It's Coming For You...
Have you ever had one of those nightmares where something hideous is coming to get you? It’s getting closer and closer, your heart is beating fast and fear is infusing every inch of your body. You know that you need to wake up, you have to wake up, you try to move, but you can’t, you’re completely paralysed, and it’s coming closer and you can't stop it. You can't wake up, you have to wake up.

How To Not Hate People.
I was on the bus yesterday, ready to murder the man standing next to me with his mask down by his chin. You’ve found yourself in something similar; consumed by anger at how stupid someone can be. You’ve followed rules your whole life and just can’t help but feel vitriol when you see someone breaking them, as though they are somehow above these rules.

Dream Journey
Say, if you were to delve into a person's mind. Now, what would that look like? What would you see? Would you honestly see red muscly veins like that segment in Jimmy Neutron where he goes into brain blast? I doubt it. The human brain is much more complex than you'd ever think, especially when you begin to truly decipher and analyse how your mind works, picking apart how it's structured, and what truly makes it... well, you?

Moments of Weakness
At the moment of loneliness you think about one person. One feeing that makes you happy. You choose to focus on the things that make you happy so you don’t have to feel so lonely. Sometimes it works. Most times it makes you more sad because you are not feeling that now. Times of isolation and loneliness, you think about one thing more than before. From a touch to their warmth. The feeling overcomes you because in those moments of loneliness it becomes all that brings you joy.

Reeducation, Addiction Treatment, And Alternative Sentencing Should Have Been Tried Before Mass Incarceration.
Incarceration should never have been the only answer to dealing with criminality in America. The changes that have started in the country are actually overdue. Unfortunately, anything long overdue and being done to fit political reelection goals will work out poorly. While change is needed, and I've believed this for years, it should be tempered with wisdom. Wisdom, knowledge, and a clear-cut plan of action are the only way to find ourselves with a better system than we had before.

Over 40 million Americans, ages 18 and older, suffer from the most diagnosed mental health illness, Anxiety. Why are we just accepting this? Why are we allowing this to happen? We allow this, we accept this because we think it is normal. Anxiety is an illness caused by many factors like genetics and disease. However, it is also caused by environment, trauma, and upbringing. I know being "stressed" and having anxiety are not the same thing. However, being stressed, experiencing regular stress can lead to Anxiety.
