I am always asked if I believe in karma. I don’t. Want to know why? Because from the day I was born to the day I was assaulted and became sick, I was a kind, honest and sweet person. I never lied. I treated everyone around me with love. I showed people respect. And yet,Continue reading “karma and selfish”

I was talking to my cousin and she was telling me, Sam people care about you and what you do. And I was like, are you sure? I’m really not that special, I am just like everyone else. This concept is very hard for me to grasp. In Buddhism, all living things are created equal,Continue reading “special”

I’ve been struggling a lot with the topic of homelessness. We had two people living in our office backyard. At first, we let them stay, but then people put thoughts in our minds that scared us, and then there was some type of assault. We couldn’t have that on our property. So now here weContinue reading “margaret”

People always say to me, if anything sam, you are honest. It’s a value I love about myself. My father always says, Samantha just calls a spade a spade. I won’t talk behind your back, I’ll say it to your face. And if I am in the wrong, I will acknowledge it. I won’t makeContinue reading “honest, if anything”

If you get lucky, I might let you in. It may take months, or possibly years for me to let someone into my life. And I am a master sabotager – it’s a skill, one that I embrace because I know people that want to be in my life will eventually be. Through the goodContinue reading “if you get lucky”

I’ve been asked throughout my life how intelligent I am, specifically if I am a genius. And I always answer, I don’t think so. I’ve never openly shared my thoughts on my intelligence until this very moment – exactly right now. I believe intelligence is relative and very subjective. What is intelligent to one personContinue reading “am i?”

I’ve wanted to write this post for years, for some reason I wasn’t ready until now.

My Uncle Mo is and was… Strong, and Powerful, and Fierce, andContinue reading “my uncle mo”

When I was younger I was really into famous people and musicians. Then I grew up. And my views changed. People ask me all the time: which famous man are you attracted to? My answer: none However, there are two people who are famous that I do look up to: The late Tina Turner andContinue reading “the queen of rock and roll”

I remember when I was younger, I was so in love with a friend of mine. He ended up marrying someone else, having a family and then divorcing. Trust me, it broke my heart. He wanted the world of money and power and success and a beautiful partner, an expensive place to live and tripsContinue reading “maybe i don’t want it”

I know what I sacrificed when I decided to be open about my illness. I sacrificed what people would call a normal life. I would never change any of it. I have a pretty awesome life. It’s interesting to see how this world works, everyone supports you, but no one wants to be with someoneContinue reading “i know”
