How to heal fully and properly.
It won't always be easy
We have to remind ourselves of why we are doing what we are doing and not always expect the Universe to show us the way. Since the last time I wrote anything, I would say it has been a little over a year, the more and more “woke” I became, the more and more I started to realize that I was going have to start to remind myself of why I am doing what I am doing instead of always expecting the answers to my question as easily as the Universe makes them at times. Going through trials and tribulations are going to be part of that reminder to yourself, in a sense it’s the way the Universe is going to see if you really are trusting and believing in the process of where your journey is headed and where you are truly meant to be.

From Anti-Religion to Advocate for All
When we hear prejudice, hate, or stereotyping, we often think about how these issues have impacted minorities. Majority populations are often stereotyped as well. No matter who is the target, such attitudes can hurt. The person who is hurt the most, however, is the one who hates.

OUT OF SEASON
Tilling the Earth with hopes of reaping a blessing. That was not a thought in my conception. I intruded a struggling garden out of season. Weeds do not ask for permission they grow until checked. What type of future could I be promised if any? Can bare hands move Earth to plant a crop worthy of harvesting? My beginning was shaped in lost hopes and dreams my foundation was beautiful. So how could I come forth with dreams and hope? Life had to be put on pause for me to come into this world. I did not ask for the pain you had to endure just for me to smile.

Visionary Glow
After creating my vision board based on some traumatic experiences in my life then i decided to use the same images towards a new vision. My vision was to transform the pain of my past into a renewal of self growth. I developed a daily routine of self care. What makes my routine extra special is i used these images from my past and transitioned into a new way of thinking about them.

The Manchester Bombing: My Story
My name is Maria Winter and on the 22nd of May 2017, I was involved in the Manchester arena attack. I remember how excited I was to be finally seeing my idol, I couldn’t wait. One of my closest friends also wanted to share this experience with me, so we went together. I was the happiest girl in the world! My dad drove us to the arena. The journey was quite long and I remember listening to Ariana’s Dangerous Woman album on repeat to make the journey seem quicker. Once we were dropped off, thousands of people were waiting to get in at the entrance - it was crazy. I already don’t particularly like large crowds, so I felt slightly uncertain (a feeling I didn’t listen to). As we went through security, I remember thinking how minimal this was. I understand they needed to get people in quickly, however their effort needed to be twice as thorough.

Emotional Grave
The sky glows white from the flashing of the lighting. The wind blows back and forth as if dancing to a song. His vision blurry and distorted from the beating sound in his head. The clashing of words so loud he can't hear himself anymore. He stands there staring at the ashes. Staring at what was meant to be his living insides, the parts that showed him life. This shadow that lingered in his soul. A being that he shared everything with,a shadow of his past, present, and future. This shadow that he ripped from his body so that it could not cloud him in darkness. Slayed by his own hands, an enemy yet also an ally. His hate for it grow until he couldn’t handle it any more. The memoirs of it betraying him and helping him flash though his mind, the good the bad and the terrible. He couldn’t stand it, he couldn’t take it any more. So he ripped it out of his chest and forced it to fight. To the death he tells the shadow. Only one can remain, this life can not hold them both. The pain echoing though his bones as he feels the presents of the shadow slowly fade. Not able to live out side his body, screaming to be let back in. He stumbles backwards and the Shadow crawls closer to him staring at him with a blank expression. Screaming with every forward motion, yelling that he need the shadow to live Telling him that with out the shadow he would be nothing but an empty shell just wondering the world, searching. Searching for a meaning to his life then, that he was making a mistake by ripping the shadow out. He glared at the shadow and growls that he could have a better life with out the darkness flowing though him. Without having to listen to the darkness whisper in his ears. Then suddenly a pain like no other pierces his heart and he collapse, and finally he hears what the shadow was saying. Watching the shadow slip from this life, feeling his strength seep away along with it. Reaching out with the last of his strength, he wraps himself around the shadow and welcomes it back. Understanding that even though the light of life there is a shadow that will always be there to challenge you, to make you better.

The Serenity Prayer Energized
When I was a child, I went to Al-anon meetings with my cousin. My uncle was an alcoholic. I learned the Serenity prayer there. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

Searching For Love
And this is what happens when one is distraught, destitute, desperate, and... diseased? My name is T (aka Timothy Bartsch). I have lived with HIV for over twenty-two years (tested positive in 1996), and nearly died from AIDS in 2009.

Legendary Poetry: Where is my mind?
Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where could it have possibly have gone? I remember having it once. Now it is gone. Far gone. Far, far away never to be found again. My mind is a distant memory to me. To be honest, I don't ever remember having a mind. Ever. And ever, and ever, Amen.

Freedom
I stood outside, relieving some stress after a long day when I felt the moon shining down on me. I looked up, and I see how beautiful it was, and I just had to take a picture. Taking some time to myself to get some fresh air is something that I often do. It helps me clear my mind, and sometimes I will go barefoot to feel the ground beneath my feet. It is an extremely relaxing feeling that I encourage others to try. I sometimes being to meditate as I take in the freshness surrounding me. This picture was chosen because of the feeling and song I had playing at that very moment. I have been expressing myself through music a lot lately on Instagram, and I knew the perfect song to put with the "MoonShine!!!" picture on my story. I chose the song "Freedom" by Nicki Minaj. This song was chosen because whenever I am outdoors, I feel a sense of freedom. Since you can not put an entire song on an Instagram story, I chose certain lyrics to express the feeling i had at the moment. Click the Instagram link to view the lyric I chose to accompany the picture.
