Open Your mind

this is where you go when you’re in search of a new perspective. this is where you go when you need to relate and know that it’s not just you. This is where you go when you just want something to read that puts color between the black-and-white text on a page.

 

What are you seeking?

October 2024

What is it about attention that makes us feel good? Is it the satisfaction of being seen or [dare I say] even better, being understood?

p.s. I chose a different writing approach for a little creative play. I hope you enjoy :)

 

healing

April 2024

ten steps backward to go twenty steps forward. The unraveling of everything you know stitched back together as a recognizably new piece that’s more fitting to the you that you are today.


 

f-ck a zodiac. what generation are you?

march 2024

We’re all guilty of defining others by their generation and have been victim to it also. But why is that even a thing to begin with and what does your generation actually give away about you?

 

How do you feed your mind when you wake up?

February 2024

Although curiosity may be settled once opening your phone “for just a second” in the morning, it is only a quick fix that then becomes a long-term distraction. Do your morning habits fuel your mind or exhaust it?

 

Work to live or live to work?

January 2024

Have you ever convinced yourself that if you’re not giving all of your efforts everyday then you won’t get to where you want to be? This mindset that you can always give a little bit more… 

 

Because when you know You know

December 2023

If you’re not sure, you just might not know and if you don’t know… well, they might not be the one.

 

living with anxiety in the form of a person

June 2022

I often talk about living with anxiety within ourselves but, this time I’m sharing the experience of co-existing with someone who battles the same type of internal struggles. I recently became aware of how much it’s affecting my own anxiety which in turn, has affected my relationship with said person and the comfort of living in our home.

 

Are Growth and pain SYNONYMOUS?

march 2022

what truly drives growth within us? I didn’t recognize my “need” for emotional distress as ways to dissect and challenge my mind until I formed a healthy relationship that allowed me to be relaxed in love and within myself. What does growth look like in a consistently positive atmosphere?

Filled with anxiety yet, empty

March 2021

i wrote this on one of my lowest days. it wasn’t easy to write and honestly, it isn’t easy to share. but i always aim to be as transparent as i can be and if this can help at least one person feel more comfortable with their mind right now then I’m glad. The world took a weird turn and we’ve hit that one year mark and it’s natural to feel odd. So whoever is reading this, you go this. We got this.

September 2020

Everyday is a different wave of “this is great” and “what the f—k”.

At any second

August 2020

At any second you can meet someone who is going to alter your life. Someone who is going to capture you differently in a way that is so unexpected and in a way that you didn’t even know you needed.

tell me something personal

june 2020

“Personal” doesn’t have to be anything specific that we all agree on as being personal. It’s things that create the truth of who we are and maybe things that make us uncomfortable.

the stand.

june 2020

as our social media feed and news channels begin to broadcast less, we must continue to broadcast our voices. It can be through photography, marching, donating, volunteering, writing, singing and so on, you choose the medium, but just don’t stop.

december 2019

It’s so selfish of me to be bitter towards happy couples but truth is i’m just jealous.

welcome home, anxiety.

march 2020

You know when you’re putting yourself to sleep and you have to make sure that your covers have every limb, piece of hair and sometimes even eyes underneath?

a dudes dude, question mark?

december 2019

I have a serious confidence problem. I think that’s why I don’t gravitate towards girls for friendships.

Just UGH.

december 2019

Well. It’s official. I’m going through a heart break. And no. Not just an “I was so infatuated for a period of time and now he’s dicking me over” type heart break. I’m going through the heart break of accepting. Accepting that some things just can’t be. Coming across a connection that is so raw is not common.

december 2019

Love love love love love love love

allow your growth to radiate positively

december 2019

How do we bring cognizance to ourselves of what someone’s true character is and what is them in a period of growth?

Ever changing self

december 2019

No matter what you’re doing this time next year, you won’t be in the exact same position that you’re in right now and that’s the craziest part.

What’s next?

 

Act confident. feel confident.

may 2018

how you carry yourself is everything. do you focus on your posture when walking and sitting? do you style yourself each day in a way that makes you feel good? are you comfortable? do you have interests that play a big part of who you are? do you have any interests that help build your confidence?

i blame technology.

may 2017

i find technology to be the reason that we don’t take the time to connect with other people and see them as human beings. because of this failure to connect, we don’t form relationships that get us in touch with their emotions as well as ours.
