Critical errors to stay clear for on your weight loss journey.

Good luck with your journey 👍. You got this.

Everybody who has struggled with their weight at one point have decided at some point in their life that they want to make a change. Trust me, I have been there and still there to this day. Even though I have lost over a hundred lbs in the past year and a half. The journey is not over, and the struggle continues, but so does my drive. What also comes with my drive I have also made a lot of mistakes in my journey. But you live and you learn.

TRUSTING THE SCALE

Every morning when you first wake up after a long day of working out and dieting. You are excited to see the progress, and to your disappointment, you don’t see the results that you were hoping for, and that sends you on a trail of depression and sadness because you didn’t hit your goal. But here is the honest truth. You are making your goals, you are working, and the scale is not keeping up with your muscle gain. Do work yourself to death where you hate your journey and give up. I almost did that a couple of times but then decided to leave the scale behind, and it was the best decision that I made on this journey.

NOT GIVING YOUR BODY TIME TO REST

You are in a mode where the light switch never turns off even after the signs of exhaustion, but you have to hit those goals, right? Sure, you can achieve them, but you can also hit an injury from the wear and tear on your joints and muscles you continuously ignore on a daily basis. Sure, you can go that route, and / or you can take the time, relax, and enjoy taking some time off from the grind and rest and come back stronger. I decided to ignore the signs of lower back pain until my luck ran out and injured my lower back, where I couldn’t get out of bed for almost a week. Those damn squats kept calling me and calling, and I answered with multiple lower back issues and gained some serious weight back. So do not ignore those warning signs.

AND THIS IS CONNECTED TO THE LAST ERROR. WORKING OUT INJURED.

Like i added in my section, working out with a injury is a critical mistake that can send you back…..way back and you really dont want to go back, do you?

STARVING YOURSELF

Yes, it is true you work out more than you put in calories. It is a big step to weight loss, sure, but imagine thinking you could get back up and do it all over again with no fuel in your body. See how far a car can get with no fuel. Test faith and see what it brings to you when you have energy. I bet it would not go very well for you.

Maybe these lessons might not work for you, and you have your own set of rules you set up for yourself, or maybe somebody else has better input that you may dive into more and that is cool too but at the end of the day, you want to be happy whether that is losing the weight for a image change, health choice, challenging yourself, impressing people. Whatever it is, I say good luck with this journey because that is what this is what you are going on, and I wish you the best of luck. Do not lose yourself and your goals. If you gain weight, remember you can also burn it off with dedication, determination, consistency, and a good mindset. You got this, and I know you will achieve those goals.

If you are reading this and what to share your goals, achievements, set of rules, or whatever your journey brought to you, if it was good, great, or bad. Lessons you learned and passed along to others. Thank you for taking the time to read and good luck on your journey.

Why you can achieve your weight loss goals in your journey.

You will develop this trait in your journey.

It’s no secret that most people usually have the same common goals when the new year starts and that is to lose weight and get into the best shape of their lives. Trust me I was there two years ago and I am still on it to this very day. There will be very sore days, long aching afternoons and you will stress yourself over what you can and cannot eat, and let me tell you it is part of the life-changing journey. Whether you choose to read this or not, one way or the other something will trigger you to follow through on this. When I started on my journey I was 340 lbs, and never motivated to do anything. Never had the energy to play with my daughter. Played madden all day when not working. I was a useless mess. At least that is what I saw myself when I looked in the mirror. I didn’t recognize myself. Sure I have tried this journey many times in the past but they all ended up being the same. I gave up.

For failed attempts I was consistent, I didn’t stay on my path on this journey. I tried to shortcut and make excuses and that is where I failed myself, lying to myself, giving up on myself, and telling myself that I could do this another time. I would make excuses for myself for not working out, and not eating right. I was failing every step of the way. Bad decision after a bad decision was piling up on me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. My mind was not right either. Being addicted to junk food and being lazy because it was just so easy. That is where my consistency was at. Being lazy and eating big macs and taco bell. So you are probably what changed?

No supplement was going to put energy in my body, and no infomercial late at night was going to motivate me it was going to be me and me alone. I was going to have to dig deep inside myself and find that energy I once had in myself many years ago. I decided it was time to change my habits and change my lifestyle around. I was challenged by a dear friend who I haven’t seen in many years. He was in the position that I was but when we saw each other again he was in great shape and a more positive person to be around, I wanted that and he told me you can have that if you can find the energy and time for it. And since I work from home and have much more time than most. I should take advantage of it. But after saying all of that he doubted me. Then he challenged me and decided to accept the challenge. And so it began.

