*You can find this story in full on Tapas and Wattpad Typing away on my laptop, my goal is to get this post done today. I'm running late on my deadline. Usually I try to get a blog post published twice a week, but this week has been a bit off. Still, I persist to stay on schedule. Blogging is something I found more enjoyable than doing the jobs I had before. Something where I don't have to worry about others' rules and I get the freedom to build the structure that works best for me. Where my bad days can happen without fear that I have to push myself to do something that feels overwhelming or too hard in those moments. So being my own boss in a way is what I knew I wanted to strive for.

His mind was a battleground, torn between reality and delusion, each vying for control of his fractured psyche.

Did You Say Death By Mental Illness ?
“We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness.” The words were deliberate. Powerful. And full of truth.

How to care for oneself while grieving
How to care for oneself while grieving Grief in its entirety strikes while you least expect it.

To be or not to be in the constant state of despair is not in one’s hands, as melancholy varies in its intensity ranging from a dejected mood to deep and chronic loneliness. Oftentimes people subject their negativity to a mere passage of time, but often there is an underlying cause that needs to be addressed and healed to become in a state of awareness of their emotions and innate being.
