humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Twin Flames
Epic Romances, what are they truly? Who judges how or why they are epic? Generations and decades full of them. Why those ones and not others? We talk of soulmates, one true loves, and twin flames; but what are we really talking about? Is there destined to be one perfectly imperfect person for each of us, even though seven billion of us live on this earth? Forgive me, but I am not fully sold on this idea or notion.

A life of Grief
It was 2003 I got pregnant by Darrin, even though I was a promiscuous young lady just getting out there in the world testing out my royal oats really. But I knew it was his baby I didn’t tell him that I was pregnant while I was pregnant. I call my grandmother and I told her my situation. She told me I will take you to parent plan hood and I will never speak of this... I said okay thank you Granma.

Lost child
Hello everyone, how are you today... So now I finally have a platform to speak my mind, & just tell or talk about what’s going on in my life. I really don’t care about being judged, because only one person can judge me and that’s the Lord himself. I feel as if I may have a similar situation to others they may have gone through or going through my particular situation.

A Toxic Kind Of Love
Everyone has that story. The story that shapes who you are, or who you will become. The story of facing adversity and over coming or succumbing to the darkness that humanity can be. I've seen darkness, I've lived in the darkness. And just when I thought my life was over, new life was breathed into my lungs and I began to thrive. This is my survival story. I guess I should say this is ONE of my survival stories, because sadly I have had more than one shitty experience in this life time. I can only hope that someone, or anyone, can relate and learn from the words that you are about to read. I can only hope that maybe, just maybe, I might be able to save someone.

Everyone Has a Story
We all have a story. Where we grew up, what sports we played, our family and friends we associate ourselves with, what we do for fun, etc. But the kicker is not all of us go out and tell people that story. Now, I know it can be hard for some people to share personal things about themselves with complete strangers but what if your story has the potential to have a real impact on someone's life? What if your story could change the projection of someone's life path? I want you to contemplate that as you continue to read on.

Being an Introvert
Being an introvert can be difficult by living in an extroverted world. I remember being bullied by family, friends and colleagues for being an introvert along with being shy. Until recently, when I started reading and listening to books about introverts I never even realised that I was an introvert.

FORGIVE? ALWAYS! STAY FRIENDS? NOT NECESSARILY.
There is a misunderstanding that comes along with forgiving. It is a topic of contention with people, and it makes sense. Forgiving is a complicated and complex subject and quite personal and hugely subjective. It is somewhat tailored to each person’s sensibilities, personality, and nature.

Done Listening
It was a bright fall day in the humid Midwest. Cicadas were screaming and the air smelled like hay. An 8 year old girl tugged at her black shorts, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She felt strange and fat. Her legs felt huge. Her arms felt awkward. The shorts were cutting into her skin. She felt nonathletic and embarrassed to be there. She was getting her picture taken for soccer and was happy. She felt anxious and itchy. The sad part was, she liked soccer a lot. She liked sports a lot. She was an active girl but she had started to think she was not enough and too much at the same time. She wasn't stick thin like other girls and she was tall and awkward. She didn't like how her body felt... mostly because no one had told her it was okay to be in a body like hers. All the women around her dieted and all the men commented on the women's bodies. How was she supposed to know any different?

Trauma
Trauma… We live in a world where everyone is clawing, scratching and victimizing others without fully understanding what is going on… To make sense of it mainly begins in a honest pursuit of self discovery. Talking about that discovery is both a privilege and a serious responsibility. It is also a bold move. To live free, we must learn how to strengthen, maintain, and even rebuild our life if necessary. Personal resiliency or living free requires humility, Transparency, purpose and relationships who you are is not a Label !!!

How a Stranger Brightened My Day (Pt.2)
If you haven't read part one to this series then I suggest heading right here, but if you really don't care how someone brightened my day in a CostCo then stay here because this one isn't about CostCo. This one is about my favourite online community, Vocal Media. As I've said before, Vocal has been a great outlet for me because I don't really talk to anyone nor do I like talking too much. I'm more of a quiet and intense being. Apart from writing on Vocal though, I spend a lot of time reading other people's articles. I read articles from "Horror" (the stories on there are amazing), "Geeks" (well, I write there so it'll only be fair if I read on there too. And the stuff is awesome, especially the reviews), "Proof" (hahaha, I'm a bit of a drinker, yes), "Psyche" (there's a bunch of coping tips there that I like to try and test with my agoraphobia) and obviously "Humans" which is a really touching sector of Vocal where everyone is super genuine about their humanity.
