A Walk In My Mind.
As I start to slowly wake up. To the loud chirping sounds of the birds outside my window. As Mother Nature is waking up the world. I stretch real big like a little kid. I roll over, and kiss my husbands cheek. He then just smiles. So I kiss his soft warm lips. I jump out of bed. Humming my favorite songs as I’m getting ready for the day. I go make a cup of coffee. Then proceed to my bedroom. I look at my self in the mirror as I’m sipping the warm coffee. I just stand there and look thinking, feeling. Sometimes life feels heavy.

When you begin to see YOU!
At this point in my life, I am realizing that there is always a calm before the storm that surges as a warning. As women, we tend to look for reasons to stay in a relationship in the hope that things will get better and we will finally get to experience the sweetness of love and patience we so desire. Only, it doesn’t happen. At least it didn’t happen to me.

Law #1: 48 Laws of Power
Law #1: Never outshine the master Around 350 years ago, there was a king in France whose name was Louis IV. He was the monarch of Versailles. You might have heard of rulers who claim themselves to be the best of the population or sent by God to save the state. Interestingly, Louis had a different claim. He claimed to be the state itself. So anyone who spoke against the King was considered to be speaking against France.

Feelings & Emotions
I’ma g ive y’all some true facts here!💯💯 Soo if you can relate whether you’re a guy or girl, then feel me on this …for those of you who can’t relate it doesn’t mean you never did.😏🙄 There’s times when I will ask myself questions❓ (I don’t know if anybody else is or was like this at some point) and there’ll be times where I’m like “what the hell am I doing” or “do I even really feel this way” or “I know I shouldn’t have that but it’s right there”🍫🍨…and then there’s times where as a female you don’t even know what it is your feeling but your emotions are like this one big ball of yarn or even bands just tied into one big ball. Or even if your monthly is on (guys you have them too) and your either having bad days/good days or a mixture of both. I know we tend to take those feelings or emotions out on someone who may seem like there irritating 😈👿 us but honestly are not, it’s just we just don’t want to be bothered. Trust me, I’ve had TIMES y’all! 🤦🏽♀️

Self Love, Passion, and Depression
About six months ago I thought I was happy, I thought I had found what I wanted to do in life. I had just gotten into EMT school and that was the first step in the career I wanted to be in, so I thought. Then once that semester was over I got a job at an ambulance company and that was my second step in achieving my goal to be a flight medic. I worked at that company for about three and a half months before I started to get this depressed feeling. Now by this time I had failed my national exam to become an EMT and was only a first responder at this company which means I was just a driver. I thought that this job was not right for me and sitting around for twelve hours a day waiting for a call was the source of my depression and the reason I was so unmotivated to do things. After I quit, I started to figure out that the job was not the source at all. I went back full time at the restaurant I was working at and thought that feeling of depression would go away and for a little while it did until it came back. I started arguing with my boyfriend a little more and was negative about a lot of things. I finally realized that the source of my depression was myself. I found that I didn’t really love myself and who I was anymore. I didn’t tell anyone about the way I was feeling until recently. I want to take back my life and get back to loving myself again. When I talk about loving myself I don’t just mean physically but mentally too. I have let my mind go and it is a constant battle of what am I going to do now. I feel as if I have no real purpose in life anymore and no I don’t mean that in a suicidal stand point but in a stand still point of view. I need to step out of my comfort zone to somehow find my motivation, courage, and drive in life. I sit back and really think about what I have in life and I mean I am thankful I have a roof over my head and food to eat but the only people I really have is my loving but small family, my best friend, and my boyfriend. I don’t talk to many people, so I guess I’m more of an introvert and I haven’t found any hobbies that I am passionate about. I write every so often but it’s mostly to get things off my chest and mind. I am not sure what to do anymore. I think I need to get away from life for a bit and focus more on my selfcare and really learn to love myself because how can someone else love me if I am so stuck in my own pity world. I can’t even express how I feel anymore I just end up crying about everything because I feel that there is so much pressure in my head that I can’t even explain why I am feeling the way I do. For the past few days in the morning I have been listening to speeches about selflove and passions and it has opened my eyes quite a bit, but how am I supposed to achieve that. I feel like this is my first step, acknowledging how I feel and getting it out of my head because it feels like I am drowning. I want to find my purpose, my love, my drive, my passion, and learn to love again. The only thing, is that it all starts with finding myself first.

The Lotus Blossom Technique
After Michael Michalko - Thinkertoys Once upon a time there was a frog who lived at the bottom of a deep well. He could hop from mud pad to mud pad and swim around to his hearts content. One day the frog poked his head out of the top of the well and boasted to a passing turtle of his free movement in the well and how much better off he was than all the shrimps and tadpoles who lived around him. The frog invited the turtle to come down into his well and see for himself.

Move Over
Move over One, two, three, TikTok action! “Let’s go back K & B” he sings. She starts to sing in the mic, “what they wa say’” she is pulling a string while he moves his body to the rhythm of the music. I could sit down all day and watch this short chip by “Justmaiko Bee and Me” The lyric makes no sense, but who wants something that makes sense today. It lets me know there is a virus in my head and not a brain. While watching the short TikTok, I chuckled to myself, as my mind-controlled by the rhythmic sound of the music and movements of the bodies understanding the method. It is called entertainment for the young. Initially, I am bliss with the short videos. Should I adventure in doing a TikTok video? It's not farfetched. It would be most rewarding to bring a smile on someone face for what is happening worldwide. As they detach themselves from the environment, they have become so clustered in today's pandemic. It is what people want to see right now.

It's Ok To Be A Victim: an excerpt
So often we are told to "stop playing victim" and "to get over it already, " oh and my personal favorite, "you ain't the first you won't be the last." These ideals can form mental barriers to vulnerability and this proved more than true for me. It have had to take time to accept that I have been raped one more than one occassion. One can't call themselves a survivor if they are still just surviving. It's become a norm in various cultures to just bury hurt and sorrow beneath layers of concrete defense mechanisms only for it to one day break through to the surface peaking out of its festering darkness into nourishing sunlight.

Da God in $hell
Being yourself is not easygoing as people would say. The reality is society dictates what we can do and not do. It puts limits on most of us by sheer intensity and intimidation. The pressure to preform or fit in has greatly altered the why society acts.
