How to heal fully and properly.
Seams
All I want is to be happy, but that’s all anyone really wants, isn’t it? Have you ever had so many feelings running through your mind and soul that you can feel the metaphorical seams of your body start to rip? So much anger, there’s a stitch that popped. Fear, that’s a stitch following suit. Frustration, there’s a stitch. Hopelessness, stitch. Pain, stitch. Irritation, stitch. Thousands of more ways to explain anger and sadness, stitches.

The Girl in the Shadows
They all know me but they don’t know me personally. They say I’m nice, sweet, kind, caring, thoughtful and trustworthy. They don’t know me or how I really am. What they don’t know is that I just want a friend, someone I can count on, someone to love other than my family. I want someone to be there for me, and most of all I want someone to care. Everyone has their own battles but not everyone can fight them alone, even though they seem stronger than you are. I know that because the people who I think are strong come to me for advice. When I need advice who do I turn too? Where can I go? Yes I am thankful for the friends and family I have around me. I am always grateful for the things I have. Deep down I know I can have more, but when will it be my turn? I try to be supportive of everyone but truthfully it has done nothing but send me back to square one. Back to the place I was excited to leave. When I turn bitter, I see everyone excelling. When I try to be supportive I still see people excelling. When will it be my turn? When can I finally see some progress in my my life? That’s all I want. I want to work towards my happiness but my happiness comes from seeing people happy which I enjoy. I don’t mind helping people. I enjoy people feeling better knowing that I have helped them. At the end of the day, I am drained and lost in a world where I know I can be doing big things but something is holding me back. I feel like I've ended up with people that made me feel alone because they only call me when they need me. I learned how to plan my life around what I really want in life, and that doesn't include many people. It's ok. I've learned to deal with loneliness by doing things I like by myself.

Embers
There was a stillness to the day; a calm that contrasted to the busy city flow of traffic and people bustling for warmth and comfort. Ice crystals winked in the air just in front of her nose and pierced her cheeks like tiny winter daggers, gleeful in their winter cold. Looking up at the sky and its depth of untainted blue she found herself gazing breathless and in that second loosing her concentration she felt her feet slipping on unforgiving ice. Earnestly adjusting her balance on unsteady feet, her equilibrium soon regained. Her mind converged with her body.

Sickness
Fear is only two of many different ways we perceive it to be. True fear which you acknowledge as danger causes you to freeze, hide, or flee. Then there's irrational fear which is a phobia, but fear could also be a sickness for the people who think very differently than the "normal" way of thinking. Fear can cause damage to a person's brain and impair the memories, so their way of thinking is distorted.

Toxic Habits That Successful People Don't Do
Perhaps one of the most uncomfortable truths about life is that sometimes, you can do every little thing perfectly and still fail. It's terrible, but life is not fair. However, in the majority of peoples' cases, the reason that they are failing at their goals doesn't really have much to do with bad luck.

What Being a Teen in 2018 Is Like
Being a teen is supposed to be fun; you're growing up and experiencing new things. You aren't stressed, don't have a care in the world, and don't have real problems, right? Wrong. Teen life has changed significantly in the past decade, and as it turns out, being a teen isn't all it's cracked up to be. After all, it takes one to know one.

Negativity
I used to care what people thought of me to the point of obsession. Gossip runs rampant and I couldn't help but feel paranoid that I was also the topic of conversation when not around. I live in a small town where everyone's business is known. I've made a lot of mistakes here and town arrests make the news... literally. When I failed epically I also failed publicly. I was a negative judgmental person myself back then so I really can't be too upset about some of the rumors my drunken nights created.

Have You Ever Seen a Dragon?
Have you ever seen a dragon? I did—in my dreams. I always knew that human dreams have power. When we dream, our conscious speaks to us and all of the wonders in the world could happen, just when our eyes are closed. Sometimes, I would see dreams that later on would happen in real life. Now, I am not saying that I can see the future, but there is something in all of us, something that each human being need to recognize.

Why I Make Art
Art has always been very special to me throughout the years of growing up. It has shaped me into the person I am today and has helped me overcome many struggles throughout my years. I make art because it gave me confidence, it became therapy for me, it helped me to go into the zone, it helped me concentrate, and it showed me what I was capable of creating. These are many of the reasons why I make art.
