One More Light
In June 2016 i very distinctly remember walking up the drive way after another excruciating day of school. My hair was matted from not having the energy to brush my own hair,my stomach felt empty and barren from weeks of not eating. I had never felt more hollow and tired than i had in that past year. The sun beat down on my face and it warmed my cold and aching body. I thought to myself "i will never let anyone else feel this way." I have no shining trophy sitting on my shelf. I have no talents to show for but my passion is simple. I will never let another person feel like they are navigating this world alone.

Healing Hands
In a perfect world, my services would no longer be necessary. My passion is empowerment and encouragement, counseling, and healing; for EVERYONE. I have found that too many people are suffering in the ways I have, and not enough platforms are truly for everyone who suffers- and likewise, not enough platforms are accessible to everyone. Many platforms, for example, are aimed at just women empowerment and healing, or minorities. Others are aimed specifically at those considered to be higher in power in today’s world, such as straight white cis men. Many counselors are way too expensive to be accessible, and many people feel ashamed at needing services from a therapist and counselor. However, you do not often see a platform that is aimed at the most important things; healing and empowerment for everyone as a community, encouraging everyone to work together and build a community of health, that does not pit everyone against each other, and that is not insanely expensive. Oftentimes, even if someone can get professional counseling, the counselors do not fully understand the issues we all face, and that lack of understanding leads the clients to feeling more discouraged and crazy. When you focus on one target group, you fail to recognize the importance of every part of the community, in my opinion. When there are three weak legs on a stool, what is most beneficial for the stool? Fix one leg, and leave the other two weak? Fix two? What if everyone worked to fix all three legs to the stool, to make a stool that is completely stable, so that pressure can be placed on all three sides equally without the risk of crashing down? To me, that is the number one solution. When you are counseling someone, you need more than just professional knowledge on the subject- you need real world experience, to understand and connect with those that need help.

The most inspiring people
In the summer of 1981, Donald Brown, a 36-year-old construction worker, had just had his first knee repair surgery and was lying in a hospital bed. At the time, he was facing the dissolution of his second marriage and was on the verge of financial ruin. Due to the unbearable pain, he was given five consecutive morphine injections. In a trance, a voice came to his ears: Where do you want to be in 5 years, and where will you be in 10 years? The next day he woke up and found a notebook right next to him with his own handwriting on it: Harvard Law School and Walking Across America.

Be a shark that swims hard
In the abdominal cavity of bony fish, there is almost always a swim bladder. The buoyancy generated by the swim bladder allows the fish to freely control its body in a certain water layer when it is at rest. In addition, the swim bladder creates enough space in the fish's abdominal cavity to protect its internal organs from damage caused by excessive water pressure. Therefore, it can be said that the swim bladder holds the life and death of the fish.

"PICK ME PICK ME", she shouted!
That's what it feels like when I read all of the other works submitted by amazing artists. Am I good enough? Is it cool enough? That's the million dollar question isn't it? We want to be accepted, revered and put up on a pedestal. It would mean validation, that you are finally good enough if people accept your work and your art. We all think we are special though. We all think we have something to offer that is great.

If I Saw You on Sunday
There are two facts you should know about me. I have not traveled the world over nor can I stake claim to any sort of "infamous fame" other than my own life's journey to live free and transparent in the face of my maker.

You And Your Child
Many people with a history of mental health issues in their family might be worried about their child's mental health. Even an adult who grew up in a domestically violent situation may worry about their child's mental health. They do not want what they went through to happen to their child and they want them to have a happy childhood. The answer to this is not by buying your child material items or "spoiling them", it is by treating them correctly and bonding with them.

When life give you lemons...
Hello. You don't know me, but that's okay. I may never know you, and that's okay too. There's more people on this planet who don't know you exist than people who don't like you. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't care. Chances are the people who don't like you, are the people that should, like family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and people who should like you, but don't. That person you like, but they don't seem to like you back? It's probably because they don't or aren't sure yet and that's okay. Most importantly, you can't make someone like you even when they should, especially family members. Because that is their problem, and if they don't want to change, that is all on them and you have nothing to do with their thoughts or emotions. People suck sometimes, especially those who don't care.