I have always been an early bird, and when I woke up early it was time to play madden but now it was time to do an hour of yoga before I went to the gym. The first couple of months it was hard as hell. By the time I got to the gym, I was lucky to get in 30 minutes. And half the time I was just looking around lost trying to figure out how to use most of the equipment again. But then I decided I was done looking around and it was time to work. Get back to basics, build a gameplan and get consistent and that is exactly what I did. I finally found the switch. After months of working out and eating healthy, I was seeing progress in the mirror and it motivated me more. As time went on in the gym, 30 minute’s turned into an hour, an hour turned into 2 hours then it turned into 3 hours. 3 am yoga turned into yoga and pilates then the gym. And I couldn’t stop, didn’t want to stop, and still haven’t. Many people at the age of 37 feel too old but for me, I feel like I am in my 20s again. After a year and a half of this, I am very happy and blessed and very lucky to have this chance to fix myself. Not many people get out of the slump that they are in.

You are the main ingredient in your journey.

This is not a blog to boast about my achievements in my weight loss journey, I am telling you this because it can be done. If I did this, you can do this. You just need energy, consistency, hard work, and strength. All. traits you already have and if you have lost them, well this journey will help you find them in yourself. Do not give up on yourself. Find your plan and focus and achieve those weight loss goals. To anybody that you know that is going through this and need help. Be friendly and help them, encourage them. We all need help. Also if you read this share your story and experience. Until then thank you for visiting and taking the time to read this and good luck on your journey. Until then Goodluck.

Dicovering your inner strength

1. Discovering new challenges

If you think you are weak and considering giving up on yourself, I must tell you that would be a mistake on your part. Trust me, I have gone through my pains, my struggles, my defeats, my misery, and my pain, and will continue to go through that every day as I go through my weight loss journey. I let my excuses and weaknesses get in the way of my goal. But one day, I looked in the mirror and told myself, “No more excuses.” It was time to really work. Put in work, do the work, and stop complaining about the work. And damn it was when I rediscovered my inner strength underneath my weak spirit. My spirit grew stronger. Now, I am not finished with my journey by a long shot. I will always be working progress just like every person on this earth. But, finding my inner strength has been the best thing for me, and I can’t tell you how much better I feel about myself. The steps I take.

1. Accepting new challenges.

2. Physically challenging myself

3. Mentally challenging myself

4. Never accepting defeat

5. Removing toxic energy.

There will be a thousand more steps you can take for your journey of inner strength, but for me, those are some of the few steps I take, and there will be more to come. You will grow, and you will learn, and you will endure to build a new you. During the height of the pandemic, I grew scared of the world. I was letting my anxiety defeat me every day. Missing out on great moments and feeling sorry for myself and just eating fast food every day. I’m sitting on my butt watching youtube clips and playing Madden all day. I was wasting away, and here was the real sad part. I had a gym membership and was doing nothing with it. One day, I talked to one of my best friends, who was helping his mom while battling throat cancer. But she kept fighting, not letting her cancer be an excuse, and we had a heart to heart talk, and she told me, “I am very concerned about your health, Devin.” She was talking to me like a concerned mom. And of course I gave her the old classic “I’ll work on it”. She looked me dead in the eyes, held my hand, and said, “No, you won’t.” It broke me because deep down, I knew she was right.

Something in my said to me, “This is your last chance,” and I kept listening to her in my mind with those words, “No, you won’t.” And kept hearing it over and over, and honestly, I got sick of it. I think she knew those words would drive me to do something, and thank goddness, she said those words. The first thing was to help with my mental health, so I seeked therapy. It was a major help. Then, I decided to use my gym membership and push myself to limit that I never thought I could reach. I wanted more; I wanted to keep pushing challenges, pushing for more, and more. I was done with fast food. I began hating my couch, lol. I just wanted to see what limits can go past.

