The More I Lose, the More I Win. Content Warning.
This is not a typical essay on weight loss. I am not a typical person. Don’t expect recipes for darling cupcakes made of cauliflower and kale. I am stubborn, smart aleky, protective, immature, sincere, intelligent, intuitive, and sometimes a pain to be around. You should learn from my mistakes. Also understand I am NOT a physician and have NO medical background whatsoever. You should always check with your doctor before you change anything in your life regarding your health, like skydiving or maybe having that weird mole checked out while you’re there.

Sharing Circle
This year has been a hard one, probably the hardest one of my life so far. I have felt the saddest, the most lost, the most confused and have now settled on trying not to feel anything. I don’t talk as much and prefer to keep everything to myself. There is definite guilt because I have left friends and family behind in order to keep going. Not talking or sharing makes me feel better, as crazy as that sounds, it keeps me under control and still. I don’t know if what I’m doing is right or wrong but after losing myself for three months I’m too scared to try anything else. One thing I have been grateful to have is my full time job. When I’m at work I get to focus on something else for 8 hours and the conversations I have are pretty repetitive and comfortable for me. That was until yesterday.

I Confess
Introduction I am listed as a Top Creator in the Vocal Confessions and Beat communities, I have lost count of the number of Top Stories I have received, and I even placed in a Vocal Challenge, but I still don't believe that Vocal themselves consider me a serious creator. That is completely at odds with my Vocal friends and audience.

Hurt People Hurt People?
I don’t want to hurt anyone. I don’t want to be a bad person. I don’t want to disappear from one day to the next leaving people wondering what they did wrong. I don’t want to show someone love and passion only to take it away unexpectedly without any reason. I don’t want to hurt anyone. Maybe the saying is true, “Hurt people hurt people” It makes me uncomfortable to say I’m a hurt or damaged person but if I’m being honest that is the only way I can explain why I do the things that I do.
