We Rock the Spectrum

It’s that time of year again where the chalkboards come up, the first day pictures get taken, the little details get written down on the boards, including one small spot with the dreams for the future, the parents plead with their babies for one small, forced smile, and then they’re on their way out the […]

Sticks & Stones

It’s no secret I have a lot of feelings when it comes to this blog, or the things in life I am passionate about. One of them predominately being Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, as much of my life centers around that topic in particular. With an abundance of competition happening lately with me being unable to […]

Feeling Seen

Lately, I’ve been making a bunch of Jiu Jitsu related content and videos on my social media pages, and I’ve read all of the comments underneath them, many laden with “I feel so seen!” And it really got me thinking about outliers in the community. Like dang, if you don’t fall into this neat little […]

Gives You Hell

How many people cross paths in our life that truly enjoy every moment of our failures, and relish in every single one of our down falls. Sometimes out of jealousy or envy, or out of a once-soured relationship, or simply because our mere existence seems to bother them. But if there is a universally relatable […]

Putting the ‘A’ in Anal

Can you do it all? Or will you implode under the crushing weight of everything coming down on top of you? This may be something I am trying and testing out, as I am taking on a vast number of tasks recently, but for some reason as much stress as I am under, I freaking […]

Everything in life is hard, literally everything. I know they say if it wasn’t hard, it wouldn’t be worth doing, but that doesn’t make the crap you have to go through any less difficult. Even the things you think come easy to some people really doesn’t. Sure, it may look like gifted athlete Cameron is […]

Mistakes are Part of the Dues One Pays for a Full Life

June 13, 2023 Samantha Schell Adaptation, Anxiety, Positivity error, growth, learning, mistakes, unapologetic, wrong

Are you a human being? Have you been autonomous before? Have you made decisions, initiated actions, and thought about choices before? Then congratulations. You have made mistakes, you have been wrong, and you have caused grievances. No one is perfect in this life, and we are more than capable of being wrong. It is how […]

Butterfly Effect

Life. No matter what happens or any of the circumstances, it keeps on going on. Though your world may stop, everyone else’s keeps on turning on its axis, and that’s just the way it is. All of a sudden, you’re looking back, and just wondering where all of the time has gone. Like the butterfly […]

Everyone who has ever read my blogs can be 100% sure of at least 2 things. The first being that although I fight in a cage and grapple on the mats, I’m still a human being with a wide array of feelings, many correlating to those of anxiety, and I get sad and nervous just […]

Breathe, Just Breathe

I’m going to deviate a bit from my normal Jiu Jitsu spiel and woah’s to talk about something a little bit more personal, truly exposing my vulnerability on this one. I’ve run into a bit of an issue lately when it comes to my mental health and looming anxiety. I think it stems a bit […]
