Dare to be DIFFERENT!
Unapologetic authenticity blurs lines, pushes boundaries, overlooks rules, and dares to be different! Beginning in infancy; Society and culture (among many other influences) inundate our psyches to breed conformity, fear, judgment, drive obedience and suppress individuality. Masterly conditioned to fit inside and within a box. In turn, we evolve to understand that we are bound to that box by insecurities, guilt, fear, and low self-esteem. We then enter adulthood believing that our overall value is measured and determined by another's version of right-and-wrong. Thinking, choices, actions, and communications are both publicly (and even more concerning) personally altered to "suit" someone else's narrative. Internally branded souls that live in anguish chastised by needing approval/acceptance and misaligned from inner truth.

I am an Empath
SIGHT She stood at my bedside in a white dress. Her appearance was exactly how it always was. Long colored auburn/red hair, big round flushed cheeks, and large green eyes. A white dress, I thought to myself. "What are you doing?" "I am sleeping!" "What are you wearing?" Eyes filled with sleep haze, thoughts slow, I muttered questions off to her. No response. She was teasing me and ignoring my questions. She always picked on me. My eyes cleared, my mind awoke, and in an instant: Shock, fear, and confusion sank in. Imagine Alice spinning down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. My bed and I were spinning in some vortex, going somewhere but also not moving at all.

Believe in the World to Change it!
"All the world is suffering. It is also full of overcoming" - Helen Keller. A powerful statement. Helen Keller was an inspirational force in our world. Being deaf and blind did not stop her from pursuing her dreams. Through her works, she was an inspiration to all those disabled. With each experience and success, her soul awakened. She saw and heard the world through her hands and her soul. Fighting stigmas, self-proven that each person with a disability comes equipped with a unique ability.
