humanity

For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.

Be the best that you can be.
I am a thespian at heart and I've done Shakes-of-peare under many different lights, be it green, red or blue depending on the on the act of tempest played. My passion for the stage is not just one big phase and through my bachelor's on stage and the characters I played, I grew as things were made. The things that I portrayed up on that lime lit stage, my future they have paved and I swear I will not cave, from the knowledge I have gained. On my masters I have changed from the stage to place as my world becomes the stage, An the light upon my face begins the silver phase. Even with my age I do not search no fame, just the colours of the flame I write from heart and brain.

What is a Neighbor . Runner-Up in We Have a Dream Challenge.
It is January 2022. I just left my weekly women's activist Zoom group. One of the "thought leaders" in the group declared America is already in a civil war and she is up for whatever that means.

6 Ways to Change your Relationship with Social Media to make 2022 the Year of Self-Care
I don't know about you, but I can get in pits of endlessly scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. Social media gets in the way of so many things. My quality time with loved ones, my sleep schedule, my confidence, my self-esteem, my goals, etc.etc.etc. In fact, just during this last paragraph, I have looked at my phone four times–only to see that mom has liked my last four Instagram photos. Enough is enough.

TRIPPIN ABOUT HISTORY
The following is a story short about a presumptuous individual who, because of his prior education and "middle class" status / views about race of persons taking his college course, projects them upon his students to resolve what presents opposing views on life and the opportunities it presents. It is difficult to judge someone we do not know, it causes us to go....

WANNA BE
INTRODUCTION: In everyone person's life, there is an inner existence that pushes them to be. Once placed here upon this earth from infancy and into youth curiosity pulls them forward into what exists around them.

In this world, anyone and everyone can be defined as a......

Where is the Oxytocin?
Meditation. What is it? For me, it's directing my energy to achieve peace...inner peace...world peace...and clean water. As I imagine the rippling effect of energy, I see the calmest of places. I go there and know that I am contributing to a happy, collective energy. Water, mother earth's element, that physically mimics this energetic vision, ripples through us connecting us to a fluidity that nourishes, cleanses, and sustains life. I meditate for stillness among the ripples but I also meditate for the preservation of our mother's gifts. Our mother empowers us with the ability to heal and feel love when her elements are respected and unadulterated. Meditation is soul soothing. Meditation increases oxytocin...empathy. I want meditation for all.

Dreaming dreams
A dream is a wish your heart makes, while you’re sound asleep. However I dream a waking dream, I aspire to inspire. My plans for this year are but a penny in the pond of problems, a mere page of the bible we call the works of our countries, of our world as its whole. It has been my goal to become a published author, and very recently I was asked to speak out my story. Reality can be stranger than fiction, more horrifying than any Friday the Thirteenth or Gremlin.

The Gift of Learning
Dear Mrs Logue, My mother had a saying, "a teacher can either turn a kid off or they can turn a kid on to learning." I didn't really understand what that meant when I was young, but my mother, who had unfulfilled teaching aspirations said it with such conviction that I knew it had to be true.

The Book Of Thoth. The Matrix. These are two chronicles, mythologies of mankind which allude to things in the deeper and darker annals of reality. A lot of people view these as parables for society at large, even astutely allegorical; it is not hard to see the applicability. The species has existed these last 0ne-hundred-fifty-years like hamsters on a multitudinously cogged hamster-wheel. In our state of mechanized living we have been conditioned to seek out pleasure in a variety of ways through executive functions and experiences, which are pleasurable in their own right, yet not meant to be a means to a (dopamine) end. Like hamsters literally sucking the water from their feeders, we drink, eat, use, exercise, travel and seek out novelty, encompassing pursuits both mundane and dangerous, as a method to feel better, not just in the appreciation of artful living.

fateless
Your fear poisons me. Something like breathing in the fog and letting dust collect in my lungs. The promise was betrayed by the weakness of these bones. I linger in their madness to a point of breaking. No longer able to hold back this disaster must begin. I suffocate in hatred as I rise with the flames. You see me as a monster and in this you project death upon us. I watch timelines die. It is horrific and it reminds me that the loneliness is real. It will not go away and it can not be stopped for it is the truth of this realm. I seek the ability to devour the lack of me. I find collections of memories that feel empty and I let them mock me for the emptiness I feel. I failed you for I failed myself in not trying anymore.
