Reflection
A poem acknowledging my past mental health struggles and the power gained when I recognised that I deserved to take care of my well-being. This is a journey of self-love and recovery and opting for a life of passion, joy and kindness to myself.
I look into the mirror and I smile at myself, a greeting kind of smile you'd give to somebody else.
An acknowledgement for one's life, an appreciation for one's life.
Face to face, a glint in her eye and a pleasure to see this girl smiling inside.
That wasn't always the case you see, As she sent shivers all over me.
A fright, a scare, with tears streaming down her cheeks, she could hardly speak.
She pulls at her hair and screams into the air, i'm scared of the girl that stood right there.
I now look into the mirror and I smile at myself, as it's much easier than seeing somebody else.

What Happens To Your Brain When You Stop Multitasking
Digital technology is the culprit that is causing us to doom scroll when tired, disengaged and unmotivated with the content that motivated you to log onto your device to consume in the first place. That is only the beginning. In the modern workplace (and even when filing cabinets were around, I confirmed this with my adopted parents to get my facts right); reading files while you are supposed to be present to the caller on the other end of the phone line is another classic example of multitasking that causes your brain (although adaptable and intelligent) to lose focus and concentration.

I've Just Realized
The President doesn't understand music. There. It felt very good to write that; it's some thing I just realized today. Oh , yes; he plays it. He TRUMPets it in rallies and meetings, pumps it across the airwaves when he gathers up our minutes waiting for his late arrival.
