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.

If You Let Go You’ll Be the Best Version of Yourself
A lot of us are attached to certain things, and I think it’s fine, at the end of the day, we are human beings, and it’s in our nature to want to have the feeling of owning something very important to our lives, it can be a person, an object, a status, etc. The feeling of ownership it’s something inevitable for people, but the problem comes down when what we think “correspond” to us becomes such an integral part of our own identity, that we think that this person or situation will last forever, that we can’t let it go, that if one day that thing is missing in our lives, our whole world falls apart.

Science and Diary Writing: Mental and Physical Benefits
I’ve been told that diary writing is only a certain demographic; troubled hipsters or spoiled kids who use their diaries to whine endlessly. They’ll write pages soaked with tears brought on by insignificant problems which are amplified by their weakness and sensitivity. In other words, diary writing is for the weak snowflakes of the world who would rather cry about their problems than solve them. The type of person natural selection would “take care of”.

The Backlash of Being Overly Nice
Many people around the globe were raised and learned from experience that being nice to someone is the right way to go. The thing is, that this attitude (as with almost anything in the whole world) has its limits; we can’t exaggerate its usage both to various people and in different situations in life. And the same goes oppositely, of course.

The Truth About Journaling
Ever been so angry that you can't do anything but kind of scream and growl? And then a few seconds later the tears come. Or maybe a family member did something that hurt you and all you could think to do was slam the door and yell ugly things on your way out.

Why you should meditate every day
Understanding Meditation Meditation is an age-old practice used to be present and aware. A consistent meditation practice promotes mental clarity, calmness, and stability. Many faith-based communities and religions incorporate meditation into their spiritual traditions and teachings, but the techniques are non-secular and accessible to everybody and their ability level. If you have breath in your body, then you can meditate.

Until my Last Breath
Until my Last Breath (thoughts of a chaotic mind.) By: Destiny Tozier As I sit here pondering the time that has gone by, freshly turned 35 as of January 13, a mother and a college student I question what it is I truly want from this life. Knowing I spent most of it in a chaos I could have changed or walked away from at any time, fighting battles that at the end of the day never were mine to fight, spending months at a time on a healing journey that makes me wonder if I have ever healed at all. The only victory I think I won in the war of tearing myself to the core, was the actual ability to let go of things and people that no longer or have never made me feel good nor brought anything of substance to the table because they didn't care to be a part of what was important to me.

A Life of Trauma
It is my hope that one day the world will see suicide differently, and that by changing the stigma around suicide that more people will be willing to not only admit that they are not okay, but that when they do, the people around them will have better resources to help them. Why is this so important to me? Well, I’d be happy to tell you. But please be aware, this story might contain triggers and be a little intense for some.
