How A “Fat” Narcissist Tried To Make Me Miserable Just Because I Am Happier Than She Is
I’ve always thought that all overweight people are as nice as Sherman Klump from Nutty Professor. Well, I was wrong. There are some real nasty “fat ” people out there.

Struggles of an Indian Girl
I can’t even count the times I’ve typed that out- or something along those lines. I just wanted to know that someone else was facing the same struggles as I was- Indian girl raised by strict Indian parents living in the UK, very confused. Sound familiar to anyone? Thought so. It seems to be a universally accepted truth about Indians, and especially Indian girls. We are told from a young age that our family members pray that our husbands have a long and happy life, that we will grow up and be married off and that is when our life begins, that we don’t know love or what life means until we have children.

An Open Letter to the Passenger Who Tried to Kill Me
Dear Fellow-passenger-who-has-apparently-gone-mad, Say no more. I see the frustration with life in your eyes. You’ve had enough of life biting you in the ass. Of people overlooking you. Throwing you crumbs. Jeering in your face.

This Time of Year Makes ME F#$%^ng Sad. Top Story - December 2021.
This time of year makes me fucking sad. I know it’s about God and Jesus' birthday or at least that’s what we were told, right? It’s not about Santa Claus and naughty lists, Target Runs, and fancy trees. It’s about consumerism and Black Friday and I hate it.

In My Spare Time I Find Dead Bodies. Top Story - December 2021.
With a title like that yes, let me clarify. I do a lot of things in my "spare time," outside of my home business when there is any time left over which is usually in the wee hours of the morning or in the evening. I do contract work as a Writer, work on my next books, plan my next art exhibit, do some Life Coaching (I am also a Rec Therapist), while I also do Readings. Not as in the kind at a book launch thought there will be those in the future but the the kind on the intuitive level, for the lack of a better work "psychic readings." I can feel the eye rolling already. It's not my preferred word and though my work at this is fairly low-key it won't always be.

Close to 50k reads, but finding hard to feel happy about it
I’ve been writing on Vocal since the summer of 2017. A lot has changed over the years. Some for the better and some for the worse. I’ve started to get to grips with Vocal, but I still struggle sometimes. I am really surprised and excited to see my total reads go up to this amount. I have a feeling it won’t be long till I reach 50,000 reads. Don’t know when and don’t know how, but I know it’s coming. Im not even sure how or what I will do to celebrate this. To be honest, I don’t really feel like celebrating at the moment.

How Do the Homeless Wash Themselves?
Whenever I drive by the homeless people in tents or covered with thick, dirty blankets under the viaducts and slouching over in the corners of dark streets, I always wonder how they will wash themselves tonight. Most people who are not familiar with how the homeless live, they can easily say, "Oh, they go to homeless shelters to wash!" The answer, my friends, is not that easy. As a former homeless person, I will tell you how difficult it is to even get into a shelter.

Dear me from 10 years ago
Dear 11 Year Old Me You must be very confused about who you are. But it is okay because you are very young and you are still figuring out who you are. You are falling in love with some kid that you will not talk to anymore in a couple of years but that is okay. The reason behind that is because you learned a lot from it and some things you did not. You learned what true friendship was and how it was to be loved. What you did not learn was to stop pushing people away. You have to work on that. I know you are very insecure about your glasses and how you dress and how you do your hair. But you should not be because doing all that made you realize how bad you dress and now you dress so much better. Also, its okay to dress bad because everyone else did and you are only expressing yourself and that is how people remember you and honestly the way you look is one of my favorite memories of you. Do not be afraid to try new things even if you have never done it before because honestly you will regret them in the future and you will always think about it no matter how small it was. You will have a lot of regrets when you were older. Also remember that even if you try something new and it does not go according to plan, please do not let it make you upset. You need to experience new things in order to learn what not to do and be more experienced. Do not fall in love to quickly, you have a lot to work on yourself, and chasing after boys will make it harder on you. If they like you, they will come after you, do not chase after them. If someone really cares about you, they will be there for you and not leave you hanging. You do not know how to be treated yet and I know no one has taught us but it will take us some time. I am telling you it is going to be hard figuring out you should be treated but you will do it. Go out with your friends please, I know there were times where I was scared to go out with my friends and I regret it so please stop being scared, you will have fun and you will make so many memories. Please I swear to god do not be insecure. That is the one thing that takes over your life and you do not do a lot of things because of it. It will take over your life, even right now, ten years later, you are still working on it. Just do not care about what other people think about you and just be yourself. Learn how to drive as soon as you can, i swear it has been ten years and you still do not know. Girl, get your license and stop being a chicken. As you grow older you will think of things you want to do and not do them. One of them will be staying in band, you should do it. Who knows, maybe you will like it. Also, pay more attention in school, I know you heard it so many times but you will need it for high school and college. I am going to be a hypocrite for saying this because I still do it but get off your phone more often and go out and do fun things. Lastly, just love yourself and do not ever be insecure.

