How to heal fully and properly.
Breathe.
I asked for you. You confuse me. We both deserve closure even though we know it’s not ending. We’re separated on purpose, by force. You long for me, I can feel it. You sing to me, in the stillness of the night, you set the tone, making sure I never forget where you stand with me. We haven’t physically talked or spoken in months but you speak to me daily, you send love songs. You remind me who you are. You refuse to be forgotten. I played myself. You played yourself. You plead with me, to understand words that you’ve never said, emotions you’ve never expressed. Actions that were wrongly interpreted, harsh words that were projected. I released you and you boomeranged back to me, you refuse to leave me. You love how much I love you. I had to find out how much I loved you. You exposed me to purpose, but you brought me pain first. I couldn’t have done it without you. I showed you love, you’re teaching me self love. You need to heal. I need to forgive, to face reality that nothing is perfect. You need to heal yourself. I think about you daily but until you return to me please baby, just let me breathe. You weighing too heavy on me.

Changes keep life interesting.
Life is never set in stone. If it were you would never experience new things, meet the love of your life or experience loss. After being married to the love of my life for 12 years, and living through 2 and 4 months without her as she visited her parents in Russia, I had this "concrete" plan in my head about growing old with this woman and living our lives in Colorado Springs or somewhere in Europe, ending our days together. Never in my wildest dreams did I suspect the changes that were coming.

What Is Positive Approach
The process is simple, but it takes time and practice before you can create a new habit. It is important to come up with a mechanism that does not rely on certain situations if you rely on phrases that you repeat every time something is stressful for you, or other tricks that help you revive and maintain a positive attitude.

One Brushstroke at a Time
The past two years have been a crazy roller coaster ride, with the train derailing while I was still inside it. From going on strike, to having to tell my students that our class trip was cancelled, to having to do online learning through a pandemic, my life has been forever changed. Add to that the big D. No, not that one! Get your mind out of the gutter! I mean the mental health D, the one that no one wants to talk about and tries to avoid like the plague, or COVID in our case. Yes, I’m talking about depression. I went from being a stressed out teacher, trying to juggle one too many things at the same time, to being forced to stop working because of a burn out. I didn’t know what to do with myself in those first two weeks. All I kept thinking was how guilty I felt for my students that I had left behind. Unfortunately, the guilt, the stress and the pandemic would lead my mind to the darkest of places; a place that my doctor eventually called depression.

The gains of pain
I lived over 37 years of my life in ignorance. Ignorance of the life I was living, ignorance of who I am and what I even look like physically. I lived because I had a breath. Unaware of my being, my wants and desires, the world sadly even my immediate environment. My family and my people I knew growing up miragely filled my space. I kept going in life not really knowing why I was going or what values I should have. I grew up in a home filled with people but had barely anyone who would show me or talk me into seeing the beauty of life. This made me grow up into a superficial being. Even though I desired deep and real relationships I never really opened myself to any. I existed in my world unaware of the big world and my part in it. My emotions where tucked in so deep that i couldn't really reach out to anyone but me. So if I had to deal with any emotion whether negative or positive, I dealt with any way I could and all by myself

Eight Years of Writers Block
The clink of keys housed in an aluminum frame. The blue lit screen that peers back at me from the abyss. The silent companionship that I reviled in for so long. The familiar flow of energy. The adrenaline that pumped through my veins uniting my heart and my mind. The unwillingness to stop my newfound journey was so freeing, that I wondered, what had I been afraid of for so long? It had been eight long years since I sat down to write. It wasn’t that life had become too tedious, although the wild call of motherhood did meet my heart, deaths and births enveloped life, degrees were sought for better futures. It wasn’t that I wasn’t brimming to explode from the ideas that entranced my thoughts, because I daydreamed my fantasies each day, some for days at a time. It wasn’t a lack of inspiration, for life had given me so many gifts. No, It was the fear that grief would overtake anything I had hoped to write.

MASKS UNMASKED THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE
2020 - 2022 - years of harsh realities, tough time and scary memories, left us just in the fear of life. Restricted and masked living for the last 2 years to stave off COVID-19 has raised a question about the purpose and meaning of life. What is the meaning of life? What is our purpose of life?

Crossing the Border...
A month or so ago, it was proposed that I come stay with my older sibling for a week or two, to spend some more time together. Despite my state of SEVERE paranoia and anxiety at the time, I agreed. I was eagerly looking forward to spending time with my older sibling. Seems like it had been forever! Indeed it had been. My older sibling and myself were VERY close growing up. When I was 13, they left for basic training, and ultimately ended up serving two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2004 and 2008. Upon arriving home, I was 18 and stupid. They were 22, and had just seen combat. On top of that, the housing market had collapsed, and job prospects in Illinois were limited, even for Veterans. It was a terrible time, and we never really had the chance to re-connect.

Why I'm Inclined to Follow a Spiritual Path Instead of a Successful Career in the Software Industry
Beloved, I sincerely hope that these words will awaken something profoundly peaceful within you and, in doing so, act as a catalyst for my own inner calling. You can read this with an open mind. My aim is not to force new beliefs into you. The purpose here is to invite you to awaken from the dream of compulsive conditioned thinking.

How Spending Time Alone Helped Me Overcome My Loneliness
"When you're lonely when you're alone, you have bad people." ~ Jean-Paul Sartre I have spent most of my life surrounded by people, which is probably why I never realized I was lonely. For most of my adult life, the only peaceful moments I have had were the beginning and the end of the day. Other than that, my mind was filled with conversation, notifications, and distractions.