1. 3:30 am 1 hr yoga session

2. 2 hour work out session at gym

3. Finding new challenges

4. Meditation

5. Work on new projects

6. Strict diet plan

7. Do it all over again.

8. Never give up on the goals

9. Endure punsishment and defeats

10. Learn from that punishment and defeats

A little sweat never hurt nobody, and a deafeat doesn’t mean you have to stay defeated. The struggles and losses were massive, but I wanted that, not for the excuses to give, but I wanted to learn. I didn’t mind embarrassing myself at the gym. I wanted to come back to prove myself, “I can f***ing do this.” Everyday, I told myself that and still do. I guess the reason why I am sharing this is because there are people out there going through the same struggles that I am going through, and I want to tell you and all of you. YOU CAN F***ING DO IT!!! All you have to is just get up and try.

Thank you for taking the time to read this blog, and if you have experience, please share your story, give helping tips, or just give a motivation speech. Anything for positive energy helps. But in the meantime, thank you and have a good day. Peace.

The Batman: Spoiler Free Review.

As the weekend has now passed, we sit with most likely over thousands of Batman reviews, and another review appears from the shadows. Just kidding, I write this review from the comfort of my living room. But when we saw this movie at our local theater it was a packed house. Full of fans and most likely youtuber movie critics covered in batman attire, it was a fun night to watch a new Batman rise, and I will tell you this. This movie was most definitely delivered. From the atmosphere, the music, the action, the suspense, the characters, the direction, the grimness, and, of course, The Batman.

When it was first announced that Robert Pattinson was playing Batman, I didn’t really know much about his previous work. I never watched the Twilight movies, not that I was hating on them. I just didn’t have an interest in watching, but overall, from what everybody told me about his acting, he is a really great actor and his performance as a more menacing and reckless Batman he did a very great job and cant wait to see what has for the future.

The Premise. Gotham City on a cold halloween night is caught off guard by murder of a power official in Gotham city. A man leaves a calling card with a riddle inside for a two year veteran Batman. Jim Gordan needs his help to help solve these murders and riddles, but the rest of the police force does not trust Vigilante. While Batman struggles with the Riddler murders a young Bruce Wayne struggle stuggles with family secrets that come out. Now, Bruce Wayne must overcome the demons and face the challenges, but he also needs the aid of Selena Kyle, Aka Catwoman, while he faces other enemies like Oswald Cobbelpot and Carmine Falcone.

I got to say for me personally that this was my favorite catwoman that I have ever seen on the big screen. She was very strong, slick, and loved her look, and I must admit I have a big crush on Zoe Kravitz, so I was already sold when she announced to play Catwoman and I hope at some point she gets her own spinoff. She definitely deserves it, in my opinion. Then theres

This was my favorite overall character in the movie, and it’s incredible how they turned Collin Farrell into the Penguin. I still can not reconize him when I look into the picture. He was brash, had some funny lines, and this was the penguin i always wanted to see. I know everybody loves Danny Devitos penguin, but for this, Penguin blows Batman Retuns penguin out of the water for me and can not wait to see Hbo max series.

The tone of this movie was incredible; it was very dark and grim. It almost gave me a feel.of the first Tim Burton movie while the music blended in with Nirvana gave me a Batman Returns vibe. Also, Matt Reeves direction gives this movie a slight horror tone the movie.

I loved this Riddler; he was scary, his voice, his riddles, and his presence was so creepy and fit perfectly to the movie. We all love Jim Carrey as the Riddler, but this character was in a desperate need of an upgrade, and we definitely got that for this character.

Overall Grade A+

This movie was a masterpiece for me and can not wait for a sequel. Now, am I going to say this was the best Batman movie? I am not ready to give it that crown, but with a test of time, more.views and may just become that. Now, even if you do not agree with this review, at least we can all agree on one thing. This movie is for sure better than Batman and Robin. But all jokes aside, I loved this movie, and I want to watch again, but I do not want to sit for that long again. Tell me what you thought about the movie. Your likes and dislikes. What do you want to see for a sequel, and what characters do you want to see join this new Batman universe? But thank you so much for taking your time to read this review and until next be safe and much love to my followers and readers. Have a great day.

Battle of the iconic rap groups. My review of Bone versuz 3 6 Mafia

The History

These two historic rap groups goes all the way back 26 years. I remember being a little kid, i think around 8 or 9 years and discovering Bone thugs and Harmony. First time i heard them, my first thought was the way they rapped and harmonize was the first i have ever heard that type of rap and it was beautiful. When “Thuggish Ruggish Bone first drop, that song spread fast around the bay area and we loved it. Then to find out they were from cleveland Ohio. Members “Krayzie Bone, “Wish Bone, “Layzie Bone”, “Bizzy Bone”and “Flesh-N Bone” came in on the scene with the dookie breads looking like they came from LA but to find out they came from Cleveland Ohio first we have ever heard any rappers from there while adopting had a very west coast sound to them due to the greatness of the late Eazy-E. They had hit after hit and we could not get enough of it.

