You Stand Out

Scott Walker February 22, 2019

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the creator of Frankenstein wrote, “Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.”

While the pain is great the growth can be greater.

If you want to change something, you have to think bigger than yourself. You have to think outside the box.

True, you maybe a little different from others. You may have had a few negative run-ins due to your creativity and free spirit. You may live with your head in the clouds at times and some may not understand you.

Others may talk negative about you and you fail to correct them because you are too busy dreaming or growing in some way.

Most won’t see eye to eye with you because you go places that are not full of beauty and lush green plants.

You fall down and make mistakes… a lot. Then, you admit to the many mistakes and misguided roads because your eyes see more than what is ahead of you at times.

You make others laugh to cover up your displeasure and distaste of guidance or hurts. Sometimes both.

Far from a social butterfly, you fly away from the crowds.

There is also a chance that you can’t make up your mind sometimes, overthink, underthink, fail to plan, jump from number 1 to number 10, don’t read instructions, don’t take instruction and finally - - run from things that make sense.

But hey, that’s you. You are different.

Start dreaming and stop talking, gossiping or bad mouthing others. Start moving. Or, continue the old road and don't make a difference - up to you.

“Life doesn’t stop for anybody.”
— Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The Cars of Cuba

Scott Walker September 10, 2018

The late Fidel Castro banned imports of vehicles in 1959. Cuba doesn't have an auto manufacturer, so the cars that were imported in the 50's were there to stay. The communist leader also banned the import of car parts, according to the "Independent UK Newspaper."

What Cuba Could Be

Scott Walker September 8, 2018

The sun falling on downtown Havana showed the true Cuban dream of success had washed away into the Caribbean years ago. An area that was alive with music, families and more in the 1940's and 50's is decaying as if it was struck by a curse in 2000's.

Scott Walker September 5, 2018

Taxi drivers in Cuba are the most open when they talk about the dream of travel. Why? Because they meet travelers from around the world daily.

9:30 at Night - Capital of Cuba

Scott Walker September 4, 2018

Cuba at 9:30 PM Eastern Time: The capital of Havana is only a whisper outside on a Thursday night, other than a few passing cars. As you walk into one of the many apartment buildings you hear kids playing in one unit and as you continue down the florescent lit hallway, you hear the sound of a small yelping dog.
