A letter to happiness
Dear confusing happiness… I hated you for a really long time. You left me just as fast as you came. You were the biggest tease in my life. You proved to make zero sense… until now. So I’m writing you this letter because I want you to understand some things, that I hope everybody else will learn too.

Loud As Thunder
Good morning, evening and night to whoever is reading this right now. I must say, today was a good day. My mood is currently different as I've realized something very good today while out with friends. I made amends with some things that lingered due to my bipolar moments emotionally along with unfortunate occasions previously, personally and externally with others. It was like seeing myself for the first time. At least the new me that I strive to be as well as who I am 100%. It's truly all about narrative, and we control the narrative of things/people in our lives, which I feel I'm getting the hang of. This morning I had actually started off the best morning thus far, happiness within one's self is a REAL thing and feels amazing. Remember in the previous stories, I mentioned recalling the memories (good and bad) that you've felt the most emotion or trauma so that we could allow ourselves to feel it. After that, you realize how much you've gotten through things. It's very humbling I must add, but overall everything becomes much clearer.

Key to Manifesting at Your Hearts Content
I Have Manifested All My Life I consider myself a very positive person and always have been. I have a ‘can do’ attitude, which has helped me get everything I’ve ever wanted in life. I have been manifesting all my life and didn’t know it. Here’s what I discovered with manifestation.

The Conservative Culture of Victimhood is not Helping
During the 1960s, the number of people on welfare rose by 169%. A radical change had occurred and “culturally corrupted” the poor, according to John McWhorter of the American Enterprise Institute. The dispossessed went from thinking that they were doing the right thing by working to being lassoed onto welfare rolls. Thus, capitalism became the cause of individual economic ills and interpreting otherwise was akin to “blaming the victim,” McWhorter added. Sorry, I don’t really know. But the doctrine has been thoroughly accepted by conservatives, and the broad failure gives rise to the Right's favorite battle cry. The culture of victimhood means “we” must foot the bill, and the source of all my difficulties lay squarely on the shoulders of liberal ideology. How unfortunate, but who’s the victim now?

Four steps to getting your life back on track during the Pandemic.
We are months into the pandemic with no signs (well maybe some signs) of it letting up. I want to start this off by saying your pain is valid, real, and personal. The pandemic has reminded us what's important in our lives, has forced us to take pause. But sometimes the silence is deafening, the pause has forced us to confront our demons. Forced us to deal with what's going on rather than burying our heads in business, pleasure, and overall distraction. I can't solve your problems, heck, I've got enough of my own, but hopefully, these insights will help you through the darkest nights, and remind you that the sun will rise again. Or, at the very least, get your mind out of the darkest corners during the quarantine.

Radical Vulnerability
“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore, trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility.”

Into the unknown
It started one day when I sat down in front of the computer and began typing. I had no read goal or direction to speak of. If someone asked me back then, "what are you doing?", my reply would have been something along the lines of, "I don't know." Really, it was that simple.
