How to heal fully and properly.
The Eagle that flew better than the rest
This is a photo that should bring a tear to any athlete who was coached by their father from the day they could walk. It's a bond that's like no other, and when it ends because of a tragic death, all that you are able to do is just look back and enjoy the memories and bond you two created together. It's a relationship that blossomed into something way more than a father/son, or a coach/pupil. By the ending, the two of you became truly the best of friends.

Using The Law of Attraction as an Abuse Survivor
If you’ve read anything about the Law of Attraction, the theory that like attracts like, then you've got the basic idea. The belief is that we can manifest a change of luck by feeling the vibe of what we want.

Safety
I have always paid close attention to people and situations that feel safe. It’s my superpower. I am drawn to them. Safety, to me, is not always a person or a situation. Sometimes it’s a place. Sometimes, it’s just a feeling. I have spent a long time learning to tell the difference between what is safe and what is a band-aid for insecurity.

What Are We Hiding From?
As I start this entry today, I’m still at the point where I haven’t decided to share my blog as of yet. Actually I haven’t even told anyone I started a new blog yet. Just the ability to write something like I did yesterday in a “public” setting, whether shared or not, was a step I hadn’t taken in quite some time. Well, I wanna back space and correct, but I’m doing that as little as possible here. It’s a step I haven’t taken at all. Yes, I’ve posted on Facebook and Instagram in support of those fighting mental illness, and I’ve confided in new friends and old about the struggles I’ve conquered and faced alongside my diagnosis. I’ve read the books and offered my take and advice to those who may need it, but have I posted on social media all of me. God no. I know many people who have displayed the balls to admit each piece of them others may judge with what could be perceived as no fear, and I applaud them for it when I see it. I love the support I see people give. It’s a burden we all bare that there is definitely stigma and denial all over that we fight to conquer, and I know we always will.

With Pain, Comes Strength
Two; Clicks In high school there were many different groups or clicks of people around the playground. I went to an all girls school so when one girl was annoyed and if an argument started then sometimes it would escalate quickly.

An Awakening You Never Saw Coming
How do you view yourself? When you think of yourself, what comes to mind? Reciting the above is how I keep tabs on my current mental state of mind. As we get older we realize how important our mentality is, how much it contributes to aspects of our lives. Going through past events it's clear to tell how crucial mentality actually is. You might be thinking, what is this guy talking about? Let's do a little exercise so we are all on the same page and understand exactly what I'm speaking about.

Hold it in, Let it out: An Inner Monologue
I want you to take a deep breath. I’d ask you to close your eyes, but that rather defeats the purpose of me writing all this, doesn’t it? Fill your lungs with as much as you can. Now hold it in. As long as you can, then let it all out. Now do it again. Again. Again. How do you feel, any better? Hmm, perhaps try it again. Once more? They aren’t real, just ignore them. Relax. It’s okay. They’re starting to settle, aren’t they? The others? All those little voices swirling around in a violent storm of uncertainty and fear trapped inside that complicated head of yours. It’s terrifying, isn’t it? Don’t worry, just breathe. In. Hold. Out. In. Hold. Out. In. Hold. Shit, it burns. No, don’t think about it. Hold it in. Keep going. Nothing else helps. The pills, meditation, exercise, nothing. They’re not gone yet. Don’t cry. Don’t let them know how bad it is. Don’t diminish their faith in you. They need you. Forget about the voices. Block it out. Please. Keep breathing. Keep—oh fuck it. No, stop breathing. It won’t help, they won’t leave. Remember? People like us don’t get to breathe. We get no respite from nightmarish world we see before us. This cold world. It’s not worth it anymore. Let go, let it all go. Drift away...NO! Keep breathing. Breathe, you coward. Why are you here? Why haven’t you stopped yet? That’s right, you can’t. Keep breathing. You’re not here to fall any further. Keep breathing. It burns, damn, I can’t keep it in. You’re okay, you’re not an addict. It’s helping you. It doesn’t control you. It doesn’t control you. It doesn’t control you. It doesn’t control you. It doesn’t—wait. Be quiet...you hear that? They’re only whispers now, aren’t they? You’re almost there. Keep going. Remember why you’re here. It will be okay. Fill your lungs one more time. Hold it in.

Mesmerized
Mesmerized Was observation a gift or a curse, she wondered. All the minute details, encumbering her mind, were they useless, useful? She pondered. It is true, the small things often are transformed from her imagination, she thought. She wondered, what will create the larger transformation? Not those that resemble the brown paper that was cushioning the items shipped in a box that wraps an old floral foam which is held in by branches and a ribbon, no glue needed.

Nara's Pandemic Diaries
I stare at my ceiling wondering, waiting, hoping that today will be different. I used to have so much motivation and determination to do what I love. Now I wonder if I care about anything anymore. My dreams my passions, a plan for a career. What career will I even be allowed to have? These thoughts often antagonize me.

Narcissism | My profound reason; to walk away…
it's your chance to hold on to your power.Over the years, I wasted many hours of my life trying to defend myself from narcissistic people. Until, the day, I finally stopped it. Now, at the age of 27. A lot of therapy, change, and lessons learned. I have learned so much more about the phycology of myself, and others. I no longer feel the need to explain myself. My actions do. I hold myself accountable when I am in the wrong but I do not expect others to.
