Stop It With The Filters
Stop It With The Filters I want to talk about being honest with ourselves. Honest about who we are and how we are in this current moment. I think that a lot of us tend to filter through our days so that we can manage that weight we carry. We wake up, get ready for the day and apply the best filter we can in order to seem “normal”, so that no one has to worry for us. Then when we come home and wash off the day, that weight bares down harder than it did when you left because you thought the filter would work. But it didn’t.

Ripple Effects
Thoughts of who I used to be travel through my head at such a high speed, making me fall on my knees. Tears streaming down because the pain from the fall went right through my chest into my heart, making me bleed from the inside out.

By Proxy
A young mother reported her son missing in June of 2001 and she never saw him again. She was walking to the park with her son in her arms. Loosening her arms to let him down and play. He was only two years old at the time, curious about everything and anything that was around him. His name was Liam Cooper, named after his grandfather. The young mother turned around to go get something from her bag and to sit down to watch her son play. That was the biggest regret that she has from that day. She turned back around and Liam was gone. She couldn’t find him anywhere. It was like he was never there, to begin with.
