Why I Chose Vocal?Top Story - October 2020
What Exactly is Vocal? According to the Vocal Team, "Vocal is a platform for supporting, discovering, and rewarding creators. Vocal provides storytelling tools and engaged communities for writers, musicians, filmmakers, artists, and all types of creatives to get discovered and fund their creativity." (Vocal Team, 2019) Isn't that amazing? Where else are you going to get this great of an opportunity? Sure, you might find something that is similar, but I promise Vocal is the best option. They encourage you and give you so many opportunities. They even have a free option for you. You know it is rare to find things free in the world we live in today.

I wonder how often people with anxiety get told to just deal with it, to trust God and he will get rid of your anxiety, or to just "be happy." It is not easy, we do not make it up in our heads, and it is very real.

Of Course I had to be a...
"You can't please everyone so stop trying," they would tell me. I also heard, "Nobody likes a people pleaser." Of course even after I was told by friends and family a million different times, I still tried to please everyone I met. I couldn't stand the idea of someone not liking me and if someone didn't, I would constantly try to fix it.

How I came to Marry A....
Never in a million years did I ever think that I would marry a military man. I always said I could never be a military wife because I would always be afraid of losing my husband overseas or never getting to see him due to deployments. I always imagined I would end up with a music guy or really anything but a marine.

The Importance of Mental Health
Maintaining mental health is no joke. Ever since I started the path on getting a degree in psychology, I have learned about the importance of making sure my personal mental health is good. In an article by Dr. Glen Xiong, he states, "Mental health is integral to living a healthy, balanced life." (Xiong, 2018) Our mental health is such a large part of our lives that if ignored can have severe consequences in my opinion. What exactly happens if you leave mental illness untreated? Here are some of the consequences according to Joel Young:
