Human Revolution
Human Revolution is a concept formed by 2 former presidents of the Soka Gakkai (Translation from Japanese - Value Creation Society) Josei Toda and Daisaku Ikeda. The Soka Gakkai International (SGI) is a global organization based on buddhist practise passed down from mentor to disciple since the 13th Century in Japan. The founder, Japanese priest Nichiren Daishonin proclaimed that chanting the title of the Lotus Sutra, Myoho Rengé Kyo (Nam myoho rengé kyo) would make one’s authentic self, or Buddha nature, the prevalent life condition. By aligning with the mystic law of myoho rengé kyo, Nichiren taught that human beings can constantly create value in their lives and their environment, leading to the realization of a peaceful and harmonious world view called Kosen Rufu.

A journey through grief
Grief The fight to heal from grief has been one I’ve trudged through like a soldier entering their last battle. With fear and courage, I take every step through the mud filled with regret, pride, and awe. You lose yourself to grief, and the reward at the end of the journey is supposed to be finding yourself again. Beautiful, isn’t it, the things you find in this search for yourself? That is, until you’ve lost your way in the search for something meaningful.

How Random Posts Enlighten My Mental Health Journey
I have always enjoyed writing and explaining concepts using creative ways and word choice that allow me to really connect to the heart of the reader or listener. But making time has always been difficult, so my solution was to use my social media platform as a writing tool to expand my creative sparkle. I committed to a weekly post on my Instagram account using one of my many photos I kept from random places and using it as a prop to write. Typically, I start brainstorming days ahead as I go over the picture selection and what to write about or I can come up with something creative on the spot and post it right away. This creative process is rewarding as it helps me get out of the mundane, while inspiring others. Although there was a flow in my creativity, it lacked structure and organization.

Work and Self-Worth: An Overachiever Origin Story
Growing up, my parents were always working. My dad had a full-time job as a train conductor and a part-time DJ business, open for all your local wedding and bar mitzvah needs. Meanwhile, my mom's family ran a restaurant for the first decade of my life. There, my mom was a waitress, manager, back-room stocker, accountant, and probably a bunch of other roles I can't remember.

The Next Great Mental Health Crisis May Have Arrived
Author's preface: This story is primarily targeted to my neighbors in the small community where I live, but as a warning to the larger global community I felt I should go public with the issue that has hit my own neighborhood very hard. To any of my neighbor's who may be reading this I say congratulations for taking this very difficult first step toward healing. Know that I am here to support you in whatever limited way I can. To everyone else, I hope you can take what you learn from this story back to your own communities and spread the word. This is a global issue and the more awareness we raise the better. We can get through this, but only if we work together and know the signs to look for so we can quickly identify those who truly need help before it is too late save them.

I want to grow . Top Story - June 2024.
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

Because life didn’t end when I was 14 or 15
There are times when we feel like it’s the end of the world. When darkness loom over us and it seems like the sun won’t rise again. The time when we’re trapped at a seemingly unending, poorly lit tunnel, unable to find the end and unable to see the light.
