How to heal fully and properly.
A world gone crazy
This week has been the same as many of the others and now that the week has ended, I am fatigued. The election was an exhausting affair. The outcome though declared is still not set in stone and that in and of itself wears on a person more. Add in the exhaustion that comes with the pandemic and the depression of staring at the same four walls as one works plays and socializes online. We are trying to keep the world safe, but it seems not matter what measures are put in place the world takes one step forward only to take a giant wind caught breeze backwards. As a people, we need the hope of an end date of the pandemic, the nonsense that is the election aftermath, and the hope of an income. All those things are being denied us since they are outside, mainly, from the control of the general population.

Good Hearts
You help too much: There is no such thing as too much help, but there is a limit to it. Most people tend to think that if they do something for you, then they expect something back in turn. My question is this, has anyone ever stopped to think what it takes to help someone else that you know for a fact can not ever pay you back? I use to be the person that would allow anyone even if it was at my expense when helping. I do not do this anymore because if I were to give all of my blessings away to others who are not even trying to better themselves, what exactly does that leave me to enjoy? You have to set boundaries for yourself when it comes to helping others because if you don't, you will find yourself in an unfair situation. I found myself in loads of situations, and trying your best to get out of those situations can be tricky if you are not mentally prepared for them. I came from a traumatic background, and it was not an easy thing to deal with. I had no idea that the abuser was the person that set the stage for my future relationships with others. I know better now and I am blessed that God has his hands on my life no matter what I face.

The Hope Within Us
I remember my 18th birthday. It was a day most would be excited about, after all becoming a legal adult would open doors that were once closed to me as a child. However, for me this was a day that was anything but exciting. I was 18, depressed, been abused my entire life and always felt alone. So at a time when I should’ve been excited, I was scared and lost because I had been made to feel my entire life that I was nothing and I didn’t have a voice.

I Survived a Toxic Relationship
It was the most painful and confusing time of my life. There were days I convinced myself I’d be okay if I changed nothing. I practiced yoga occasionally, burned my sage, taught my daughter about the crystals in my bag, and sometimes (at least for a moment) I stood on a ground that felt solid. Those days were great and I wouldn’t trade them for all the iced chai tea lattes in the world.

Why it's important to Not lose Hope
Hope. The light at the end of the tunnel. The better times. The dream that makes you smile when you wake up. Hope seems to be in low supply these days and it's understandable with the COVID19 pandemic putting some people's lives either on pause, fast forward or entirely ejected from the tape. But it's important to still have hope in exactly these types of times. Despite the blatant harm that people go through, the destruction of families, the absolute devouring of hope, you need to have some hope.

Apartment 413
November 4, 2020 Can you believe we are already at the month of November? 2020 has come and gone like a flash, by the time you know it we will be celebrating New Years from the comfort of social distancing. Life in this year has been crazy, not only for me but I’m sure for everyone all around the world. This year we lost loved ones, feared for our lives, went into lockdown, witnessed historical events, and in America saw a nation divide. It feels like we all kind of mourned for loss and grew anxious together. Although we also tried to keep the positivity and shine the light on people that were doing amazing things and caring for others in tough times. Still here we are nearing the end of another year, alive.

Am I Happy with Myself?
Up until recently, I never thought about whether I was happy with myself as a person. I always thought about things that could make me happy, or of people that should make me happy. In today’s society, we see so many posts on social media and marketing about “self love” and “self pleasure”, but are we really loving ourselves, or just maintaining an image? What causes us to be unhappy or happy, and how do we maintain happiness? Does trauma really play a role in our mental state?
