Route to Every Success
We look up to strong and successful individuals, but the ones that garner the greatest respect are the ones who started out as regular people and depended on their own wits to achieve success. These are the folks who went from rags to riches.

I found her
I exhale, I breathe, and I live. I used to end that with, I endure, I am not enduring today, today I am living and I plan to live my days as me. I am on a little getaway in a glass container in the woods and for a woman with PTSD that’s umm more than brave that could almost be considered insanity. I push myself now, no, I push through, over and under the fears that present themselves to me. I did a little happy dance when I got here because I am so proud of myself, everything has been done for me for so many years and even checking into hotels sometimes made me anxious but I did it.

When We Sense Something's Missing
“Every human being senses an inner longing that goes deeper than the longings for emotional and creative fulfillment… a feeling or sensing that another, more fulfilling, state of consciousness and a larger capacity to experience life must exist.” –Eva Pierrakos

Mind Vacuum
Nobody can hear a scream in a vacuum, or so they say. However, when I opened my mouth that terrifying day things changed. There was no sound when my jaw dropped, and the sweet sip of tea formed the shape of a bubble. I had begun to realize that back home, on earth, energy was king but not in the way you’re thinking. I shook my head once or twice back and forth as my fellow cosmonauts glanced in my direction before quickly gathering up that sweet tea bubble and swallowing. Their expressionless faces seemed to last forever before I began speaking. “Energy…” that is the only word I could say as my thoughts raced to if they would think I’d lost my mind so far away from earth and its gravity.

Mental health
When I first started my journey on here I imagined it would go a lot differently. Entirely different than it has if I am honest. I had set my expectations high for myself when I first started writing on here. My mental health was in a completely different space when I first started! I have struggled this mountain. I've had to take a few stops along the way, detoured courses that haven't been working for me. Ran in a circle in search of support just to be reminded that was never the place I was meant to be in. I wanted this space to be a place I could share my poetry, journey through life, random thoughts!

In psychology, what are the similarities and differences between "mood" and "emotion"?
The words emotion and emotion are often used interchangeably, and in some cases they express different content, but the difference is relative. People often regard short-lived and strong emotional responses with episodic feelings as emotions, such as anger, fear, ecstasy, etc.; and stable and long-lasting emotional responses with deep experience as emotions, such as self-esteem, responsibility, enthusiasm, etc. , love between relatives, etc. In fact, there are subjective experiences in strong emotional responses; and emotions are also expressed in emotional responses. Commonly referred to as feelings include both emotions and emotions.

The Hot Slide
Sometimes I climb the slide, other times I tumble down and bump my head. How about you? One thing about life -- no one slides without burning their legs a little. Some days I'm singing "Here Comes the Sun" and "Sunshine on My Shoulders Makes Me Happy." 🌞 Other days I loathe the heat.

On: Just Being.
Someone recently told me that all we have to do is just be, regardless of what ‘being’ might mean to us. ‘Just be and have pride in knowing you are ABLE to just breathe and be, and that alone is enough. You are living and the very purpose of your life is to be present, in whichever way that looks to you, in whichever way that brings you the most peace, joy, and ease.’ - Alexis Creamer

The Jealous sky daddy, his Absentee son and their Two Horned Nemesis
Once school was over in Louisiana, my mother would zoom down highway 49 to drop me off at my grandparents house, thirty minutes from the Mississippi coast. I remember those summers in Stone county, my aunties would dress me up in my “ Sunday’s best”, floral dresses with long plaits in my hair. Going to church during those days was a daunting task, it just didn't sit right in my soul as a young black girl. When we walked inside the church, everyone would be staring with judgmental expressions. The vibe of the church did not feel safe or "heavenlike". The drunk pastor would be sweating like a pig while yelling and screaming from the pulpit condemning people to hell . The church ladies would cry and pass out on the floor, which meant they were “ catching the holy ghost”. Back then, it felt like a circus spectacle in which I was forced to watch. After church, my grandmother would get on the phone with her friends and gossip about everyone from church. The pastor would come over and eat huge plate after church while talking about the church members. Afterwards, my grandmother would be so delighted, every other word would be " Pastor this and pastor that". I just did not understand how one human being had so much powers over others. Plus, I thought everyone was supposed to be saved and Christlike under Christianity. This just didn't make sense to me, even as a child . In addition, my dysfunctional relationship with the jealous sky daddy, his absentee son and their two horned nemesis was scaring me out of my mind. I remember always thinking someone was watching and keeping tabs on my behavior. Around that time,I watched a movie about a woman making a deal with the devil and the devil came back to take her soul. This movie totally freaked me out. I was already afraid Jesus would come back at any time and possibly condemn me to hell eternally. And now, I was afraid of the devil coming to get me too. Come on, give me a break. After that pivotal night, I was scared to sleep alone, go to the bathroom or walk in the kitchen at night. This led to me urinating in my bed. Keep in mind, I was a latch key kid, which meant I spent a lot of time alone while my mom was at work. Therefore, I was stuck in the house ruminating whether or not God, Jesus and the devil was coming to get me. I would cry and pray, asking God and Jesus to help me. They never came. I was a child, and did not know how to articulate my feelings to my mother. I had another conflict during that time, my mom was bi-sexual and would go out to the clubs and party. Under Christianity, being apart of the LBGT community is a sin. Drinking and having sex outside of marriage was frown upon too. My mom was in the closet at that particular time. She would tell me " don't be telling my business in the streets", which meant not to tell anyone she dated women. I felt as if I was forced to keep her "dirty" secret. Remember I was already afraid of going to hell, now I was scared my mom would be joining me . In our neighborhood, children used to tease me because my mom was gay. Sadly, I suffered in silence. The early part of my life I was tormented by religion. Unfortunately, this was my introduction to Abrahamic religion.

5 Things That Happened When I Became an Optimist
For my entire life, I've always been a pessimist. I don't even mean a normal, run of the mill Debbie Downer. I'm that person who is anxious the moment I wake up in the morning, immediately wondering what bad thing will happen when I open my eyes. It got to the point that I wasn't so much being enveloped by a black cloud as I had become the black cloud. Worse yet, not only was I ruining my own life, I was effectively ruining the lives of everyone around me with my bad energy.
