Your Life Isn't Over, You're Twenty Three
I’m supposed to be writing. Instead, I grip the sink and heave gasping breaths, head bent to avoid my own reflection. If I look up I’ll see myself standing there, doing nothing, being nothing. I heave in, heave out. And each heavy breath is another second lost.

What Is Addiction?
People joke that the latest trends are addictive - the latest game, the latest toy, the latest TikTok dance - are all described as an addiction. In reality, though, addiction is not fun, it is far from enjoyable. Addiction is painful and traumatic. It turns your life upside down and has the ability to destroy your dreams and relationships. And these days there are so many more things that create such pleasure that they can become sources of addiction. There is an addiction to food, addiction to social media and addiction to video games. So it is important to understand exactly what is addiction, and with this knowledge, we are wiser to treat it.

Get Your Mind Right
I feel the need to release some great tips about keeping our minds healthy. It isn’t something we as people are always conscious of during our busy daily lives, unless we’ve been trained to think about it. Without someone to discuss what is on our minds, we would need to think through it ourselves. Thinking it over doesn't automatically mean you've found a solution or choosing what is best overall. I am sharing a process that can help someone through a lot of situations throughout their life. It is like a guideline to being a happy, healthy, productive person.

Be Careful of the Howler
by: Dennis R. Humphreys Scientists have been studying the human mind for years. The one thing they found consistently, is that is an amazing result of evolution. Whether individual, or multiple brains acting as one, they can generate different outcomes than expected. They can increase occurrences when the odds dictate otherwise. When flipping a coin for heads or tails, normally you get a fifty, fifty chance for either coming up. When a person concentrates his attention on the outcome being heads the number recorded can be something more like fifty one percent heads, forty nine percent tails. It isn't a big difference but it's a measurable difference that demands attention. The power of the mind is not fully understood but the best example is what hypnosis is able to achieve... many times it isn't just measurable but there's a physical outcome in reality.

What Means To Be Human?
As humans we have a high capacity for love, but we also can hate very well too. I don't know if I will ever understand why others hate so much. What does it teach us in the end? In early 2021, there was an overthrow of the US government not that I am surprised. If history has taught us anything there will always be strong racism, and hate. But how do we overcome it? How does it end?

Volcano Child
When I was a little girl, my 2nd grade teacher told my mom that I have a tantrum worse than a toddler’s. My mom - angry and embarrassed- told her that she’s going to straighten me out. Did she take me to therapy? No, but let’s just say there’s a belt with my name on it. This method worked for my older sister so it should work for me, right? Not exactly and the crazy thing is I still remember that day as if it happened yesterday. The pain I felt after the spanking and the lesson I learned: my feelings don’t matter.
