The Power of Writing
Whenever we write a story, there are many benefits that come along with it, such as improving your mood, imagination, and building confidence. I started writing stories on Vocal back in 2018 at a time where I was homeless and jobless. When I was in school, one of my special education teachers would give each one of us a journal to jot down anything we wanted to. This was where I fell in love with writing. Before I became a creator on this platform, I lost interest in writing for almost 20 years. During the aforementioned situation I went through, I was also suffering from mental health issues. I had a huge mental breakdown at my previous place of employment earlier that year before my shift was over. I worked 11 hours that day at a call center and we hardly had Saturdays off. The pay was decent, but after I finished my shift for the night, I never returned to that job again. It wasn't worth my mental or physical health and needed to get out of there fast.

The Door That Opens
by Andre Wormsbecker The apparent inertia that simply leaves us comfortable, still, immobile, and unnecessarily vulnerable to the external environment creates a paradoxical dichotomy regarding how this flow does not move as it should. “Being stuck” is a symptom of mental paralysis that cannot be part of the true flow of the universe. In other words, at any moment, a colossal wave of intelligent seismic activity will come to break this artificial inertia. The path of everyone and everything is in tune with the flow of the universe—even if one does not wish to be in this flow, it seems impossible to sit idly by waiting for the wave to pass, for time to change, or for someone to save you. None of this happens, for the flow itself is within you. On the other hand, this inertia is a rigid program of ideas, paradigms, and beliefs that momentarily paralyze you; however, the incoming wave is inevitable. Your choice of whether you want to be carried along or control your movements during the storm will become increasingly clear.

An artful life
What is an artful life? Art is everything, it is the way we walk, talk, move, cook, laugh and smile. It can be in every moment. How you put together the food that you nourish your body with. Do you take time to make your food beautiful and present it in a way that makes you happy? Or do you burn it by accident because you’re not fully present or you’re thinking or working on something at the same time? Being present is the most important thing with art. You have to be in the now. If your mind is wandering and wondering “what else could I be doing right now” or thinking, thinking, thinking about a whole list of things you need to get done- washing, shopping, cooking for the week- then you’ll never be able to create art that is a representation of your soul on fire.

What About My Destiny?
His childhood passed as he walked on tiptoes, to avoid provoking his father's anger and to avoid being noticed by his bullying friends, and out of fear of awakening the ghosts of the dark. He was very delicate and felt isolated among all the harsh people surrounding him, as if he were a banner of peace fluttering among the ruins of a battlefield littered with blood and ashes. When he wanted to sleep at nine o'clock, he would dig his small fingers into his hair and move it around to fall asleep. Unable to, he would clear his throat of remnants of tears and sobs to sing himself a lullaby to help him sleep, and he would not finish this cleansing until dawn. His singing was accompanied by sighs and stuttering. He did not interact much with people, so he was not good at speaking and stuttered a lot. He loved being with trees and birds, and a small colt, which he considered his only friend, would sneak up to him whenever his mother was away from him, as the colt frightened him with its size and the noise of its neighing. Then, after several nights, he was shocked to find that the colt had grown to the size of his mother, which he had always feared. This disappointment almost tore his heart apart.
