How to heal fully and properly.

How Do You Start Over When You've Already Been Here Before
So here I am again, starting over. Moving to yet another state, lost my job due to this pandemic, and falling out of so many friendships faster than I can blink my eyes.

FACE YOUR FEARS AND WOUNDS
NIGHTMARES AND SYMBOLS I have been having nightmares for a long time and I woke up to another one today. I always see someone is chasing after me, trying to get me and kill me. I don't stop and ask him in my dream, I wonder what's the reason they keep coming but I never think of stopping and asking them.

The Hot Mess That Is Me
I am not a writer. I used to want to be a writer when I was a child. That time seems like ions ago. I stumbled across an ad on Facebook for Vocal and it caught my interest. The more I read the more I knew I wanted to write on here but I didn't have a clue what I could write that anyone would want to read.

WHAT IF
Innocent's favorite color is red because of her love for roses and the beautiful scent that comes with the beauty of the flower. She's one of the six special guests that I will have for my small dinner party today. Therefore, I will have roses at the corners of the house near widows for the evening wind-river to catalyze the scent in the house.

The Enigma of Selfhood
I believe 2020 has been a uniquely powerful and unprecedented (There goes that word again) catalyst for awakening. I really believe generations to come will speak of what this year has done for the evolution of collective consciousness. Quarantine has forced many extroverts into the comfortable shadow of reflection that many introverts call home. Our wrestling match with nature has also put a spotlight on how essential fresh air and sunlight are for the body, mind, and soul.

Being The Black Sheep.
Do you ever feel like the universe just doesn’t like you? When you look around you, you see others being treated the way you want to be treated. You try to act fair & treat others the way you wanna be treated but it’s not enough coming from you. Then, you start to wonder if there is something wrong with you. Well, if you can relate to me, I was young, dumb, selfish, & stupid. I rebelled & burned bridges with a lot of people that cares about me. I turned my back on them. Even with friends, I was always that one that everyone picked on because it was easy to pick on me. I’m known as the “new girl,” I moved around a lot, going to different schools all the time. Then, as I get older, I would crave attention & company more than just being content with myself because maybe it’s me. I am the problem. I spent years trying to be someone I am not just so I can receive what everyone else is receiving. Right? Let’s fast forward to 2020.

THIS Is What Body Art Means To Me.
Earlier in the day, before I made this video, a friend told me that she had attempted suicide last night. My sister committed suicide in late June of 2015. I felt suicidal throughout much of 2014.

Reclaim Hope
"What the actual 2020?" A group of my friends and I, all of whom are deeply involved in monitoring and tracking disasters and emergencies, have decided that this year should simply become a swear word.

Radical Vulnerability
“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore, trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility.”

YouTube's "urban monk"Jay Shetty making wisdom go viral.
Jay Shetty is an Award-Winning Storyteller, world's top Life Coach Podcaster, and a former monk who is making wisdom truly go viral. After finishing business, school he turned down several lucrative offers from prestigious companies in order to become a monk. For three year he traveled across India and all of Europe living as a monk and studying how they lived their profound ways. It didn't end their however. It was just the beginning to his life purpose. He was driven by a desire to share the things he learned with the rest of the world. I wish to share with you brief background about my life story so that you, the reader, can feel and comprehend how immense Jay Shetty has helped me and many across the world heal mentally and spiritually. I come from an Asian culture background, so discipline for us is what America calls "Child Abuse". I was raised by a single mother and with 6 siblings. I became a mother and a woman at the age of 15. It was at that point, life became oh so REAL! Throughout my life as a child deep into my adult years, I experienced a prodigious amount of traumatic physical & mental abuse that almost cost me my children as well as my life. By the age of 24, I was a mother of four children. I had to do everything all on my own. There is so much more to my story but I'll jump to the point where my ultimate journey began. I became engaged in 2015 to a man I thought was great for me and my children. He enchanted me with his charm and, what I thought at the time, was his graceful heart. I couldn't have been more wrong. With a broken past and a heart still on the mend, I had to relive what I thought I had left behind me, more physical and mental abuse. He's immorality and wickedness became exposed and rose to the surface. He was abusive to me far more then what I had already been exposed to. With a loaded gun pointed to my head and him screaming these exact words "If you every leave me bitch I will kill you!". I tried to leave many times, but just couldn't escape. As a results of my attempts to leave he had also took a revolver to his head and pulled the trigger on himself 3 times, as he played Russian Roulette with himself. Over time it got worse. While living under the menace of this chaos I was not feeling right and ended up testing positive for cancer cells. Knowing I had children to live for, that hit me harder then anything I can imagine. Soon after, I finally got the courage to move my children and myself across the country in order to feel safe. It felt like a frightening and impossible task. We arrived in California with only our clothing and photo album of my children. I had little in the way of savings, no job, no friends to turn to. For a short period of time, I lost hope in life, myself and questioning my ability as a mother. I would ask God, "How is it that I keep attracting this into my life, and why did I deserve any of this?" I spent sleepless nights curled on the floor crying myself to sleep, but that was nothing new to my life given my past. What hurt me the most was the feeling of failure, failure of being a good mother. As a mother strong of will and with strong faith, I told myself something has got to give. My heart was heavy and filled with hurt, anger, betrayal. I was unable to return love, concern or form any type of relationship because the fear of being hurt. I felt as though I entered savage mode. I was empty inside and the only love I felt and kept was for my children. I knew that I wanted to move forward in a positive direction, I needed to repair myself mentally and emotionally. I knew I would not be any good to anyone in my life until I heal fully from my past. I started looking into self-therapy and that's when I stumbled upon Jay Shetty on YouTube. It was from that day forward I became a whole new person. Friends and family who had known me for years were totally astonished of who I became. They didn't recognize the person standing in front of them anymore when I reconnected with them, as I cut all communication with my family and friends because of being angry at everyone who had I thought at the time that did me wrong. Jay Shetty's YouTube videos along with his podcast, day by day helped release a lot of anger that I was holding on to. His knowledge and wisdom had taught me how to forgive, to effectively and compassionately communicate, come from a place of compassion and understanding, how to disagree the right way with a soft spoken voice, how to move on from the past, to not judge, find & keep love, to implement more positive thinking and behavior, to listen more to what others have to say instead of being quick to respond to another person, to constantly educate myself and never stop growing. Because of Jay Shetty, I now walk down the spiritual path of life, and it brings harmony and calmness to my mind, body and soul. His words of wisdom have brought out so much positive change in my life with my thinking and behavior, that I never would of thought in a million years, I would become the person I am now. I can honestly say I love even more than I ever did before and I am more humble than ever. I am Jay Shetty's biggest fan, and I will continue to follow his ways, as he has left a remarkable imprint on my soul. Jay also introduced me to Dr. Joe Dispenza (researcher for neuroscience, epigenetics and quantum physics). I started following him due to my illnesses to naturally learn how our brain works, and from there, learn how to cure myself. Jim Kwik (worlds #1 brain coach) is another awesome person I started following due to several head injuries I had sustain along with memory loss. None of this would have ever been possible without Jay Shetty's words of wisdom. All of the wisdom and knowledge has profoundly impacted every aspect of my life and not to mention along with the people that are in my life. I too make a positive impact on people I come across on a daily basis and spread his teaching and words of wisdom. I will list some of Jay Shetty's words of wisdom that help me, and just maybe, whoever reads this, their curiosity will be triggered and they to will start a journey to healing, perhaps make more wisdom go viral.

Living your Passions!
What is passion? The definition of passion is a strong and barely controllable emotion. An extravagant enthusiasm or desire. To me, passions are what bring us joy. Moments that make our spirit feel alive when we are engaged in something. Since I was a child I’ve had a passion for writing. Whether it was stories, poems or music. Another passion I had growing up, that has been embedded in my soul, is to help others. I would always try to help friends who were experiencing toxic households because I had empathy towards their situations. At one point in my life, my mother told me “ You’re not the savior of the world, you must first save yourself.” I realize now what she meant. I would never be of any service to others if I wasn't happy or complete within myself. A person drowning can not help save another from drowning.
