An Open Letter
I was a messed up kid with a messed up home life. I was rebelling as much as I could without getting hurt. Skipping school, smoking weed, stealing money and cigarettes from my mom, going on joy rides when she fell asleep drunk. I wore see-through shirts and too small jeans and listened to music I didn't even like. I just needed someone to give a shit. That's all. Just someone. Anyone. I chose you.

A Practice of Making Peace With Ourselves
For weeks I thought I was dying. There I said it. I was told by my gynecologist that there are masses in my right ovary and they could potentially be cancerous but, to not think too much about it. Which of course, I did. The first week after that appointment I had to come to terms with so many things I had taken for granted. My fertility and the possibility I may not be able to bring life into this world; my mortality, and what that would be like to not only die young but to leave behind a partner who would have to carry that hurt for the rest of his life. We both went through the emotions of what things could look like for us if my prognosis was negative, and it sucked. I started to spiral into this place of “why me?!”, how come I couldn’t just be normal like everyone else my age getting married and having babies and not worrying about their insides rotting away prematurely.

My Story
I am a very shy, introverted person by nature. I love and admire alternative looking people. In this I include those who have piercings, tattoos, dyed hair, shaved heads, and unique clothing styles. My desire to change my own style weighed heavily on my mind for years.

Being A Shorty
There was an article int the Pasadena/San Gabriel Valley Journal (April 15, 2004) written by Thulani Davis that talked about a recent study conducted by Motivational Educational Entertainment (MEE) where teens and young adults ages sixteen to twenty were interviewed about the heightened disrespect and open disdain for Black women. There was one paragraph in the article that stood out to me and made me realize that the issue of disrespect was not just an adolescent one but an adult one as well. The study refers to the teens as “the hip-hop generation” who are most likely children of the first “hip-hop generation” which is my generation. I know just as many men my age who have the same mentality as this younger generation because they were the first to have this “hip-hop” mentality and they have now passed this way of thinking on to their children.

Relishing Enforced Self-Isolation
Plagued with depressive pensive melancholy, over the years such emerged as the epitome of my solitude existence. Supressed by intermittent therapeutic interventions, melancholic moods were the source of a perverse comfort against a rising backdrop of paralysing episodic anxiety that dogged so many travels, and human interactions.

Why is your self-image important?
Is your mental self view significant? What job does your mental self view play? You have probably heard that you should be certain, or have the option to adapt even in a troublesome relationship. The mental self view assumes a key part in breaking free from harmful and troublesome connections, or guaranteeing that you remain all around put in that poisonous relationship. It's fascinating to realize that controllers or poisonous people center around breaking your or their casualty's mental self view, to guarantee they can apply more control. So we should take a gander at what the mental self portrait is and the job it plays.
