Life
Catechism. Content Warning.
As I mentioned in my last post, I can add one more reason as to why black and purple are my favorite colors. As a lifelong Roman Catholic, I see these colors as signs of penance, and penance is something I practice practically everyday because I accept that I am a sinner. In fact, I’ve spent most of my life feeling like a sinner. Yes, I know that the Church teaches that we are all sinners, but in my case I feel especially sinful because of my lifelong struggle with sexual sin.

Sodaquiest : Sporadic choices
Sporadic choices This is my first entry in this blog. I haven't really figured out what this is yet. I don't plan on anyone seeing this, but my journal isn't something I can use to write these thoughts down because of how bad my handwriting is, so I’ll be uploading here.

My Hawks
For most of my life, I’ve envisioned two hawks perched on my shoulders. I don’t remember precisely when they appeared; certainly when I was a child navigating my tension-filled home. Much of that history is lost to blockage still, my father’s volatility and my mother’s survival skills visible to me only as peaks of experience emerging through a cloud cover, seen from a great height. I have realized recently it’s been the hawks who have kept me lifted above all those traumatic memories, and it’s only recently that I’ve begun to really make their acquaintance and honor their role in my life.

Things Are Back On Track On Vocal
Introduction This week, we have had issues with Vocal rejecting lots of stories because they were deemed to be in a foreign language. I have also been under a strange Facebook anti-spam ban, which meant I was unable to share my Vocal stories in any group that I was a member of.

Confidence
In every mirror, I sought a phantom, pursuing an illusion that had been escaping me for what felt like an eternity. I had mistakenly labeled this part of myself as 'dull', 'untalented', and 'delusional', yet I yearned for this missing piece to return and make me whole.

I Am An Author
Hey wassup. Stop what you’re doing and lend me your eyes for a few minutes so I can tell you the story a little boy who grew up to be an author. Now this kid’s name is Joe and he’s from North Carolina. Growing up like he did, education was very important to both of his parents. His parents didn’t play about school and trust me, he learned that the hard way.