The Vibe Podcast
I have always had a wild life and something told me to prepare myself. All of the sudden I wanted a guitar, then I began to research Podcast equipment and it all kinda happened. What I didn’t expect was to lose nearly everything and everyone. I had no idea I was surrounded by so many abusers and haters. I am thankful God prepared me for this through my baptism in 2017. No way would I be able to handle such betrayal. I have always been protective of myself and my name. I even changed my son’s last name to Costas because I raised him on my own. But something happened to me mentally when Biden took over, this stimulus money we were getting didn’t feel right so I decided to invest in myself and applied to have The Vibe Podcast trademarked. The purpose of the show is to teach how spirituality, culture and music saved my life. I want to teach that you can heal from trauma naturally and beautifully plus I want to tell you some of my wild and funny stories. Storytelling makes me happy, sometimes I co-host with my son. Sometimes he hosts episodes by himself, I couldn’t have accomplished this goal without my children. My daughter Mia is my inspiration to do better every day, because of her I have moved mountains and I know her future is bright. My son Gabe has turned into my protector and has evolved beautifully in this process. Because he’s so down for his mother without hesitation, he will be blessed. His grades have improved miraculously since we began our Spiritual Journey in February, has not been easy but I know our sacrifices will be worth it one day. My wish is to be a fulltime writer, the podcast actually belongs to my children as they are more artistic than me but hustling is my game. I suffer so they won’t have to so I put in my blood, sweat and tears into the project. Gabe is a gifted artist and we have dreams of coming out with an animated series more details on that coming soon! Mia is a very hands on type of kid, she likes DIY’s so I can’t wait to get into merchandise ideas with her! Our future is bright. I am forever proud of myself for deciding to trademark the company because boy the things and people that have been revealed to me have been unreal to say the least. So unreal that I must share our story in an effort prevent this kind of treatment to any other human being ever again. Children do not ask to be born so it is up to us parents to give them our best shot towards a bright and happy future for our Angels. We recently wrapped up Season 1 of The Vibe Podcast and all I can say is Wow.. I think of the song by Kanye West; Through the Wire and it reminds me of me. Some episodes I must admit are short and the sound quality lacked in some episodes lol but even through the wire we still pulled through and gave our best shot. These episodes were recorded while I was out of a job for three months with no income, while breaking away from toxic people and being taken to court. Also lost temporary custody of my daughter. We are currently working to get a sense of normalcy and I am a firm believer of justice and I know the truth will set me free. I used this time away from my daughter to hustle hard. This time for my life, through the wire we continued recording. A publisher has since reached out to me and I am working on my first book! I am now a blogger and I am loving how life is going. The only thing that’s missing is my little girl. We have our visits and thank God for FaceTime but every thing happens for a reason. When things don’t go my way I thank God for the chastisement because it’s another opportunity to do better. My hopes is that I have made my daughter proud as it is my honor to have changed my life to honor my beloved father’s memory and for my children’s sake. No way could I allow any of them to suffer even remotely in the ways I have. I needed to heal properly in order for me to become the person God destined me to be. Now I have lots of stories to share as a result! I am thankful for all of the blessings I have received and it’s an honor to share our story of healing naturally. We hope to return for more stories on the podcast sometime in early 2022! In the meantime check out The Vibe Podcast! Available on many platforms! You will see my mug! Thank you for reading and enjoy the vibe!

Most Young Men Are Painfully Lonely
The picture of an ideal man in Western culture looks weird and kind of contradictory. The ideal man is strong, stoic, financially successful, yet simultaneously emotionally intelligent, sensitive (but not too sensitive), and loving. The ideal man in Western culture looks a lot like Superman.

The Year I Learned to Be Me
I had an amazing experience with my friends on the weekend. They are not only supportive of my ambitions, but they get me excited about them. I am so lucky to have these people in my life. My friends know how hard it is to let your authentic self shine through, but somehow they understand that that's what makes me happy. That was just one example of how being around them makes me feel more confident and alive.
