The Commercialization of Mental Health and the Impact of Blue Monday
I'm starting to empathize with January lately. It constantly receives negative attention, doesn't it? It's burdened with gloominess, darkness, and cold, and everyone's financially strained due to Christmas. But is it fair to blame January for all of this? Did it willingly position itself right after the annual feast of overindulgence, when people go wild with mulled wine and think it’s okay to survive on mince pies and brandy butter for 12 consecutive days? Meanwhile, January is mainly associated with abstinence and the infamous Blue Monday, considered the most depressing day of the year, landing on the third Monday of the month.

Hey Vocal Media crowd, I haven't been lurking around here for ages, but guess what? I've already made myself at home, throwing my words out into the void. Let's cut to the chase: 2023 was a nightmare, not just on Vocal, but in this absurd game called life. I've been skulking in the shadows, haunted by the fear of judgment, too chicken to embrace what I'm passionate about. And let's not even start on the flock of headless hens around me, always ready to peck away at my spirit.

“Maybe it’s because it’s the only thing I have left to feel good about,” she said, and I understood immediately what she meant, but I didn’t respond because I didn’t know what to say. But I knew from the start it would break my heart one day.
C. Rommial ButlerPublished 3 months ago in BeatJerry Springer: we’re gonna miss you
i’m going to miss Jerry Springer, like with all my heart and that’s the truth. His talk show was nothing more than rockets in your face and just just entertaining the watch. Average people from around the country would call in regarding any kind of subject matter of the show and then get on and these people that he’d have on. They just said they weren’t superstars or anything they were just people and you never heard from them again that’s commentary on the guests that Jerry Springer show used to have. Nameless people from out of nowhere come with their cheating. They’re stripping there. Any kind of problem they can think of they would come on the stage and it would be one hell of a good episode. all of Jerry Springer talk to episodes were awesome.

I got the idea for this writing challenge and after I wrote it all out I felt a million different things. Basically, you take a song and delve into the lyrics. I used the whole song because I wanted to but you could take just a few stanzas and write more based on that.
