A New Creation Made of Hues
We live in the contrast of retreating and hiding our pain in black or striving for a false reality of laced white. The ability to live in the middle and embrace our pain with redemption and truth helps us bring our perspective through a kaleidoscope of colors.
A New Creation Made of Hues
I’m a collection of hues
Every part of me stained
Wearing each encounter
Each heartbreak
Every tear aligned with every smile
I used to drench it in black
Tucking away every piercing blue
Never wanting an eye exposed
That a bright soul like me
Could adorn a gloomy grey
But I’ve learned that scars
Open up space
For a mixture of hues
The contrast of a joyous yellow
Against a bruising purple
My prideful chartreuse no longer alone
Redeemed by the lessons of my cleansing scarlets
Embraces the eyes
In the most peculiar way
Yet I was pressed into being just one color
The bright, strong, most boldest shade
I’ll stand tall in my blue smudges
No longer interested in society’s masterpiece portraying the blank canvas
the “best foot forward “
I am a mess of the most beautiful colors
A Footprint of fossilized rainbows

Self Help: Grifters' Gospel
On Self-Help, Snake Oil, and the Illusion of Change Psychology professionals and students can be imagined on two opposite sides of a line called self-help books: likely a larger group opposes pop-science and step-by-step manuals filled with talk of success, journaling, and not giving a f**k; others love them, but they aren’t many.
