Tangible reality...
Tangible reality Your reality is a manifestation of what you believe you are worthy and capable of. It’s a direct correlation in so much as if you believe you are destined for greatness, you won’t settle for anything less than because you know what is fated for you. You refuse to buy other people’s perceptions of you, and you don’t allow your circumstances to dictate your future. This process is an evolutionary one because one doesn’t wake up and Instantly adopt this mindset. As humans, we have more power than we are evenly remotely aware of. There’s not a science or name for the intangible presence that you become attuned to. If a person decided that their life sucks and then believe they’re doomed and destined for a life of mediocrity and obscurity, then that is what will be presented, and that person will subconsciously disregard opportunities that could contradict that mindset and put them in advantageous positions. Fear, resentment, failure, and embarrassment will hold a person in check with a higher success rate than any other system of oppression ever could. Your environment has the ability to shape you, but it can never have the authority to define you. Even a plant raised in a violent home can reach its full bloom. May not be by conventional means, but given the nourishment, it will fight to reach maturity and it won’t think twice about whatever obstacles were presented along the way.

Scattered....
The hardest part when feeling the urge to write is the actual writing part. The desire is there, the need is present, but sometimes the brain is slow to spit out the right words. Correction, any words at all that make sense. This probably explains why many of my intros are so terrible because it’s like an old engine that needs a second to get going. I’m not sure where I want this piece to go, hence the title.

THE MAN WHO LIVED IN A TRASH BAG
I was in Bakersfield on a business trip this past December. It was 45 degrees outside. I was walking from my warm hotel room to a Denny's to grab a late dinner. As I made my way to the restaurant I had to walk underneath a Freeway overpass.

I CRASHED MY CAR INTO A POLE...ON PURPOSE
I'm bipolar. I'll start off by saying that. This way you have a better understanding of why I did what I did. In 2009 I was at a Target store early in the morning picking up a CD (yes they existed back then) from my favorite artist...Tupac. I hadn't slept in 2 days. I was on a MANIC binge. I'm bipolar 1. This means I have more manic episodes than depressive ones. I felt invincible that day, indestructible even.

Surviving a Failed Suicide
On March 8th, I was admitted to a psychiatric facility for suicidal ideation. I spent my time in the psych ward writing, connecting with other patients, and processing my emotions. After two weeks off support groups and medication adjustments, I was discharged and went on my way, fully intent on enjoying my life. Five days later, I was COVID-positive.

Fountain Pens and ADHD
I am someone who has ADHD. I didn’t get diagnosed with it until about three years ago, because ADHD is much harder to detect in women. While I don’t have the typical hyperactivity that’s stereotypical for people with ADHD, I am quite spacey and have always had problems with time management. One of the things that can help to manage ADHD is doing things or using things that engage and stimulate the brain. This is where fountain pens come in!

Psychologist: Women’s "Sexual Psychology" Development Law | "First Time" Unforgettable
There are countless firsts in life, the first time to learn words, the first time to leave my hometown, the first time to face the world alone, and the first time to surrender my body. Perhaps for most men, giving up their body for the first time is not worth remembering.

In the eyes of many parents, if the children’s room is always messy, the parents will think that the children are lazy, and sometimes they will often talk about them.
