Sadness and/or depression is a touchy subject. Yet, it’s a topic that is now running wild in everyone’s households. Many people, along with myself, have either encountered symptoms of depression or know someone who is dealing with it.

‘Change’ is a word that many people don’t like to hear. At times, I find myself running from it. But I’ve come to realize that to elevate to the next level, whether it’s a new job, new relationship, new environment or lifestyle, some things just can’t remain the same.

He also mentioned something about accountability, and how we often fail to reflect upon our own actions when making decisions.
I’ve always thought a good outfit had to ‘match.’ When I say ‘match,’ I mean the pattern or colors had to be coordinated a certain way to avoid a noticeable contrast.
