Oh goodness. I’ve been sitting here pondering what to write for the Daily Post Day 19 prompt. Honestly I can’t think of one moment right now where I observed bravery.

I can think of moments of assertiveness that I have seen, but nothing outstanding. We all experience situations daily where we have to learn to be brave and speak up.

I know I have some problems with speaking my mind and being brave; it’s something I must work on this year especially. In the words of a newfound friend: “I count, too. Speak up!”

Topic #17 for The Daily Post:

Do you believe everything happens for a reason? Why or why not?

Plain and simple, yes: everything happens for a reason. Even though at times I may ask, “Why? Was that even necessary in my life?” I later reflect on those moments and realize that yes, those moments were necessary to shape my life to what it is right now.

What are your thoughts on this matter? (I particularly like prompts like these)

Am I stressed out? If you asked me this question a week ago, I would say “not so much.” But now, being back in San Francisco, I feel the stress coming back. Particularly with the first half of this year being a huge transitional phase in my life. The last time I had this much transition going on was 2007-2008, when I graduated from undergrad and was moving out to San Francisco from Virginia. There were some threads of communication lost with friends back east…and this time around, I wonder if something similar will happen with the friends I have met out here.

Also, just the whole notion of the unknown is quite stressful.

But then again, if I knew what was going to happen tomorrow, would I still anticipate it?
