How to heal fully and properly.
My Nook
I've always been concerned with finding where I belong. If you asked me today probably laugh it off and change the subject. It's been a long time since I've actually admitted to my shortcomings. Like my fear of being alone, that gets hidden by the anxiety I get when I'm in public. This and more still affects my daily life. A tug-o-war of extremes. Some days I get through with confidence. While others I wake up feeling like the same kid that got bullied at school.

Your journey to heal begins here
Every other day you are reminded of your troubled past, however you still push through. Whether you use music, art, sports, or even your biggest support system you still mange those times of hardship. I’ve dealt and still do to this very moment deal with my own demons from my past. I managed with music, habits, & the people I get comfortable talking to. Sometimes even that isn’t enough to really heal.

The Power Of Catharsis: Release
Have you ever held in something you wanted to release & express? And have you ever done so for a long time? Let me rephrase this: have you ever known someone who is a “bottler” and usually not capable of easily saying what’s on their mind?

From Screens To Screening
Waking “DOWN” Snoozing the alarm clock for 5 minutes is a daily ritual, and by pressing that snooze button, you take your first step towards “medical screening.” Doesn’t this custom show the weakness of your commitments? Every night we promise ourselves to wake up at 6 AM, but after a long unproductive activity that lasts till 2 PM, we push our commitment by 3 hours. I did this almost every day in 2020. How does this connect to our health?

Life with Asperger's
I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was in my first year of school. Despite that my mum had a feeling that I was on the spectrum I was unable to get a diagnosis until I started school. The doctors explained to us that due to the way that my brain had developed it would surely give me problems in the future. we were told that my handwriting would never improve and that I should start typing on a computer. we were also told to see multiple speech therapists and pediatricians. I was seeing a speech therapist and a pediatrician every 6 months but every time we would be sent to see someone else so we were having to tell the same story over and over again. it felt like we were getting nowhere and we still didn't have answers on how I was meant to improve so I would be better prepared for when I was to start my own life.

Why 2020 was actually the BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE:
THE SURPRISING GIFTS FROM A GLOBAL PANDEMIC... So, I get it. This isn’t the most popular opinion. It's maybe even a little outrageous... perhaps even ridiculous... and definitely privileged to some degree... But I've got to say it. I really LOVED 2020. I really did! It was THE BEST. It was my favourite year in a long, long time...and I am just not as excited as everyone else seems to be to kick it to the curb and see it end and be over with....

A Glorious Year
Cheers to the new year, 2021. A toast! As we all know and can attest, life has its unexpected twists and turns, but I am certain that no other year will ever be harder or more challenging than the previous. I am hoping that you, 2021, will have brighter beginnings and much sweeter endings.

Broke College Grad Diaries - Part 5 - Self Reflection
Hey, me. It’s you, from 2021. How are you doing? You don’t need to answer that – I’m you, remember? I know you’re struggling and if you could hear me ask “how are you”, you’d probably be so happy because people don’t ask you that enough. There still aren’t a lot of people who care to ask that now, but those who do, genuinely care for you… Me… Us?

The Season of Giving
Recently, I found myself back once again in the middle of the Christmas season. I was brought back to the memories of the magic this season brought to me when I was a young boy. For years now, because of some pretty tough circumstances across the last decade, I hadn't done a very good job of celebrating the season. I always gave gifts to my children, but as far as any decorating or getting into the Christmas spirit, I just hadn't. This year, however, I wanted to change that.

How I Came To Manifest Positivity And How You Can Do the Same!
As a citizen and a black woman I was pretty uneasy during most of this year, with ‘dat rona’ and Donald Trump as president. I was terrified. Unfortunately, I was also dealing with a lot of mental pain outside of the stress from the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protest. I learned a lot about myself this year as well, I learned that I’m a pretty toxic individual with severe anxiety issues. By toxic, I mean I’m emotionally abusive to those I care about. I developed it through childhood (My Narcissistic Family). At times, I have been dismissive toward people's feelings, made fun of others insecurities and, I even gaslighted a few individuals as well. Additionally, I had a lot of anxiety attacks this year and it wasn’t because of the corona virus per say.
