Why Troubled Children Have an Increased Trauma In Society. Content Warning.
As a former "troubled child" I learned two things normal communication even in the 90s was difficult for me. One, I learned no one listens. Two, if I have a meltdown I will be restrained. Most troubled children like myself when restrained by professionals who wouldn't listen to me traumatized me enough but being able to not move embraced with a professional gripping my hands. That was beyond traumatizing. I didn't know this was still a common practice until I overheard one of my peers who is a major in Psychology interning at some nonprofit agency that's similar to the 90s verse of Latch Key.

I Grew Up with Trauma/Racism
Add agism, and some others. ~~~~ I grew up in a town close to three reservations. My dad died when I was 10 years old and we moved out of the city, and didn’t return to the reservation that my mother grew up in. We were living about 1 hour from her childhood home.

Most Writers Write. Here's Why I Haven't - Again
I’ve been here before. More than once. More than twice, actually. More than … okay, who’s counting? I know everyone and their mothers are tired of the “I’m ready to write again!” song and dance I’ve been doing for ages. To be fair, I’m pretty damn tired of it, too. After my big “here we go again” announcement in 2021 (2022 for Vocal readers), I thought I’d finally cleared out enough wreckage to keep this fire blazing and get these words flowing.

Camouflage . Top Story - February 2024.
Grief never stops. She simply camouflages herself in different forms, daring you to challenge facing it, day after day. Sometimes sexy and alluring, we all enjoy a moment of self soothing, allowing what feels like release to wash over us-out of us, through tears, wails, cries, steps, stomps, dulled screams into feather fluffed pillows. Shameless, near infantile, reverting back primitively or perhaps to a state of childlike sorrow. Unable to express verbally the issue at hand, and coos and cuddles only go so far for so long. Lets face it, what are we as adults besides big kids playing pretend with our words, and having no one to patiently coddle us when we unexplainably sob.

These musings prompt us to reflect on the very essence of life itself.

The Enigmatic Dance of Belief
Hey there, Mind Field enthusiasts! Vanessa? Nah, just kidding. It's your guide through the twists and turns of the mind, Michael. Bet you didn't see that coming, did you? Well, you know how humans are—we love a good surprise, even if it involves a little white lie. Speaking of which, that Vanessa stunt? Yeah, total fabrication. But hey, deception is part of the human experience, right? We're drawn to things that may not be entirely true because, well, proving something beyond a shadow of a doubt is no walk in the park. Instead, we navigate the maze of belief, relying on faith and confidence intervals to make sense of our world.
