Open Sesame

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? I hope this doesn’t sound cliche. If I had three wishes, I would certainly use it for mankind’s good and not my own. Money means nothing. Materiel items as well. Beauty too. All of anything that serves no greater purpose is not something I’d…

Taking My Power Back

The sun has not quite risen yet, and the sounds I play at night are still droning on. It’s dark, quiet. I love it this way. Soon, I’ll ascend from my bed, drink coffee and begin my day. Laundry is on the schedule, and I also have to bake cookies. I couldn’t do this about…

Never Giving Up – And Healing

What are you most proud of in your life? Everyone is a train wreck because we’ve all had a hand in hurting someone. So we pick up the pieces, and try all over again. Giving up is easier than continuously trying. Your aim is for a better life, whatever that may mean to you. If…

Keeping That to Myself

What’s something most people don’t know about you? In my adolescence, I was given IQ tests, and it bothered my parents a great deal. I was about thirteen years old, so I didn’t really care. Throughout my school years, many fights occurred with teachers. I was always sitting outside, not because I disrespected the teacher,…

It’s a Mix!

When my lazy day comes around, I do feel unproductive for the first few hours. I have been taking more time for myself, recently, so it’s new to me. I usually sit around and think about what I can do, what I can finish. Then I remember that it’s okay for me to take a…

The Opposite

Fear ripples through the body faster than you realize it’s happening. It blocks your judgments, flares your insecurities, and highlights your ignorance. That’s the basis of fear. Then there’s manipulation. Oftentimes, you assume you’re being manipulated because the other party is unhappy. They’re afraid of something. They’re literally visualizing their failures, death and shortcomings through…

Different Landscape

In a sense, I spent years cultivating the life I’ve wanted, for me, chosen by me. I look over everything, and realize I am satisfied at this point. Knowing there is more ahead of me doesn’t unsettle my soul the way it used to. There’s only one thing that hasn’t changed, but I’ve learned that…

Never Growing Up

I find this topic interesting. A lot reading may disagree. Physically growing up has priority over spiritual evolution. The flesh is far more ragged…and susceptible to aging, that’s obvious. If you are choosing suits over jeans, good for you! It’s not a determining factor. Those willing to diminish societal ideals of what growth is are…

Idling Firestorm

Caffeine is currently spiraling through my bloodstream – before I eat. Is that a bad habit? If so, it’s spiced chai tea, I feel as though coffee makes me overload. Midnight conversations with my significant other kept me up past my bedtime, but it was definitely worth it. His music is doing well because the…

More Than Double

Give or take, I’ve given myself eight months to my publishing goal. The Fray has reached double my estimated target audience, since the release of its preview on 10/2/24. I do not have a set goal for an audience, just that I am incredibly excited for my book, the art and everything else in between….
