How to heal fully and properly.
Embers
There was a stillness to the day; a calm that contrasted to the busy city flow of traffic and people bustling for warmth and comfort. Ice crystals winked in the air just in front of her nose and pierced her cheeks like tiny winter daggers, gleeful in their winter cold. Looking up at the sky and its depth of untainted blue she found herself gazing breathless and in that second loosing her concentration she felt her feet slipping on unforgiving ice. Earnestly adjusting her balance on unsteady feet, her equilibrium soon regained. Her mind converged with her body.

Sickness
Fear is only two of many different ways we perceive it to be. True fear which you acknowledge as danger causes you to freeze, hide, or flee. Then there's irrational fear which is a phobia, but fear could also be a sickness for the people who think very differently than the "normal" way of thinking. Fear can cause damage to a person's brain and impair the memories, so their way of thinking is distorted.

Toxic Habits That Successful People Don't Do
Perhaps one of the most uncomfortable truths about life is that sometimes, you can do every little thing perfectly and still fail. It's terrible, but life is not fair. However, in the majority of peoples' cases, the reason that they are failing at their goals doesn't really have much to do with bad luck.

What Being a Teen in 2018 Is Like
Being a teen is supposed to be fun; you're growing up and experiencing new things. You aren't stressed, don't have a care in the world, and don't have real problems, right? Wrong. Teen life has changed significantly in the past decade, and as it turns out, being a teen isn't all it's cracked up to be. After all, it takes one to know one.

Negativity
I used to care what people thought of me to the point of obsession. Gossip runs rampant and I couldn't help but feel paranoid that I was also the topic of conversation when not around. I live in a small town where everyone's business is known. I've made a lot of mistakes here and town arrests make the news... literally. When I failed epically I also failed publicly. I was a negative judgmental person myself back then so I really can't be too upset about some of the rumors my drunken nights created.

Have You Ever Seen a Dragon?
Have you ever seen a dragon? I did—in my dreams. I always knew that human dreams have power. When we dream, our conscious speaks to us and all of the wonders in the world could happen, just when our eyes are closed. Sometimes, I would see dreams that later on would happen in real life. Now, I am not saying that I can see the future, but there is something in all of us, something that each human being need to recognize.

Why I Make Art
Art has always been very special to me throughout the years of growing up. It has shaped me into the person I am today and has helped me overcome many struggles throughout my years. I make art because it gave me confidence, it became therapy for me, it helped me to go into the zone, it helped me concentrate, and it showed me what I was capable of creating. These are many of the reasons why I make art.

Pain as a Fuel for the Evolution
“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” — Carl G. Jung

Contrast
I woke up to a dark, messy room, unable to tell if it’s day or night. The only light my eyes were exposed to between my shifts in position was my phone, which must have been left unlocked because the screen showed the same article I started reading the afternoon before, before I fell asleep. My inactive body felt heavy, yet empty. I honestly couldn’t move; I had no drive to. I couldn’t tell if it was my body or my soul that was drained, but regardless, I had absolutely no energy to even keep my eyes open. I had gotten home after work the day before, dropped my things at the door, and went straight to bed without changing. I lost track of how long I stayed awake staring at blank space before I got up out of bed.