Then maybe about 2 years later another group rises from “Nawf Memphis” was 3 6 mafia. “DJ Paul” “Juicy J”, Lord Infamous” (R.I.P”) “Cruncy Black” “Gangsta Boo” and “Koopsta” (R.I.P). Now before we heard 3 6, a lot of family and friends were already listening to “Brotha Lynch Hung” so the dark horror rap sound was heard around our parts but 3 6 had different sound to them. They had some buck, get crazy down south flow to them and of course we fell in love with them as well. A lot of parent were not letting their kids listen to 3 6 due to the belief that 3 6 was satanic worshippers but in my house hold anything goes lol. No i am not a satanic worshiper and i am not here to claim 3 6 mafia are worshippers themselves. Their music was to great and went hard to pass up.

Now growing up we heard the diss track called “Live By yo Rep” aimed at bone which had a lot of people talking about the beef but Bone went on to focus on making even bigger hits and 3 6 was taking over the underground rap scene. Couldn’t hate on either direction.

THE VERZUZ BATTLE

Now to start off my biggest complaint to the battle was the crowd. No energy, no wild crowd, just basically have a large group just recording everything on their phones. Not really hating on the phones but damn come alive LA you have the two biggest rap groups in front of you going to war. We needed more energy out of you. Maybe one day they will announce a rematch. Now i knew going in this battle was going to be tough for both groups. Each one countered a hit of their own from “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” to “tear Da club Up”. I was hyped, bobbing my head while watching. Get some energy in me like was a teen getting ready for a football game again and i loved it. Watching my childhood rap groups go at it made me remember why i love rap so much.

Each group had their special guests appearances which made the show even better. From “Lil Flip”, “Chamillionaire” “Lil Eazy E” the spirit of the late great “2 pac and “biggie” along with Terrance Howard was amazing. There was a lot more guests but i will let you see them for yourselves if you have not watched the show yet.

Now time address the elephant in the room and that was Bizzy scuffle with Juicy J and the little fight that broke out. I know a lot of people were upset about what happened and what “Gangsta Boo had to say about Bizzy but for me and honestly i didn’t take it serious. Some ish was said and Bizzy threw a water bottle and i think Flesh hit somebody with a mic but then both groups went backstage and hashed it out but came back and finished the show. Bizzy came back and finished the show and when they needed him he was ready and was pretty much ripping 3 6 apart in some of the battle but we all know Bizzy is one that many rappers do not want to battle.

OVERALL

This was a great show that i wish went longer and also there was a lot of hits that were not performed but i still loved the show and for me there was no winner. Both groups talked a lot.of s*** to each other but had a lot of for each other as well. Now coming in I thought Bone would edge them out but 3 6 proved that they are not second to Bone but Bone proved that even though they haven’t had a hit in years they proved that they are still Eternal and loved that about Bone. I know a lot of people were discrediting one group to make the other group look better but with these two, i don’t think you can do that. There was something else missing or i can someone and that was

One of the most underrated but yet one of the most influential rappers to ever bless the mic who passed away almost 8 years ago to this day. He was my favorite member from 3 6 mafia and if you want to listen to a great display of his skill then listen to him on “Tear Da club up thugs” “CrazyNDalasDayz” album. His flow would have been a great counter to Bizzy bone. R.I.P to the Scarecrow.

I hope to see a rematch with a different crowd, more hits, more guests and no fight break outs and maybe we will get a clear winner. Let me know who you think won the battle and let me know what city should host the rematch if there will be one.

My overall grade i give the show a solid B but thats just me. Tell me what you thought of the show and tell me your favorite song from each group. Until then thank you for visiting this blog. Until then be safe and have a happy holiday. Peace

Milk Crate Challenge, My thoughts.

First people wanted to drink bleach, then it was licking donuts then it turned into licking ice cream and putting it back in the freezer so someone else can get sick. Just when you thought people couldn’t get anymore ridiclous, duh, duh duh “The Milk Crate Challenge” appears and I must tell you, its kind of funny to see. Not for the injuries but what people will do, the injuries and consequences people will do for internet clout. Now i have actually seen people go on this challenge and succeed without any injuries but I think there is a higher percantage of people who didnt make it.

