Feel Free To Live Your Life
Feeling free feels amazing. I felt it a few times. Not every day. But that is fine. There were a few events in my life that happened, and that I don’t feel free, and didn’t feel free. So, I built a wall around myself. Only those I trust I will let in. Even then, I am really careful they won’t betray my trust.

That Time I Lived In A Nudist Community With Aliens?!
I guess the truth is the title is not quite how it sounds, yes I lived in a “nudist community” but it was much more complex than simply just that. On my travels to the other end of the world, deep in the madness of Melbourne city, I started to grow tired of the hustle and bustle of city life.

Reading For Mental Health
I read alot, both online and offline. I read many different types, and I read a good amount of stories on Vocal. One of the good things about reading is that you can read with or without purpose, and I find a balance of both is really healthy for me. My days can vary from busy to boring, especially on those days when I am stuck at home with not much to do. I decided to get around this by including reading with my job as a writer. Obviously like many of you, I do have chores and I go out because I like to try and keep myself active too, but there are those in-between days when the weather is horrible or everything I need to do has been finished, and then I go out of my mind with boredom and I hate that! I also have some major issues with insomnia, and if I am suddenly wide awake with nothing to do for hours, that can be more frustrating than insomnia itself, so I like to pull out my kindle or laptop, and set it to dim light and read until I am tired. If you do this, it is important to dim the light as a brightly lit screen will make you feel more awake, rather than sleep.

All About Crescent City and Drug Rehabs
Crescent City, Florida. A sweet little town nestled about halfway in-between Deland, FL, and St. Augustine, FL, makes Crescent Lake home to around 2,000 individuals. Situated mid-way between North and Central Florida and about an hour and a half to two hours from larger cities like Jacksonville, FL, Crescent City gets the best of both worlds.

Music That Saved Me
It was my first day of high school, I was in a boarding school in Salem, Oregon. Anyways, I was with my older siblings while I was out there, my mother didn't want me to be out of their sight but they basically ditched me when they got their schedules and I was on my own. Before that though we had to be in the cafeteria to get our schedules, I was standing with my siblings to be able to find our last name initial. Once we heard W, we went to the staff that had our schedules and once we got them. we head to the hallways and that was when they left. I was standing in the hallway lost because the very first class I had to go to was Full Circle. I didn't know what that meant so I was walking around trying to ask anyone around me but I was shy I felt very quiet. Until I saw a staff and asked them where that class was and that was when they told me that it was in an old music room, I didn't know where that was since I was a Freshman. Before the bell rung, I had to ask another staff and that was when she told me that she was heading to the same class and she told me to follow her.

Endorphins
Endorphins are endogenous opioids released through the pituitary gland which are thought to mediate analgesia, induce euphoria, and has a key role in the reward system in the brain (Leuenberger,2006). Endorphins play an important part in the psychological benefits of exercise with depression. Furthermore, improved self-esteem is also a psychological benefit of regular physical activity. When a person exercises, their body releases chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins interact with the receptors in the brain which reduces a person’s perception of pain. The endorphins trigger a positive feeling in the body, like morphine, thus, the feeling which follows a run or workout is commonly described as "euphoric." This feeling, is known as a "runner's high," and is generally accompanied by a positive and energizing outlook on life. The endorphin theory postulates; mood elevations and reduced anxiety following acute exercise because of the release and binding of β-endorphins (endogenous opioids) to the receptor sites in the brain. Studies conclude; exercise increases endogenous opioid activity in the central and peripheral nervous system that could induce a euphoric state and reduce pain (Anderson & Shivakumar, 2013).
