“They say time is money but really, it’s not. If we ever go broke, time is all we got”
– J. Cole on “Mr. Nice Watch

As we get older, responsibilities seem to increase. And if you’re an ambitious person, it can be difficult to juggle it all. When it’s like that, finding time to do it all can be difficult. So how do you do it? Do you sacrifice? Push yourself harder? Or something else?

Before I get ahead though, welcome! Welcome to the *ehem* ultra late October 2018 Opinions Column. This is where I talk about whatever is on my mind. For those that’re new to the site, welcome! And for those returning, welcome BACK! And with that, let’s talk about the importance of finding time.

Balance Beam

Sometimes, I feel like I’m juggling way too much. It’s something I’ve said before but I feel it more than ever now. Between music, art, the people around me, and so much more, there’s a ton on my plate. I’m doing my best to balance it all. While I’m balancing, I also feel like I can fall off any moment. Like, if I don’t balance it all, I might collapse. It’s a real feeling…and the reason I titled this month’s Opinions Column “Balance Beam.”

What up world? What is popping???? Welcome one and all to the kinda-sorta-late Opinions Column lol. I won’t even front, I’m mad late with this and I don’t have excuses. I can tell you WHY I’m late, but again…they’ll just come off as excuses and I don’t wanna get into that. I will accept it lol. So yes, for those that’re new to the site, this is the spot where I talk about what’s on my mind. For those that’re returning, welcome back! And with the intro now a thing of the past, let’s talk about the balancing act that is life.

“I’m on the pursuit of happiness, and I know
everything that shine, ain’t always gonna be gold
I’ll be fine, once I get it
I’ll be good”

– Kid Cudi on “Pursuit of Happiness

They say when it rains, it pours. I’ve also heard that when it shines, it blinds. Well, that pretty much sums up the month that was July. There should really be one saying that encompasses both. Hands down, July was one of the most rollercoaster months EVER for me. Actually, that’s a consistent theme in my life, but it was more evident than ever in July. It was crazy. It was dramatic. And yes, it definitely pushed me to the limit. I’m not even sure how it happened, but I’m glad to be in August. That’s really weird to say, especially since my birthday’s in July (and I always look forward to July). But yes, let me tell you all about it.