Busted ribs, cracked sternums, broken backs, dislocated joints and fingers and etc. I have seen the injuries, the drops, the painful screams and even the cheers with little reward for their efforts and why would they? Broken bones is not cool and having millions of people laughing at you from their computers and cell phones because of the injuries is just another additon of pain. All of your followers will laugh and then move on to the next trend while you are recovering in the hospital (if you are lucky to get to a hospital).

The reward to this challenge if you make it without falling. Well i am not sure what the reward is. Probably more followers, maybe cash if somebody bet you. It could be a variety of rewards but you have to ask yourself when you are all the way up on the milk crates, losing your balance, sweat beading from your head with eyes locked in on you. You must ask yourself, “Is the reward worth it”. But by the time you ask that question it might already be too late when you are falling and you land stomach first on to a crate and the next question you are asking your is “why did i do this dumb s**t?” The many questions that go on in my head about this challenge but the biggest question about this challenge is where are people getting all of these crates?

Well if you are one of these people who are doing this challenge, well I hope you make it without any severe injuries but if you do, well you know what they say “You knew thr dangers of the job when you took it”. But in a serious note, do not accept this challenge. Kids be safe and do not accept this challenge.

The battle with covid weight

If you are struggling to beat the covid weight you put on, I have a news flash for you, if you are putting in the work you are winning already. The reason why I say that is if you are putting in the time, the work, and the effort with a clear focused mind you will be this weight. Before covid hit I was 240 lbs, lean with decent health only issues was my asthma. Then covid hit but that didn’t stop me from training. I just used a mask and fought through it. Then my gym closed for a couple of months. I used covid as an excuse not to work out. After that I blew up to my highest weight of my life. A womping 335 lbs. Sitting on the couch, playing madden eating Mcdonalds almost everyday along with Popeyes and etc.

I was destroying myself everday and night just sitting, being lazy, not working on my writing, letting my mind and brain rot away, wasting away time and effort that I could be doing something useful for my body. But I let covid get the best of me. I used that excuse every day just to avoid jogging outside. I became a complete embarrasment, I was very hard on myself but I continued to be weak. I would look at myself in the mirror and not even reconize myself. I couldnt believe after all the hard work I put in to get in decent shape I destroyed it all.

Then one day it just hit me. Covid was not my enemy, I was my worst enemy and I had to re-learn everything again that helped me get back into shape. I had to ask myself everytime when I drove past popeyes or mcdonalds “Do I need this?” And before I let the excuses come in and convince me that I did need the fast food fixing, I would answer “No”. Eneough was enough and I wanted to win this war. I went back yoga, weight training, and every workout I can possibly find without a gym being open. No more excuses.

I decided not to be hard on myself anymore because beating myself was not helping me at all. I also followed the great words of Master P aka Percy Miller. He once said “I dont take losses, I take lessons” and thats the way I look at this period in my life. Now I wont be showing any before and after pics of myself since I am not much of the selfie type. But take my word for it. I am now down to 295 lbs, feeling alot better physically and mentally. Being strict with my diet. Now if you are going through the same stuggles as I did, let me tell you if I can get up and do it, you can too. It’s not easy, its not fast and it will be a challenge but you can do it. Do not beat yourself up about the gain, focus on what you can do. Visualize what you can look like after all the hard work and effort. My journey is not done and it wont be for a very long time. Now the time limit you give yourself is up to you of course. But just be sure not to kill yourself trying to beat the covid weight gain. I hope your journey is a success and hope for the best for you and if you need words of encouragement I am in your corner. Good luck on the journey and be well.

My experience after taking the Pfizer vaccine.

So last weekend the misses and I were scheduled to get our 2nd dosage and it was quick and easy but of course we had to wait 30 minutes but after that everything was all good. It was a nice sunny day, around 90 degrees and my mother was nice enough to babysit our 2 year old. We decided it would be a nice evening to enjoy some margarita’s.

Of course before all of that a couple of buddies of mine at the gym warned me that I would suffer some symptoms. But my hard headed self was like “naw im good”. But they looked at me sideways and decided to make bets on my illness. Sure enough the next morning after installing my ac units in my house and get everything finished so I can have a nice relaxing evening and enjoy some NHL playoffs in peace. To my not suprised I was feeling quite well, so well I cocky and decided to take the misses out for some brunch before picking the kiddo up.

