How to heal fully and properly.
Scattered Mind
This world is different for everyone; seeing how people came to fight for survival or for personal gain. Our minds thread trying to put a puzzle piece together and sometimes the pieces can't fit perfectly causing unthinkable actions. People are afraid of the reality at times because there is unknown creeping behind them. The nerves in the body turns numb when experiencing the hard times in life. Why does pain take us to the dark hour? No matter what our beliefs are, it will be our safety blanket, our protection, our savior. Why let the shame and guilty scar the people that are intimidated by the big bad wolf. War will never stop happening because of wanting the strength, the power to be greater than mankind, so be careful who to trust, keep a hold on loves ones because it is rare to come by people that care. Become a warrior; have the bravery and the encouragement of fighting through the darkness where something unknown is wanting the souls of the weak, but together as one we could rise above show righteousness of pure light. There is so much more than hiding behind a mask; facing the truth of reality, accepting what lies right in front of people's glass eyes. People are human by feeling lonely, feeling the sharp knife going in their beaten down heart. Breathing heavily to achieve so much. Reach upon the stars grabbing into the opened bitter air, but getting nothing.

Balance... This has always been a personal struggle for me. I am one to want to have control over every situation or I feel uneasy. There are so many aspects in life which are out of our hands and it causes us major discomfort to try to resist. I try to think of it in terms of a flowing river. It is better to surrender and enjoy the ride than to battle the current and force change to happen. When you go with the flow, you allow life to take you to places you hadn't necessary planned, but you end up where you are meant to be.
Lazy PerfectionistPublished 5 years ago in MotivationOpening Up
I've always been a person who loved to express my emotions on paper. I grew up as an Army brat, which meant that we were always moving around a lot; so, as you can imagine, I didn't really get a chance to hold on to many friends, even after my father got out. In elementary school, I stumbled across the hobby of journaling. It definitely helped with the loneliness of being a "professional new kid": kids don't really know you that well and, as a nine-year-old, you only tell your parents so much.

Growing up I was always a poorly child, getting sent home from school weekly and being in and out of hospital with pain and sickness. It was always brushed off as growing pains and that everyone gets them. And then they told me it was in fact anxiety and depression that was the root cause, but then told me you’re just a little sad, find a hobby and that will help with the pain.

Regina GinzaPublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe Stage that Changed Everything
Imagine you walk into an abandoned house with rats scratching at the floorboards and mold eating away at the foundation of the walls, you feel your body reacting to the stench of the living room involuntarily causing you to hold back tears in your eyes. You then look over at your mother expecting the same intense reaction, but all you see are her lips forming the words, “We’ll take it!”—surprising everyone, even the landlord that's renting us this horrific home. This was my entire childhood and every house that we moved to from day one only got worse. In my experience, life is all about changes. Just when you think nothing will change, everything does. Growing up, I didn’t have a very healthy childhood. My family was very dysfunctional, and I felt as if I didn’t belong anywhere. Looking back, I would’ve never even considered joining theatre based on everything going on around me; luckily had the opportunity to walk through those dimly lit doors to the stage that would change my life forever. Theatre helped me overcome my shyness while creating powerful friendships and changing my life for the better.

Ever since I was in the 6th grade, I've had problems with people and the world. I got bullied by people and soon I found myself bullying kids in my school. In 6th grade, I started out as a good kid, and then I guess something clicked in my mind. I found myself running away from home; I really don't know why though. I had a good family and lots of people to help me in life. Kids didn't want to talk to me after that went down. I really didn't blame them for not wanting to talk to me. It was the summer after 6th grade going into my 7th-grade year. My family wanted to move to help my grandma out with her farm. Summer went well, I really thought I had changed over the summer. The first day at my new school was going well, I didn't talk to many kids that day. And no one talked to me for the whole day. It was getting to the end of the semester when I started doing drugs and getting into a lot of trouble. I was getting mad at my parents a lot and didn't feel like anyone loved me. People hated me at school and people knew how they could get to me and my feelings. I started cutting, almost daily, hurting myself. It wasn't going to help me at all and I knew that. My family found out and I was so mad. I met this guy, let us just call him John and no that's not his real name. John was 4 years older than me, I liked him and he liked me. We knew that we would never be together but when I told him I didn't want to be home, he took the time to pick me up and hang out with me. I really don't know why though. He was nice and sweet. Things got out of hand that night and I think we regretted all of it but he soon found our selves dating and no one liked that. Sooner or later we broke up. I went back to my old ways of drinking and smoking pot. I stopped because I knew if I didn't, I would be just like my dad. The summer after 7th grade I wanted to change myself so I did. I stopped smoking and talked to people about what I've done in my life and it helped me a lot. The 8th-grade year rolled around, I find my self-being liked by a lot of kids and lots of the teachers at my school. Leadership and 4-H came into my life and I've found something I could do with my life and not spend all my time drinking and wasting my life away. I'm happy with what I've done with my life and now I may have changed with future leaders and helping a lot more than I thought I could. This just shows that if you don't have a good life now you could change and become something that everyone likes and what you want to be. Thank You for reading this. Have a great day!

Growing up, until the age of eight years old my life was so, so unbelievably normal. I can't tell you the things I would do to get that life back, because I can't get it back. What I can do, though, is explain how things changed for me and how I've learned from them.

Kiasza KPublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe Pain of Regret
“The pain of discipline or the pain of regret.” This is a sentence I heard in some “take over your life” motivational videos that you come across on Facebook or something. I wrote this line down and saved it in my notes because I thought I could turn it into some dumb motivational story of my own. I honestly don’t remember when I saved it, but here I am weeks or even months later, and it’s now truly making some sense.
Vincent GrazianoPublished 6 years ago in MotivationSatiated-Healing Anxious Attachment
Who is ready to join me in my healing journey? I am asking myself the question: how do you love and let go? I am a giver. When I think about what compels me to act this way, a lot of it has to do with making people like me. I have a strong want to make people feel safe in my presence, and I was very hard on myself within my perfectionism. Some has to do with being a black woman. There is always a stigma by just existing. I carry with me a hypersensitivity and awareness of the feelings of others. Some may say that is the characteristic of an empath! An empath can take on the feelings of others as their own, and this compels them to conform to the wishes of others. I am working on reversing these tendencies within myself so that I can cultivate more self-love. It feels like a push and pull to the wishes of others sometimes not willingly, and this is a recipe to lose yourself. Some may relate to these feelings. We try so hard to people please that we lie to ourselves telling others that we are ok, until we explode in the build up of our contained/ bubbling anger, fear, or jealousy.
