guys enjoy this video. Sometimes you feel like it's hard to keep going, but you have to try and put one foot in front of the other.

That's the best way to live

Just moving forward an inch at a time. Crawl if you must, but keep moving forward. But it is okay to have downtime and just go through depression. Nobody is happy all the time. It's not about being perfect, it's just about trying your best and being happy with what you have. That's all you can really do in life. I hope this post helped you in some way.

i need to let off stress (blog post)

I have a lot of stress. I need to let it out. It's not good to carry all that around. The holidays stressed me out. It will be over soon. I love the holiday season, though, even though it's stressful.

Too much stress is bad.

I love the Christmas spirit. It's pretty awesome. I spend a lot of time alone these days. I don't know if I'll spend Christmas alone or not. I guess we'll see.

Relaxing

I'm enjoying some downtime, not really doing much. Just relaxing. It's good for you to relax and take care of yourself.

Finally getting my YouTube channel going…I have a few videos up now. It's going pretty great :). Going to try to blog more.

Breaks are good

I need to learn to just stop doing so much. I'm constantly working and doing stuff online, or just trying to do too much in general.

If I could learn to relax more, I'd be a lot happier. That is truly the way to a good life, I think we can all agree on that. Too much stress is bad for us.

I'm having an awesome friday night (blog)

Just sitting here listening to it rain. It's Friday night. What's better than a thunderstorm on a Friday night?

The stars truly have to align to make that happen. I am so grateful. I couldn't ask for a better evening. It's just so nice with the window open, watching TV. listening to the rainfall.

It is rather cold outside, but that's OK. I don't mind. I'm just glad to be home...I'm just really grateful for everything right now.

Thanksgiving was yesterday, but I'm still feeling the gratitude vibes.

Friday is something to be grateful for

Just look around you! Life is full of blessings, left and right. You just have to recognize what is already there.

I am building my new YouTube channel. It is a lot of work. Blogging is a lot less stressful, to be honest.

I will always be a blogger first and foremost.

But I do love making videos too

Blogging is actually like therapy for me. It literally is.

I get so many things off my chest. Anyway, I'm off to watch some more TV. Thank you for reading…have an awesome weekend!

Thanksgiving..a little different this year

Well, it's midnight, which means it's no longer Thanksgiving. But now it's Friday…woohoo! The funny thing is, Thanksgiving this year was a little different…because literally, nobody invited me over to their house.

That's the first time in a while that nobody has.

It felt strange

As grateful as I am for all my blessings...I have to admit, that really hurt a lot.

The fact that NOBODY wanted to spend the holiday with me. Wow. Honestly…it is what it is. It just showed me that I'm not as important to some people as I thought I was.

At the end of the day, we have ourselves, and maybe a couple other people if we're lucky. But there will be days when you have nobody but yourself.

You have to be there for yourself

It's strange when you barely have any family left…and hardly any friends left as well.

I am truly a loner. I've been that way most of my life...but I used to have more people in my life. I just have to accept the loneliness as a gift. And appreciate the handful of people who are still in my life.

All that aside...I am really grateful for everything the Lord has blessed me with. There's a quote by the Buddha.."When you realize how perfect everything is…you'll tilt your head back and laugh at the sky."

I went for a nice walk outside (blog post)

I got a nice walk to the store…it was great. I live right close to the store (Walmart) so it's very easy to walk to.

But it's still enough walking to where it's a great amount of exercise when you walk there and back.

It's probably like a half mile there and back or something. I do it now and then…it also saves gas and saves the environment!

I had a reason

Today I only went because I wanted a couple bottles of soda. I love soda. I drink diet, so it's not as bad for you.

Going for a nice walk is always great

They actually did a study where diet soda isn't really bad for you, it just has a bad reputation, but that's not really backed by science from what I understand.

On another note, yesterday I found this pair of pants that had been missing…it's one of my favorite pairs of pants!

Hate that I do this

I have a bad habit of losing clothes. They usually get buried underneath a pile of clothes. But when I find them, it's great!

I started a new YouTube channel. I'm not sure if I'm going all the way with it...I'm going to wait and see what happens with the new rules.

Eggs, toast and coffee (is one of my favorite breakfasts)

That's one of my favorite breakfasts ever. It's so simple and easy to make. Just an egg, 2 pieces of toast, and some coffee.

It's pretty light, but it fills you up enough to get you going. And of course, eggs are super healthy. If I'm in a hurry to eat, I'll just cook the egg in the microwave.

I usually drink instant coffee too

I'm a convenience type of guy. I like things to be as easy as possible.

But something about coffee goes excellent with eggs and toast.

That breakfast looks amazing

Even just coffee and toast is a great snack, I love it.

It seems like on the days when I eat a good breakfast, I have the best days and get more done. A lot of days, though, I will fast until the afternoon and just skip breakfast.

Go without breakfast

It's a great, easy way to fast if you're into that.

Fasting has a ton of health benefits. Although it is hard to do, fasting can take you really far with losing weight and with your health in general.

But typically, I eat throughout the day

Anyway, it's Saturday here…not sure what I'm doing today, but we'll see!

Here's another post I did about going for a walk.

Having a good friday night (blog post)

It's Friday night...I'm super excited. I'm not sure what I'm doing yet this weekend, but I'm just glad it's the weekend.

You know that feeling you get when the weekend comes around. I had a pretty good day. Got a few things done.

A great quote

I saw a quote that was excellent…it said "If you focus on what you have you'll always have more" or something like that.

That's one of the best quotes I've heard about the law of attraction. This stuff really works, you guys. Just count your blessings.

Abundance

You will always end up having more…just be thankful. Gratitude is what life is all about.

Here's another quote I posted, by the way, hope you like it.

It's weird not making youtube videos (blog)

It's kind of weird not being a YouTube video maker anymore. But at the same time, I feel a lot of relief. Why do I feel relief, you might ask?

I love YouTube.

Because it was super stressful. It was one of the most stressful things I've ever done. I do miss making videos, but I am much better off health-wise without the added stress and pressure.

Maybe I'll make videos again

I can enjoy YouTube now from a viewer standpoint...like I always used to do.

Now I'm remembering the fun of it…instead of viewing it as work.

It's much more fun just watching videos and having fun with it.

UPDATE 2022:

I am a YouTuber again since making this post. I think I made this post right after deleting my YouTube channel.

But shortly after writing this post, I started a new channel and started over. I missed making videos...I truly love it, just like blogging.

I will keep making videos and blogging. Both of these things I greatly love and will keep doing them, they bring so much enjoyment into my life. I'm very blessed and grateful to have both of them. Thanks for reading, guys.
