Getting Back To You

An original poem addressing that it's ok to "reset" when not feeling like yourself. You are always worth the extra work.

Hey Readers,

I know that sometimes it can be a struggle to really place emphasis on taking care of yourself. There can be many different ways to "getting back" to you. What I mean by that is, there is something you recognize within you that just doesn't fit or feel right. There are changes that have shifted your perspective. I've mentioned that change isn't always bad. However, when it takes away from who you are instead of adding positively, there's nothing wrong with setting extra time aside for yourself. Do things or seek positive ways of attaining a healthier version of who you are. May all of the best vibes find you and help you grow. I hope this reaches someone who needs it. Take care!


There was a time of understanding

In oneself and direction

There was a time of knowing

You could get back to you

But getting back to you can take work

It can be hard

You may stumble and fall

But getting back to you

Is the best feeling of them all

Thinking of resting your worries is best

Always remember that no one can walk the journey quite like you

No one can talk about your story quite like you

No one can live your life quite like you

If you like where you are, be proud of that and let no one take it away from you

If you desire change, be persistent in that and let no one, still, try to strip that away

You can read all of the textbooks

The essays

The narratives

But in the end, it's getting back to you

That is the most important and essential

Person because

There's only one of you

There may be some people out there who also

Share similarities in character or stories

However, they aren't carbon copies

There's a unique set of qualities

Money simply cannot buy

To recreate you

Getting back to you can be hard

But as long as you take your time

And feel comfortable in your journey

You can always become a better version of yourself

There is never a "right" or "wrong" way

To get back to you

Be the you that you always wanted to be

There is never a wrong time it's true

For getting back to you

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
