Reach out.

Anyone who knows me, knows I have struggled with mental health most of my life. I have felt the deafening sounds of silence and felt the crushing weight of my own breath. There was a time I felt no way out. A time when the chants of my inner demons were louder than my reason […]

Unsolicited Opinions in an Unprecedented Time

Reading the news. Seeing the memes all talking about the turbulent times we are finding ourselves in I needed to say something. I needed to put my thoughts down and share my unsolicited opinions as I often do. Let me start by saying regardless of all that is happening I hope peace is found. Justice […]

Everyone

I am talking about soul crushing, mind numbing guilt. This is the guilt that cripples you, paralyzes you. Leaving you so broken that you […]
