recovery
Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
Dear John Letter. Content Warning.
Dear John, For more than 40 years, that sneaky move you made on me has plagued me. We haven't seen one another for many decades, but the agony has not gone away. Were we to meet and talk, you would probably have no memory of that, but my trajectory changed permanently, and not for the better.

Reasons to Stop Worrying...
Today, we're diving deep into the age-old struggle of worrying about the future. We all do it, right? We spend countless hours stressing over what might happen, what could go wrong, and how we can control every aspect of our lives to ensure a smooth ride ahead. But is this constant fretting really worth it? Or are we just spinning our wheels in a futile attempt to predict the unpredictable?

Human Revolution
Human Revolution is a concept formed by 2 former presidents of the Soka Gakkai (Translation from Japanese - Value Creation Society) Josei Toda and Daisaku Ikeda. The Soka Gakkai International (SGI) is a global organization based on buddhist practise passed down from mentor to disciple since the 13th Century in Japan. The founder, Japanese priest Nichiren Daishonin proclaimed that chanting the title of the Lotus Sutra, Myoho Rengé Kyo (Nam myoho rengé kyo) would make one’s authentic self, or Buddha nature, the prevalent life condition. By aligning with the mystic law of myoho rengé kyo, Nichiren taught that human beings can constantly create value in their lives and their environment, leading to the realization of a peaceful and harmonious world view called Kosen Rufu.

A journey through grief
Grief The fight to heal from grief has been one I’ve trudged through like a soldier entering their last battle. With fear and courage, I take every step through the mud filled with regret, pride, and awe. You lose yourself to grief, and the reward at the end of the journey is supposed to be finding yourself again. Beautiful, isn’t it, the things you find in this search for yourself? That is, until you’ve lost your way in the search for something meaningful.

How Random Posts Enlighten My Mental Health Journey
I have always enjoyed writing and explaining concepts using creative ways and word choice that allow me to really connect to the heart of the reader or listener. But making time has always been difficult, so my solution was to use my social media platform as a writing tool to expand my creative sparkle. I committed to a weekly post on my Instagram account using one of my many photos I kept from random places and using it as a prop to write. Typically, I start brainstorming days ahead as I go over the picture selection and what to write about or I can come up with something creative on the spot and post it right away. This creative process is rewarding as it helps me get out of the mundane, while inspiring others. Although there was a flow in my creativity, it lacked structure and organization.

Work and Self-Worth: An Overachiever Origin Story
Growing up, my parents were always working. My dad had a full-time job as a train conductor and a part-time DJ business, open for all your local wedding and bar mitzvah needs. Meanwhile, my mom's family ran a restaurant for the first decade of my life. There, my mom was a waitress, manager, back-room stocker, accountant, and probably a bunch of other roles I can't remember.
