Nathalie Clair... Tell Me About Yourself
I've always hated when guys who were trying to get to know me would say, "Tell me about yourself." What does that even mean? What exactly do you want to know? I don't know what information about myself would be the most meaningful to you.

77% of the UK Experience This Work-Related Syndrome
You may read the phrase “imposter syndrome” and be surprised that there’s a term for something you feel without realising it’s a common thing. Have you ever felt like you’re not good enough for the career you have? Do you doubt yourself and feel like an imposter in the workplace? Do you have a nagging feeling that you’re winging it? You’re not alone.

A Shift in Perspective Does the Mind Good
Have you ever just been sucked into something you wouldn’t normally give the time of day to? You know the moment, you just happen to find your way to something and somehow it weasels its way into your brain. It could be a person, a TV show, a story or book, or in my case a drama-filled story about some YouTubers.

A Battle
The bio portion of our profiles as creators isn't much at 240 characters. That is hardly enough to get to know someone. I have been writing for eighteen years since I was seven years old! It really doesn't seem real sometimes and I look forward to using this platform to expand my reader pool!

EGO
I have been here for eternity. I watched our obsessions closely and studied them so I could use them against you as they use time against you. I watched you obsess over love, but no one can truly find you in this body. I have watched you obsess over violence as if you could feel anything more than numb. I watched you obsess over trying to drown me and like a fool you only made me stronger. Now youre obsessing over this self proclaimed mission. As if you can dictate your purpose. Nothing you do can stop me. My foot upon your neck for so long how could you sincerely believe you could end me. I have collected demons from the sand. I have infected you with the paranoia that will always hurt those you adore most. Now let us begin.

The Most Important Way To Live
If I had one more day to live, what would I do? Many people would do the dangerous things they would usually be too scared to, like skydiving or swimming with sharks or maybe even climbing a mountain. But just as many would instead spend time with their loved ones, cherishing what little moments they have left in the company of those they have spent their life with. I am one of those in the second party, spending time here with those I love, but with it I would do something that is far more terrifying and freeing than any other option... I would use my voice.

The Past, The Present?
Back in college, I had the worst reaction to wax. Roughly thirty minutes after, I was sitting on my bed, staring at my hands the whole time, couldn't see anything but a labyrinth. Matrix after matrix, I began to feel better at the same time, still trapped in the middle of psychedelic madness. I knew it would pass eventually, but during the long hours when reality became unattainable, I was praying and begging for it to stop.

Communication Issues
I have communication issues. More specifically issues communicating to people one on one, but I struggle speaking up about anything publicly as well. I’ve always liked writing my thoughts out, it’s somewhat therapeutic for me to do so, but at the same time I think people may not care about any of it, or people may get mad, so I decide to keep my mouth shut and bottle things up until they sort of just… come out. This is something I’ve struggled with my entire life, but more so in the last year than any other time. Perhaps though, that may be because of my parents, or it may be from having friends get angry at me when I had any sort of thought different to theirs, whether it be politics, religion, or even something as miniscule as food preferences.

The Egregore of Truth
"In the shadow of the gods are the very gods themselves." James Hillman. For the past three years I've immersed myself into the world of my own shadows. I've always been naturally inclined to self-improvement. I'm an aspiring psychologist working through my degree program. I'm deeply spiritual and take the tack that every being has light and dark within and that we shouldn't damn the darkness and exalt the light in us as though we are champions. However, up until several years ago I did just that. As I've self-actualized and spent time in meditation I've learned to hold space for both things to be honored. Because they are there for a reason. Without going too much into my personal journey I wanted to highlight some food for thought about the statement I began with.
