Inner child
I’d never sought to tell my stories of important distributions, and I don’t know how to start essays explaining who exactly I am. My life has always felt like one absorbed and distributed with pain. I know I could better explain what could be so important and valid in my life, but I can’t. I get flashbacks in my most traumatic Momentums; sometimes, I scream and cry to numb my pain. I can’t share the stories of my life, not now, and not yet, for my time is not in the spectrum for my pain exceeds the maximum limitations. I tell you I’m fine, but I will never be at all. I smile on the outside while my overbearing heart screams into my mind.~save me~

Am I still Sober?
My first post here on Vocal was about my journey to sobriety from alcohol. It's called "55 days Sober." I realized that i wrote that article six months ago and never made an update. The question that everyone asks when they see sober posts is "Are you still sober?" The short answer for me is technically no i have had drinks since I've last wrote. But I want to share my story, what I've learned along the way, how I've healed, my future goals etc. This could be a very long post, but I hope that it will help at least one person in their journey of sobriety. One thing I want to note is sobriety does look different for every person, what works for one person may not for another. And that is perfectly okay.

The Lie.
I wonder exactly how beaten down I’ve been by this thing, which has been wrenching me apart since I was four. Inspirational stories by people who overcame adversity and who went on to do amazing things, demoralise me. They are able to continue where I cannot.

Discovering Your New Normal After Trauma
Growing up, my normal was chaos and madness due to some less than stellar events in my childhood and a messed up family. Through the constant struggles, I have learned what to appreciate. And for me, every aspect of life is worth being appreciated. But above anything else, I appreciate normalcy.
