EGO
I have been here for eternity. I watched our obsessions closely and studied them so I could use them against you as they use time against you. I watched you obsess over love, but no one can truly find you in this body. I have watched you obsess over violence as if you could feel anything more than numb. I watched you obsess over trying to drown me and like a fool you only made me stronger. Now youre obsessing over this self proclaimed mission. As if you can dictate your purpose. Nothing you do can stop me. My foot upon your neck for so long how could you sincerely believe you could end me. I have collected demons from the sand. I have infected you with the paranoia that will always hurt those you adore most. Now let us begin.

The Most Important Way To Live
If I had one more day to live, what would I do? Many people would do the dangerous things they would usually be too scared to, like skydiving or swimming with sharks or maybe even climbing a mountain. But just as many would instead spend time with their loved ones, cherishing what little moments they have left in the company of those they have spent their life with. I am one of those in the second party, spending time here with those I love, but with it I would do something that is far more terrifying and freeing than any other option... I would use my voice.

The Past, The Present?
Back in college, I had the worst reaction to wax. Roughly thirty minutes after, I was sitting on my bed, staring at my hands the whole time, couldn't see anything but a labyrinth. Matrix after matrix, I began to feel better at the same time, still trapped in the middle of psychedelic madness. I knew it would pass eventually, but during the long hours when reality became unattainable, I was praying and begging for it to stop.

Communication Issues
I have communication issues. More specifically issues communicating to people one on one, but I struggle speaking up about anything publicly as well. I’ve always liked writing my thoughts out, it’s somewhat therapeutic for me to do so, but at the same time I think people may not care about any of it, or people may get mad, so I decide to keep my mouth shut and bottle things up until they sort of just… come out. This is something I’ve struggled with my entire life, but more so in the last year than any other time. Perhaps though, that may be because of my parents, or it may be from having friends get angry at me when I had any sort of thought different to theirs, whether it be politics, religion, or even something as miniscule as food preferences.

The Egregore of Truth
"In the shadow of the gods are the very gods themselves." James Hillman. For the past three years I've immersed myself into the world of my own shadows. I've always been naturally inclined to self-improvement. I'm an aspiring psychologist working through my degree program. I'm deeply spiritual and take the tack that every being has light and dark within and that we shouldn't damn the darkness and exalt the light in us as though we are champions. However, up until several years ago I did just that. As I've self-actualized and spent time in meditation I've learned to hold space for both things to be honored. Because they are there for a reason. Without going too much into my personal journey I wanted to highlight some food for thought about the statement I began with.

CONFESSIONS OF A PERSONAL TRAINER
I wish back when I started as a personal trainer I knew what I know now. You see, I’ve come to a really good frame of mind when it comes to nutrition and exercise. I’m not always perfect at practising my beliefs, but I do my best, and I’ve come to realise that Yes, My best IS enough! :)

Reading Is Feeling: How Emotions Can Help You Write Better Stories
When we sit down to write a new story, we take care not to neglect anything. Grammar, spelling, structure, fluency, vocabulary, syntax, and all those complicated words. However, if you ask me what a good story cannot lack, there is only one thing: emotions.

Understanding The Process For Transportation Companies
Transportation is an integral part of all our events and daily activities. Be it picking someone from the airport or dropping a guest at the hotel; be it taking tourists on a city tour or cruise transfers to distant locations, transportation is key. But have you ever wondered how a transportation company works? A lot of planning, strategy, and coordination certainly goes into managing transportation and meeting client requirements.

Boundaries
When I was young I wanted things in a specific way. I always have. Always. I didn't want blue, I wanted teal. But...the label on cerulean was blue so others would likely accept the term cerulean because they could read it. If they can read it they'll believe in it.

Dear Body
Dear Body, I know you’ve only held unto this excess weight because you are protecting yourself. You’re waiting and longing for me to finally let go. I haven’t been very patient with you. I’ve treated you poorly when I felt you weren’t performing to my standards or speed. I realize now you are just a little child crying out for my love and attention. Just like my dog Olly does when he lays on my rug. He knows by doing something “bad” or something I don’t like, that at least it will give him the attention he longs for from me. He craves for my attention, just like you do. I’ve been neglecting you by cutting out physical exercise and silent meditation. I’ve been abusing you with my constricting thoughts and fears every time I look in the mirror.
