How Fiction Changed My Outlook On Writing.
I have been publishing with the Vocal+ platform for just a little longer than four months now, and with a total of thirty-three, articles on view for others to read. But, for the past month (or thereabouts) have not really produced much of anything else here. I think one of the deciding factors was that although I was publishing here, I had been feeling a little resentful of the fact that there was no scope for commenting and interacting, with other like-minded readers on here.

Dave's Bucket List
Back in 2019, my life took an unexpected turn for the worse. Granted, things have not been well with me since Thanksgiving of 2016, but that is a story for another day. Without elaborating on the details of these particular events that occurred in my life, I woke up to the realization that things need to change. If I did not voluntarily change my life, I would be welcoming my life to change for me. And lately, that latter option has not worked out so well. So where did I start? I began by creating a bucket list.

The dark night of the soul
There are moments in life where everything leads us to rethink ourselves, the old structures no longer define us in the same way they did before and, undoubtedly, there is a collapse of everything that used to work for us. Often, the experiences that mark a "before" and an "after" in our lives are those that activate this higher level of consciousness and lead us to enter the dark night of the soul.

Life
Does it always feel like you are fighting a battle in your head? Does it feel like you are failing? Does it feel like the devil is winning? Does it make you want to throw in the towel and calling it quits? Do you want to end it all sometimes because life is just too much?

Becoming Her Again
I always get curious about how people choose their IG handles. I wont to stick with something that made my name or nickname, but I'm thirty-one now and it had been really boring, to the purpose that I felt love it could cause emotional turmoil if it wasn't found right.

Giving up the Pursuit of Happiness Made Me Happy
Happiness abounds. After all, the key to unhappiness is that the very pursuit of happiness itself! I mean, what's happiness anyway? Are you pursuing what the community describes as fun, or are you pursuing what it means to you?