Here comes the pain. During our brunch before we got our food, suddenly my wife started getting the chills, she was complaining about being very achy and she told me “its from the shot”. My hard head didnt want to believe her because I was feeling good still. After our breakfast we pick up our daughter and go back home and she is out of it. She had a high fever, she was cold then hot, then cold then hot all day. I had my daughter with me for a while and I let her watch her dinosaurs then all of the sudden I start to feel it. First thing I thought was “the guys at the gym are going to laugh about this”. My body was aching like crazy. I came down with a fever and couldnt eat anything and this thing lingered on me for two days straight while my wife only had it for a day. Missed the playoff games because I slept through the games. I was just happy my wife recovered. With the lack of energy I wasnt really able to help much.

Now I know some of yall arent believers in the vaccanation or covid and thats fine believe what you want i am not here to convince you. But i would warn people to be aware that your body will go though these symptons and if you dont, congratulations you are an X-men. But on the serious note please prepare yourself better than we did. If you have young kids, plan on having a sitter or somebody to watch over them while you are out of it. Treat this like you would treat the flu. Get plenty of rest, drink your fluids and prepare to bing watch one of your favorite shows or movies.

Overall i am happy to get it over with and do my part so we can get everything back to normal. Now back in the gym not having to wear a mask and go to stores without wearing a mask but of course I can feel the eyes and judgment on me now but life goes on. I hope my experience helps you in going through this process. I am not going to pass judgment on you if you dont get vaccinated thats your choice. I hope everybody stays safe and enjoys their days. Be well my friends.

Maskless Karen….

Just the other while i was standing in line i witnessed the wrath of a maskless Karen. Now i am not here to lecture people on wearing masks. “Do you” is usually my attitude towards peoples beliefs. Anyway while at the store with my 2 year old we finally got my 2 year old to wear her little dinosaur mask only because she thinks she is a dinosaur with it on. While getting groceries we noticed a woman in a heated debate with another woman about masks. The woman of the topic decided to leceture everybody about how stupid we were for not wearing a mask. She also wanted everybody to know how she suffered from anxiety and other symptons.

Then she pointed her attention to me with my daugher and i was like “lord here we go”. She decided to tell me how i was abusing my daughter and wanted to tell me about her symptons. At first i wanted to ignore her until she wanted to come near my daughter trying to take of my mask. To me thats crossing the line and i stepped in the way. I wish had my phone on me to record this situation but i have a bad habit of not carrying my phone. So then we get into it and i tell her. “Look heres the thing about me i am over 300 lbs whos a suffers from asthma and has anxiety. I have suffered from these symptons since i was a kid but i also workout everyday, jog and weightlift with a mask on”. She looked dumbfounded and shocked and then moved on.

So this is my warning to you maskless karens who want to push their beliefs on me, the best suggestion is just plain “dont do it. Because i am not on your side when it comes to this. I train everyday and sometimes have my panic attacks but i stop, focus on my breathing and take a couple of minutes to gain my composure. And then take a hit off my inhaler and take another moment then go back to my workout because i am staying commited to losing this weight, not letting covid defeat me again and not letting these symptons defeat. So please, maskless karens do not ever preach to me about your issues because we are not teamates and leave people alone and never cross the line of ever approaching another persons child because not everybody has the patience i have.

There is nothing weak about apoligizing.

I will be the first to admit i am a very stubborn person, from a scale to 1 and 10 i rate myself at a 10. I am set in my ways like a lot of people our but for me it takes me a certain ammount of time to realize that i am wrong. The one thing that i hate to admit. But when i start to think and process everything from a arument or a dissagrement and think to myslef and then realize that i was wrong. From fact checking or just to realize that maybe my argument didnt lead up to what i was hoping. Over the years as i studied, read and just listen to others i found myself admitting when i was wrong made me a stonger person. Admitting your wrongs does not make you a weak person it makes you a more understanding person. I am a working progress just like everybody else with his faults and thats okay. What is not okay for me is let my stubborness get the best of me. I continue to focus on my mental health and enjoy new studies and new methods of challenging myself in my way thinking. Finding being wrong is not always a bad thing but not taking ownership and letting your stubborness get the best is the problem. We all have our time periods of coming to the conclusion of this but at the end as long as as you see when you are in the wrong and can admit that helps you in the long run imo.
