“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control the way you think about all the events. You always have a choice. You can choose to face them with a positive mental attitude.” — Roy T. Bennett

When really cool and unique things happen in my life, I am always amazed. Not only am I amazed, I think an alien has come down to earth and taken over my body did some really cool stuff while there for me.

Some examples of incredible alien abduction of my body include.

Graduating Nursing school.

Becoming an ICU nurse.

Actually, being good at my job ( I can say this because it wasn’t me, it was the alien version of me).

Quitting my job 3 years ago, selling my stuff, and becoming a nomad.

Medium, writing, and somehow gaining 1.6K subs. Def alien takeover.

These above mentions, I have no idea how they have happened. It is like I made the decision, and then it’s like I blinked, and things happened.
