How to heal fully and properly.
Better Intentions
A mantra is a word or short phrase that is repeated throughout the day, usually to encourage bringing something good into being. I have known those to repeat "love" or "peace" over and over to themselves to encourage these ideas to manifest in their daily lives.

Treasury Truth
I had this belief that I could somehow take someones else pain away for them. Something I wish I could. But I have learnt that it is not my job. It's nobody's job to take away anyone's pain for them. Because that's a job only the individual can do for themselves. We all have different types of ingredients to pain and the healing process won't look the same.

The Hold of The Fear of Rejection!
Self-confidence, where does it come from? My theory is it comes from within. I haven’t been able to find my own inner self-confidence in a long while now. I have had glimpses of it, here and there. Every now and then I will have a fleeting moment where I will not think that every one that is in a room is laughing at me, judging my every move. However, for the most part, I lack the self-confidence I desire in my life.

Self-love will heal the world
I sit here with a deep gravity to my field. I sit here frozen still, confused on where I should be. What should I be doing right now? How can I help? How can I stop all the suffering, all the pain, all the screams from crying out. How can I save the innocent from those who are ignorant, save the animals who have suffered long enough from the choices we have made. Sitting here I have realized I can't. I can't actually move, for I have no way to get there. I can't speak, for I don't have a voice people listen to. I can't help, for I don't know if I have any power to do so. I CAN'T move and it feels like the pain will never stop existing, that as long as we keep looking the other way, pretending that we don't see this suffering, it will consume us all. Then we won't have a choice but move and speak up. Our leaders will be forced to acknowledge what is and accept that hell is happening on earth and they’re on the top, watching it burn.

A Fools Wife
Oh. My. God. How do you get over someone you devoted your whole mind, body and soul to? Where do you start? I felt shut down, deflated and compromised. How do you get to know yourself again? It’s really hard to feel your body again after you’ve changed so much trying to salvage a relationship or keep someone happy. Maybe you’ve severed friendships or stopped taking care of your health or just completely fucking let go of who you are in hopes that you’ll always have that significant other to take your arm. But this story is hopefully going to help you create goals, take care of your body and take care of your mentality too.

Please don’t cry, it makes me uncomfortable
It’s a pretty dire state of affairs when feeling depressed comes with an expectation of... being fucking not depressed. I recall a technicolour illustration of such an unhelpful attitude toward a specific strain of grief: the day after my father’s death, receiving a text from one of my managers asking if I was feeling better.

Forty-Five Cents
Forty-Five Cents So, there I was, in the library about 4 or 5 miles from the comfort of my current fortress of solitude, Room 218 Red Roof Inn, Tampa Fairgrounds. My traveling companion pups, Luke and Leia, were safe and coolly sound as I tried to download the lease papers for the house on Skyloch (Sky-Lock) Ct., located in my supposed new place to live: Dunedin, Florida.

Greatness Is In Gratitude
We all have dreams. Every one of us. You may have a dream job, dream house. It could be your dream to graduate high school, or be accepted into University. Maybe it's even something as simple as owning a pet or having a family someday. Dreams, vision, and goals are all very important to me. When things aren't going as planned, I find it to be a great practice to remind yourself of where you're aiming rather than reminiscing on times past.

In Our Darkest Moments
Things are bad right now... I'm not sure how else to deal with it besides writing. It's like I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure everything out and with no result. I miss my little girl, so much; I never imagined I could miss anybody like I do her in my entire life. The scariest part should be that I have no idea when I'll see her again. But It's not... the scariest part is I'm not even sure I deserve to any more. After Greta left, I became so self destructive I don't recognize myself anymore. Now I wonder if I will ever get back to who I used to be. Should I do that in the first place? Or should I be trying to use this tribulation as an opportunity to evolve into something new? The bigger question is can I? Or will I let this darkness consume me? I can hear the calling, the urge to just quit and leave this entire world behind. Anything to ease the pain of having literally lost everything I really care about. If it were not for that little girl who calls me Dada, I probably would succumb to such a selfish desire. It's because of her that I refuse to give in to those demons. Even though I can feel them clawing at me on a constant basis.

When It Hurts
October 25th, 2019, was the day I was robbed of my dreams. I had lost sight of all my goals and with them the will to live. Battered, I was ready to put an end to everything I had or wished to have. On that fateful day, I lost three close friends to a car accident and drinking. And as if that was not enough, the woman I had loved all my life, cheated on me and jilted me. I was hurt, humiliated, and alone.

Let Go
Where do I begin. I have an amazing story to tell. Its about getting unstuck. The song I have been obsessed with these past few days which has prompted me to enter this contest is b urn the ships by For King and Country. I have never related to a song like I do this one, so I believe many will too relate. Its been a long long time, staying stuck in my past. It happened in October of 2007. Three months later it was the beginning of many distressed emotions.
