The WRITEntanglement 

In many ways, this fallacy (Independence aka being Self-Made) becomes an armor we wear, like Dean Todd in the Magicians. The armor prevents us from being hurt by BETRAYAL of people we loved or trusted. It protects us from being seen as weak or dependent on others.

"I love all of this about me and it makes sense especially the diving into the occult or forbidden forms of truth to find deeper meaning. I use that chaos to incite change and help others. Growing up and even in some ways now I've repressed that powerful Aries side of me because I was afraid of it... Afraid to hurt or disappoint other people out of fear of abandonment not making friends or being alone through life." Even to a bot, that was heavy to admit; being afraid to hur

I’ve consumed content that emphasizes it's about being in alignment with the version of you that you want to reflect in your life. I believe in that. But yet, I question just how long does it take to get there? How much effort must I put in to get to that higher state of vibration? You have to let go. Be positive, get into alignment, and release what is no longer serving you. You must release The Old Self.

It hurts when life causes us to crumple into debris in every aspect of our lives. We lose jobs, loved ones, we're thrust into change we don't want, get into vices that take away a bit more of ourselves each time we execute or indulge in them. But that is one part of the Life experience. We're not here to just suffer and die. We are also here To CREATE...to REBOUND... TO BUILD Your Home Within, Brick by Brick.

"Do you know why you can't look away from a car accident? Instinct. It triggers something in your brain. You have no choice but to look, to question your own mortality. That is what we will put on a screen. America won't look away. And if you own the eyes of America, then you own the world." What makes this quote so impactful is the truth behind the words that many of us will brush by for the sake of entertainment.

We say time matters when we're doing, because if we're not doing we are wasting time. But in a time where instant gratification is the language of the world, and people are deemed poor and losers for standing still or taking their time, I'm here to say those that take no pause are quickly racing to nothingness. Their sprints will eventually kill them all, with nothing to celebrate in the hereafter.

Many of us wanted change so bad that we decided left was the way to go. To get someone that better aligns with our views which of course are ALWAYS right and better than the other person. We point the finger and say this person is weak, but vote in someone who is morally questionable and weak in other aspects....and no I'm not talking just about Mr. MAGA either because all candidates and persons in power have questionable traits. We all have questionable traits. 

For all my life, I have been afraid. So many different fears I wonder how I am not afraid to do even this. Maybe I was way back when when life was 'Lifing'. But between not being enough (inadequacy), not having enough (scarcity), fear of the past returning, fear of the future (overthinking, anxiety and worst case scenario/crisis planning), these are the shackles that pulled me out of a life worth living. An old war ship that lost its luster and counts it's days before its de

One of the toughest questions many of us are asking ourselves is: Why Do I Exist? Regardless of theory, we have the power to choose our WHY. I believe that in each of us we have natural traits and talents, as well as acquired traits through trials and error that we can use to truly better ourselves, our families, and our communities...should we choose to use them in that way. Key word...Choose.

But here's what they don't tell you about the Normal way. Normalcy can change at anytime. Its all about perception. There's always going to be an opinion that defines Normal. A new wave, a new trend, a new standard or explanation.

When you think of the phrase "The End" what comes to mind? What emotions are you filled with? Does it fill you with joy knowing that you had a chance to gain experience and embrace the highs and lows of the journey? Or are you fearful of it, because you've struggled or made countless mistakes and the end means you failed?

I'll start by saying that I am married...colorless...odorless...black and white with ink and typewriter. A choice... A decision... Expectations pushed away, twisted, turned, disintegrated. And now, I wear a scarlet letter because I believe in love and mutual energies. Something that goes against the grain of the norm because I am against it's grain. A catalyst for change.

A little after I hit the first bend, I set my eyes on this little kid running down the street as gleeful as possible. Probably giggling to himself. y first thought was "What the f***?" Why is there a kid running around out here barefoot this early in the morning and... Where's his parents? Where's home for him?

In the spirit of Men's Mental Health Month, I'm dropping this classic tale of my Mental Health journey and how I am Embracing Transformation. It's a highlight of everything I'd had to endure, and in some ways still wrestle with as I re-calibrate myself moment to moment. It's my hope that this serves as an inspiration to those that are struggling similarly or struggling at all to take the steps needed to heal and get back on track. Let's get into the pit of who I am.

To hear and feel the emotions of people as we played. To strategize and crack jokes as we ran through the stages together. Thats teamwork!

Letter writing is a lost art form of communication these days. With DMs and Emails coming to the forefront fo communication, we've lost our sense of intimate expression through letter writing. This is part one of a series of letters I write to a variety of people to express my innermost thoughts and feelings and as a show of gratitude. The first is a letter to my younger self, with life wisdom I wish I knew sooner.
