COGNI.VOL...

done a lot of growing up during my time away.

one of the more recent lessons I've learned parentheses I'm still learning life lessons at 28 parentheses.  this lesson I will take to my grave but I will share with everyone who cares enough to read or to listen.

valuing yourself is severely underrated

sidebar I feel like some of the best quotes for life lessons are simple as f***

I feel like I've always viewed the opinions and the (generally) lives of other people more than I value my own opinion and what I have going on. Don't get me wrong I I am a selfish human being. I will do what's necessary for me 9 out of 10 times. But sometimes in this social media landscape in this small world it's easy to get lost in the lives of others. The Computer was meant to be a window to something that is unknown. Nowadays the computer is used to tell, tally, record, document, show, and tell one's life.

When ungreatful, individuals like myself look into the windows into other people's lives we can use it as a vehicle to drive the emotions that is jealousy, envy, and ungratefulness forward, deeper into our own lives.


I remember reading something that stated that's when you are in your 20's you look to compare yourself to those you grew up around as a way to gauge your progress in life.

How easy is this to do today!?!!!

There is Facebook, Instagram, Twitter n shitt. and everyone wants to be mini Socrates or play around like they are celebrities n gurus n shit. it's hard to recognize that people are going through s*** just like you are.

I don't think I am where I am supposed to be in life. I am 28 years old and I am in a career/job is only valuable as a stepping stone to something greater. Before this job though, I was unemployed for a year and a half.I kind of got jaded and I needed to occupied with what people thought of me.


My birthday was weird, I cared more about peoples reaction to my birthday then actually planning something major for it myself. Yo!!! I was at work expecting a big fanfare just like people do for other people's birthdays but it didn't happen. More than three fourths of my training class either I didn't know or didn't care. I was so tight , it was pathetic and embarrassing that I cared that much. My saving grace was that I had enough pride to not show that it bothered me.

Although it was a bummer, it brought forth a valuable lesson : you can't let people make you; you have to make yourself. one must value themselves...think about it, if you let others value you then they rule you.


treat yourself, cheat on others with yourself, love yourself.


now more than ever its important as fuck
