A "Social Casualty" or a "Strange Child" either someone will be both, one, or neither it still draws us to face a flaw in the flow of humanity which would be the way we run society and by the way that we face society. Just by the way we are affected by our self and the ways of how society may benefit us or hold us down just by being an existing somebody.

The truth is...
I've been traveling with depression all my life. I'd say most of the women in my family have. Any one of them can spin you a sad, but completely true story. And a lot if them have more than one. Some don't even fully know their sad story. So, I'm predisposed you might say. Pain has passed down through the generations and run rampant in our lives. It was time somebody put a stop to it. To not allow it to pass to the next generation.

Leaves Fall On Their Own
Leaves Fall On Their Own Stepping on to the porch, there was no surprise hearing the familiar crunching of leaves sounding beneath my feet as I walked. Red. Yellow. Brown. The array of colors seemed to continue. The very large oak tree that stands in the middle of the yard had made plenty sure of this. My neighbor's oak and maple trees also provided its fair share of contributions as well.

Gentle Souls Shed Your Burdens
You feel the weight of your family, friends, and complete strangers pressing down on your back, their thoughtless words clamouring in your head. The muscles of your shoulders and neck bulge with pent up tension. The acid in your belly roils with the anxiety of another day of other people's problems and their treatment of you. Your hard-wired programming demands you to fix them and their problems.

10 ways to still stay productive in Quarantine
This pandemic has hit us all in new and unexpected ways. Ways that we never considered. Most places are in another lock down at this point, unsure of when that will happen. Many, like myself, have been laid off this year; some more than once. If you are without a job or just simply trying to staying at home more, either way it is easy to become depressed and unproductive. I had one lay off this year and now I am on my second. And I found that I was just letting time pass by, one day became another became another. Suddenly I realized I didn't know what day it was or how long time had passed. As 2020 comes to an end I really want to use the time that I have and be productive. So here are some things that I hope will help you as much as it helped me.

2020
This week has been difficult. I’m realizing I have not been as deeply emotional as my ego let me believe to be. I feel, but I have a difficult time expressing those feelings to others. Sometimes it comes out as anger, when subconsciously I’m feeling sad. These emotions are always projected into anger or I become completely passive, not truly thinking of the consequences. A Scorpio recommended I follow my birth chart closer. It was not until this week that I realized I have no water signs in my chart, and I panicked. Is this why I’ve lived in California for the last 5 years, away from all of my family, and as each year passes I feel less and less close to them? The reason why I can make a friend, be incredibly close for years, and explode out of each other’s lives like a burst of flames, with no rememberance of how it was before? I’d rather have sex with a stranger than someone I know, and when I have sex with a friend.. I normally don’t feel comfortable to be their friend anymore. How can I become a leader, a captain, someone that inspires others if I am always pissed off and creating chaos for myself. This feels like it’s getting worse for me. These are just honest thoughts that have ran through my head recently. I communicate my emotions with aggression. Now I’m hyper-aware and I need to choose when this is necessary. I feel jealous as I’m scrolling through my Instagram, i’m happy for everyone’s success, but it reminds me that I have stifled my creativity and my own successes. I just need to be honest with myself. Since August, I’ve been healing and letting go of someone who was incredibly dangerous for me. It was very traumatic, but I still have yet to really share and express what happened. Other than writing aggressive late-night posts on social media while intoxicated, then the following day seeing what I’ve written and feeling completely vulnerable. I am willing to admit that I was not perfect, but in comparison I was a Saint. He will never admit he was ever wrong, and that is what made me accept this next chapter in my life, solitude. This was the first time I was the one to say goodbye in a romantic relationship. I refuse to put all of the blame on this person, even as intense as they may be, because I am intense too. A different kind though. I was in a match for the last three years, and after my relationship has ended I know what solitude feels like. I do not have a lot of friends anymore, and I’ve had trouble connecting with new people. I’m great at small-talk when I feel like it, but there is a chance I will start feeling uncomfortable. I feel incredibly guarded right now, and I feel it’s necessary, but I don’t want to make a habit of it. I wrote this because I do not feel okay right now, and it feels like I’m finding myself all over again, and it makes me frustrated. This year was fucked up for us. That makes me feel like I’m not truly alone. I just want to do better, control and craft the fire I have and be practical about it. Be more patient, more caring, less judgmental. I forget how helpful it is to write when you’re troubled. To read and face your own thoughts like they are not even yours anymore. A collection of words for all of us. Let this be a key to open new doors and to do what is right, not what is easy.

This Entire Time
It started off by never being grateful. By being too stuck in my ways and for never appreciating the world for what it is. This precious place beaten down by the hatred and evil of people from what they assume as the worst of it by being the way they proceed to live their life.

How to be happy
Happiness can be considered as a gift we give to ourselves, a kind of self-gift that we can choose to live or to abandon. When we talk about happiness, we generally mean that pleasant psychophysical state in which we perceive a sense of general well-being that accompanies us in almost every single moment of our life.
