My Disappearing Act
Has your heart ever been so heavy and broken? Have you been through so much that you just become so drained and lost? That you are searching for your identity. I am going through that now. I decided to be like a magician and do a disappearing act and delete all social media platforms. Become a ghost per se. As a writer that is something hard to do; when my doctor laid me off work and writing is my life now, other than my son. I am healing from so much that I have to disappear to find me.

My Bucket List
In five years I’ve managed to do a lot of travelling around working full-time and writing. I still want to reach to thirty countries, so far at around 25 and there’s still a lot of experiences that I want to do in my lifetime. I’ve managed to get 20 on here and if I manage to do all 20 that would be amazing. I may need more than one winning lottery ticket to do it all, but I think I’m capable of doing at least half of them before I die.

Self-Love and Happiness
Confidence is something that is hard for many individuals. Most of us have our own insecurities that we try to hide and let the dwell and boil inside our veins. I am no exception to that. Over the years, there have been countless of things that have filled my being with self-doubt making me feel like the dust that is under our bed that we all neglect.

Queen of The Moment
Own It! Often times, we are faced with great sadness and despair, simply because of what we are feeling. We forget that we have a right to choose what we do with our emotions. We are given this life to explore this beautiful planet and all that we encounter within it, yet we are most likely to respond to our existence based on what and how we feel in any given circumstance. Our lives are not conditional when it comes to the experience of bliss. Nothing and no one can confiscate our right to choose how we respond to unfavorable circumstances. Of course, life will throw us left and right upon the coursing currents of unforgiving streams of emotional disturbance, but how we manage in the water is what counts. We all suffer deep emotional dis-ease at some point, whether it is instigated by our own children, mate, family member, friend or co-worker. It happens to all of us. What doesn’t always happen is our remembrance of our rights to choose how we react and respond. We find ourselves approaching that proverbial emotional elevator, and we somehow always seem to press the button that takes us DOWN, don’t we? Well, why? It’s as if we don’t know in that moment that we can choose to take that same elevator UP! It’s us, isn’t it? We are pushing the buttons, ultimately. It’s our very own choice. The doorman of our mind is standing there when the doors open. “Which way, sir or madam?” And then, we choose. We choose the floor, don’t we? There are so many floors. The let’s just have a few drinks floor, the let’s get high floor, the lets be promiscuous floor, let’s not forget the gambling floor, or let's beat our mate or children floor! Any one of those have been pushed repeatedly by someone in our society. It happens every day. They take the elevator down. Let me give you an example:

Hidden Pain
I saw you today. The real you. The scars you hide. You think just because they aren't on the skins surface that some of us can't see you. I see you, because I am you. I know the self harm, the addiction to cutting your flesh because it calms your soul. But, but what about us that cut the soul to calm the flesh Those of us that float in the higher plains of the abyss. Where cutting the flesh doesn’t matter because we thrive on an higher realm and our souls are what absorb all the pain the is inflicted on us. We feel the pain so hard, we can literally feel the lashes of the whip on our bones. We wear these scars in our eyes. In our tones. In our smile. In the way we love someone or don't love them. Therefore, causing our cuts to be much more deeper then just the skins surface. Literallyfeeling our hearts tear a little at a time every time someone else just as fucked up as we are picks at our flaws and weaknesses, just so they can deal with their wounds a little easier. We feel that dagger in our sides, backs, hearts as they twist and turn, sliding deeper with every thrust. We carve out our little words of de-affirmation so that we never forget that feeling we felt when we were scorned, belittled, embarrassed, ripped open. I am that person, that person is me. I am the self harmed that hides the cuts within my body. Cut me open and you will see, all my little reminders of how unkind this world has been to my soul. My heart frayed at the edges and black in the center. All the little words that act as thumbnails, that when spoken I'll never forget that feeling. A smell that will forever remind me of the turmoil I have felt. I am the girl that was sexually, emotionally, mentally abused by those that she trusted and by those that she should have never trusted at all. I am that girl with no real friends. Everyone surrounding her, just in it for themselves until their need of her is fulfilled and then to the wayside she goes. The girl always left holding the shit end of the stick. The girl giving her all, just to never be good enough. The girl that can't stand being in her own skin, much less let anyone look at it, touch it, taste it. The constant question arising will this shit ever end? Will I ever be good enough? Only to realize in the end that she is who she is because she feels on a higher level because she deals on a higher level. She hasn't sat on the bench waiting to play the game. No, she has been in the ring for 10 rounds going head to head with life as it kicks her in the face time and time again. People in the crowd telling her to give up, Why are you still in the ring? Her looking them in the eye and smiling, as she bleeds internally, as she licks the blood off her fist, "because I am a warrior." While her scars are internal, she knows that these are scars that molded her into who she is and who she will be. What her legacy will be builtShe will take the good and release the bad. She will sleep for days to recover from her wounds, just to get back up and fight some more. So you…. Yes you…. Don't be afraid to show your scares. Embrace them, for they are beautiful and so are you.

The girl that is afraid of CHANGE
So, the other day your girl (that's me) got a new job... now this is a very big opportunity for me. I would be making triple what I make now and I could finally save up to become a little more independent than I am currently (I still live at home).

How Feel Better About Yourself In the New Year
The New Year is a time to reflect on yourself and think about what your goals are in the months to come. For some people, this means focusing on a career goal or picking up a new hobby, but others have a more simplistic resolution close to their heart: Happiness. It sounds like such a simple concept, but it really is a challenge to find contentment in yourself sometimes. It's not so hard to achieve; as Leo Tolstoy said: "If you want to be happy, be."
