Crazy Creativity - A Women's Journey
The answer to both of these questions is no. Because we don’t pull out creativity, we find creativity. It’s a combination of what surrounds us and our own soul’s unique interpretation and expression of what we receive from our environment. It, indeed, is in all of us. It is much easier to look at others on social media and get distracted by what others are producing rather than creating ourselves. Rather than discover ourselves.

Time to Dispel the Myths About Mental Health
It is very important that we commit to getting rid of the myths that are associated with mental health. Can you pinpoint the difference between a myth or fact about mental health? One of the biggest myths about mental health is, “It does not affect me.” This is false. Mental Health can affect anyone; it doesn’t matter your race, gender, rich or poor. According to MentalHealth.gov, suicide accounts for the loss of more than 40,000 American lives each year, which is more than double the number of lives that are lost to homicide.

Fear of Failure
Is it true, that the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor? There are many factors as to why it is harder for the economically less fortunate to obtain success, but here I will focus on a single-pointed observation to that whole. The part of this paradigm that involves our inner perceptions, that cause us to act (or not).

More Than a Break
I have depression. Most people do these days, but I was diagnosed when I was a kid with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and ADD. Now, this means that I’m overwhelmed on a constant basis. I forget to eat, I forget to sleep, I forget what I was just thinking about 5 seconds ago because it’s noise. Constant noise. It never slows, it never stops, sometimes my thoughts seem to race so face it sounds like static in my head and I give myself a panic attack. It’s not a fun life to live, but I’ve lived it long enough and made the choices I made to lead me to my daughter. She’s beautiful; her hair the color of sun rays, her eyes the hue of the ocean... this curious dark olivey skin with cute little freckles that somehow she was born with while I remain pale and translucent and burn by the light of the moon.

The Introduction of a not so lovely lady
Who the hell am I? That, I can not tell you completely, because I am still figuring that part out. I am in my 30's, with no kids, and fresh out of a 3yr romantic relationship which ironically happens to be the first real relationship. So I tried to dedicate my all to it because it took too damn long for me to get here in the first place. Maybe 3 months before that relationship, I tried to go on a spiritual path in search of who I am and what I needed to do with my life. Prior to this spiritual quest, I lived a wild and spontaneous lifestyle.

Me and My Moods
Recently I started a bullet journal again and it’s been both helpful and frustrating. I’m realizing more and more how badly I am addicted to instant gratification, and at times it’s nauseating. I find my lack of patience, disturbing. My inability to wait for things, all things, is out of control lately. As I type this, I should be sitting in my therapist’s office explaining all of this to him. Sharing the emotions and rollercoasters of yesterday, of the last few weeks. Getting some much-needed weight off my shoulders. Instead, I am taking his advice and writing.
