Forgiveness Is Not for Them...It's for You
I have worn hurt and resentment across my chest like a badge of honor. I have pulled the scabs off of old wounds myself just so others could see that I was bleeding. From the shadows, I would point in the direction of my offender and prosecute them over and over for a crime that they had committed years prior all because I refused to forgive.

Why A Sense of Community Is More Important Than Ever
For the past few months I’ve been researching the link between community and creative culture — how does community affect creativity and how does creativity affect community? In light of the global COVID-19 pandemic, this research feels more important than ever. In this time of social isolation, fear and a great deal of uncertainty, a sense of community is becoming increasingly more important.

Beware the Barrenness of Busy Life
Man is a social animal and has always sought some sort of interconnection with other species; be it on a spiritual, economic, physical or colloquial level. This quest of man has led to many developments; some intrinsic, other like snake’s skin that sheds itself regularly. Man’s propensity to stay can be likened to be an intrinsic value in this contemporary world, a quality it needs to shed away to regain the sanity it craves and the peace of mind it deserves.

What if I Told You that You Can Edit Your Reality? and Why Do Most People Refuse to Take Ownership of Their Power Over Their Lives?
It's very easy to look at reality as something that is just handed to us. If our parents were abusive, alcoholics, or addicts, it's very easy and natural for people to think that's just the world that they were born in. They're just unlucky. That's just the way things are. Life is a giant a lottery and guess what? They ended up being handed the losing ticket. Talk about a very weak and a self-defeating mindset.

A Letter To My Heart
For most of my life I have spent a lot of time and energy trying not to hurt anyone. I did my best to make sure that I was making everyone else happy and doing the things they thought were best for me. However, in doing that I realize that I neglected the most valuable thing in my life which is you. I hurt you and neglected you.

emotions
Masculine and Feminine are within each one us. That is something that is not in our control. - The masculine and feminine we had, to begin with, was out of anybody's control. Unlearning habits and letting go can be difficult as familiarity is much more comfortable. - With growth comes going through uncomfortable and unfamiliar experiences. But with the healing and work and the change that is occurring. Everything will turn for the better. Better than expected.

A Queen has entered the chat
If you think I am about to tell you that self love is self taught, you're in the wrong place honey buns. I am not one to think that the skill to love oneself, yes I said skill, is the product of evolution. I believe it takes careful deliberation and interaction with our fellow human beings in order to come to the affirmation that one loves him/herself.

Reflections
Our life revolves around so many reflections, some are the reflections we see in the mirror of ourselves, some reflections of the things we are surrounded with while some upside and unhappy reflections that often changes our perspectives. The way you see a reflection is influenced by the perspective you attain. Sometimes we see things the way we want them to see, not always it's about how those things look like. While most of the time we are deceived by the reflection of things we tend to see. It's often said that the world we see outside is the reflection of the world inside us, this statement sometimes seems so unreal to me. When I look inside me I don't feel any urge to cause destruction and harm anyone around me but when I see outside everywhere all I see is destruction and people harming each other for worldly pleasures. That's surely not what I feel inside me, that's surely not what my heart and soul ever wanted. Inside me is a soul that wants nothing but peace while outside me is a world where there is no sign of harmony, love and peace.

I was a Closet introvert. These were the Repercussions.
Sometimes you have a narcissistic personality. Sometimes you want to be the highest in the room. But unbeknownst to you, something inside you dies, rotting slowly until you find yourself, alone and empty. This is a mistake that I committed for years until 2020. I changed my ways and started experiencing new things. And I have found a new kind of happiness, the happiness I never felt before.
