I love how people in my generation and older generations get together and talk about the old days. It's not like they're going to get to do it again! It's just like being back in your old locker room. https://5amily.com/mug/i-just-want-to-drink-chocolate-bowl-and-take-napsAf Maria Johnson

You know that feeling you get when you can't find the words to express what you want to say? Yep, I know it too well. Sometimes I have a hard time describing my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I feel frustrated and sometimes it feels like my words aren't good enough. https://5amily.com/bowling/blog/5-fascinating-facts-about-the-game-of-bowling…

A mutual understanding is established between two people. When you don't know what someone is talking about, it means that you don't understand the topic of conversation. It doesn't necessarily mean that they're trying to be difficult. https://5amily.com/bowling/blog/bowling-a-healthy-pastimeAf Maria Johnson

A sense of security overcomes me every time I look up to the sky and see the moon. Mankind has always been fascinated with the moon, with the way it's always there; it's always up there, waiting for us to gaze out and admire its beauty. https://5amily.com/hoodie-gildan/bowling-is-my-happy-placeAf Maria Johnson

I'm sorry but I'm not into you I know you're used to people saying "yes" instead of "no" to all of your requests. It must be very difficult to have people say "no" to you. I'm sure that you're going to find someone who is more agreeable than me. https://5amily.com/ladies-shirt/im-a-bowler-to-save-time-lets-just-assume-that-im-always-right-2…

The downside of the fast-paced technology world we live in is sometimes easy to get lost in. I could spend all day feeling jealous of all the people enjoying the perfect lives I will never have. But through that envy, I found myself improving. I had a lot of time to think, which only made me realize what was good in my life. https://5amily.com/top-…

In the past, I was put in the face of adversity. My friends were all around me. They created this sense of being unstoppable, but things are not as they were before. I've let my friends down.

Some people go through life the same way trying to take the easy path and not having the guts to say the things they mean. Or do the things they want to do. But that's for a different kind of person. The people that live in my world, love the idea of transparency. No more hiding behind masks, we want to be who we are and feel free. https://5amily.c…

I found that when my life was getting tough it was hard to deal with. It seemed that my emotional stability was taken from me and I didn't know what to do. I'm sorry that I wasn't enough to make you stay. https://5amily.com/long-sleeve-shirt/if-you-want-me-to-listen-to-you-talk-about-bowlingAf Maria Johnson

I wake up every day knowing I have done nothing wrong. I know the truth. The world may not understand me, but I do not care, because I know I am right. https://5amily.com/tote-bag/confirmed-bowlers-are-always-rightAf Maria Johnson
