Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Depression and Evolution
As humans, we often hold ourselves above most other animals in the world, as if we are somehow inherently more special or more important, but the fact is that we are victims to evolution just as much as anything else. The human genus, homo, developed from the Australopithecus genus, and over a few million years came to encompass nine currently known different human species, like the Homo neanderthalensis, Homo erectus, and of course Homo sapiens.

Thank You For Everything
Hey Uncle Felix, I know it’s been a while and because of what happened between you, mom and dad I didn't get to see you when I got back to California. I was really sad when the switcheroo happened since you were the one that really talked me into coming back. In the end Mom ended up doing what I knew she was going to do. Looks like she screwed us both over, after I got back Mom didn't seem to want me there which was odd since she was the one that was trying to get me to come home originally. When I clarified to her again that I wanted to keep my daughter and not give her up like she was pushing for she dropped me off at a homeless shelter. Her and Danny said they could not enable me by letting me stay with them, despite the fact they asked me to come home, I was getting interviews despite being pregnant and I was buying my own food.

My Year with Fear
I'm one week away from 28 and a few days ago, I started thinking about what sort of "gift" I could give myself this year. I hadn't gifted myself anything before in honor of a birthday, but after this past year, I thought maybe it was time to start a new tradition to celebrate.

Break The Chains
Imagine being fifteen years old, attending a predominantly African American school when you’re the same as they are but your skin color is pale in tone due to albinism. Imagine everyone complementing one another and you’re the sheep surrounded by wolves.Your parents do their best to instill confidence in you and shelter you with love and kindness because they know that people in this world can be cruel and insensitive about your condition. Relentless bullying and mistreatment eventually leads to you believing everything that you’re told about yourself. Imagine with all the mistreatment and lack of confidence and self awareness, you’re not dressed the best but only in what your parents can afford at the time. To everyone else your clothing is considered rags but to you it’s a blessing because the year before, you and your parents were living in a car.

And
[Content Warning: abuse, assault, suicide] I don’t remember how old I was, three or four or five—does it really matter anyway?—when I was first abused, when I was first assaulted, when I was first hurt. I don’t remember everything that happened, only bits and pieces, and fear—I remember the fear.

When You're Stressed Out and Almost Broke, Turn to This Helpful Mindfulness Website
*** Several years ago I felt like I’d hit the jackpot when I found the website DailyOM.com. This is just an awesome website I want you to know about. I swear I’m not hawking QVC-style inspirational website content. I’m not an affiliate.

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?

In the life of mental health
In this day and age is mental health as recognised as it’s said to be? Do people still get failed by the mental health system? Mental health in the olden days was not spoken about nor had the help we have today? Do we really have that help these days?

Introverted Intuition
What is Intuition (In general)? Your intuition is your brain's unconscious thoughts that do not use logic. Instead, intuition relies on your instincts. For example, there are days when you feel as if you can lay out all the possibilities in front of you, or you may have a hunch on one particular outcome.
