People Don't Understand Me. And That Is Okay!

 Been doing a lot of self-reflection recently mainly because I have been dealing with a lot of mental burnout. Going through this made me realize something very important, and that is not everybody is going to get or understand me. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Since the month of May is dedicated to Mental Health Awareness, I thought I'd share a little story. You see, I do not necessary have the best relationship with my parents a lot of which stems from my issues of Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis among other things. Deep down I know they love me and I hope and pray that they know that I love them but we just don't really click.

In fact, I can say the same about a lot of people in my life. I just don't have a good ability to connect with other people. I have a tough time with wondering if people will ever get me or if I am ever going to be good enough for them.

But as time has past, I have come know that it is alright if people don't get me and what I am all about. However, that doesn't mean that they don't love me.

I am saying all of this because there is a growing fear of mine especially when it comes to mental health because I am noticing a lot of people become more and more aggressive when it comes to having people accept you as who you are.

It kind of feels as though that people are trying to force others to understand and accept them or they think that they hate them or they become hateful towards them if that makes any sort of sense.

And I hate to be the barer of bad news, but it is impossible for people to truly understand who you are as a human being. But again, that does not mean that they don't love you because they do, those people may just not know how to express it.

With that being said, just know that there are people who will try to understand you and just simply can't and still know they do love you and truly show appreciation to those who do understand and accept you for who you are.

There are still things I myself am currently going through at the time of me writing this blog post, that I am trying to figure out. Hopefully soon I am be more open about those inner struggles. And when I do decide to talk about it. I hope and pray you will all understand, and if not, that is okay! I love you all anyway!

So to everyone out there that is struggling mentally with concerns about what other people are thinking. Don't allow yourself to become angry and hateful towards them because they do love you and you are loved.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
